Chapter 669
Comelia replied, âHeâs not only my boyfriend, heâs my hubbyâ
Taylor asked in surprise, âYouâre married? When did this happen? How come I didnât know a thing about it? Youâre still pretty young, arenât you? Whyâd you get hitched so early?â
Cornelia responded, âYesterday just happened to be our second wedding anniversary Didnât I tell you I was married?â
Taylor exclaimed, âTwo years already? That long? Youâre not even twentyâfive yet, so two years ago you were just twentyâthree. So, you got married right after you graduated from college?
Cornelia nodded, âYeah, something like that.â
Taylor asked, âIs this guy a college buddy or a coworker?â
Cornelia and Taylor had known each other for years. Besides Zack and Abigail, Cornelia didnât have many friends.
In college, they often did partâtime jobs together. Cornelia trusted Taylor like an older brother.
She didnât hide anything from him, âHeâs neither a college buddy nor a coworker We met through a blind date. Heâs the grandson of my grandmaâs friend and both elders wanted us to be together, so we did
Before Cornelia could finish, Taylor shook his head impatiently. âWhat era are we living in? Why listen to the old folks? Cornelia, youâre a talented graduate from the University of Riverton. Why didnât you put up a fight? Marriage is a big deal. Itâs the next few decades of your life. Why didnât you give it some serious thought?â
Cornelia responded, âAnyway, marriage is just two people living together. What does it matter how we met?â
When Marcus, who was standing next to Cornelia, heard this, he frowned slightly. He married Cornelia with this mindset initially, so why did he feel so uncomfortable now upon hearing that Cornelia still held the same thoughts?
Taylor asked, âIs that what you think? So, youâre not in love with your husband? Can you tell me what he looks like? How old is he?â
Cornelia dodged the love question. I think my husband is quite handsome.
Not just handsome, but very, very handsome.
Cornelia didnât voice her true thoughts, fearing theyâd make Taylor selfâconscious.
Taylor said, âThatâs because you havenât seen the fish in the sea. To you, the fish in your tank is the best.â
Cornelia fell silent.
Taylor continued, âWeâve known each other for so long. After seeing a man as handsome and rich as me, how could you settle for an average guy?â
This was actually true. After seeing a topâtier man like Marcus, no other man could be considered handsome in Corneliaâs eyes.
Taylor urged. âSpeak upâ
Cornelia responded, âDo you have some misunderstanding about being handsome and rich?â
If they were talking about being handsome and rich, who could outdo her man? Just comparing looks, Taylor was not bad. But when compared to Marcus, his looks fell short
Taylor, who had some feelings for Cornelia, felt a bit sad hearing the news of her marriage, âWhy couldnât you wait for me for two years?â
Cornelia, a forthright woman, completely failed to catch Taylorâs hint, âWhy should I wait for you for two years?â
Taylor said, âBecause.â
A sudden fake cough interrupted Taylorâs words
Marcus, clutching his chest, coughed harder and harder. This cough was obviously fake, so fake that Taylor on the other end of the phone could tell, but Cornelia didnât.
âTaylor, my husband is not feeling well right now, letâs talk some other timeâ Cornelia quickly hung up and rushed over to Marcus, flinging her arms around him in a tight
hug
