Chapter 964

Tahlia answered, “He’s tight with Cameron and Marc, especially Marc. Most of the time when I see him, he’s with Marc. So he seems kinda hard to approach.”

Suddenly. Tahlia seemed to realize something, “Hold on, I gotta start calling Marc, Mr. Hartley. You took me in and let me live at your place, will I mess up your relationship with him?”

Cornelia replied gently, “He knows I took you in. He’s really sweet and considerate. I don’t have to ask for anything, and he just takes care of it all. Most importantly, despite his high position, he doesn’t disrespect people like some men do. He respects my decisions and always listens to my opinions in life. He’s a really good man, the best I’ve ever met.”

Tahlia asked, “You’re talking about Mr. Hartley?”

Cornelia replied, “Who else could it be?”

Tahlia said, “He must really love you.”

Cornelia said, “He’s just a responsible good man. He married me, so he has to be good to me. Despite saying this, Cornelia felt really warm inside.

Even though she never had a romantic relationship before, Cornelia wasn’t a fool. She could tell Marcus loved her. He had said more than once that he liked her. So he must like her, probably even more than she thought.

Tahlia said, “Don’t deny it, you’re his wife, and it’s so wonderful that he loves you.”

There were many rumors about Marcus. Some said he was heartless, some said he was ruthless. Many people, including those in the Reese family, felt fear at the mention of his name. Tahlia once witnessed Marcus‘ ruthlessness. But in Cornelia’s heart, the man everyone feared was a gentle, considerate, and respectful husband. Tahlia thought, this must be love.

No matter how tough Marcus was outside, he was just an ordinary man in front of his wife.

They walked into the park’s green path.

Tahlia asked again, “Did you marry him first or become his assistant first? Can you tell me how you guys got married?”

Cornelia answered, “Our grandmothers were friends when they were young. After they each got their own families, they still kept in touch. Before cell phones, they kept in touch through letters

“Later I came to Riverton for college, and our grandmothers secretly planned to pair us up. We both agreed to get married to give them peace of mind. After we got married, Marcus went to the U.S. for a year and had no contact with me. I was so busy with work that I almost forgot about him. During this time I was transferred to the Hartley Group’s headquarters. After a series of evaluations, I became his assistant the day he returned. But I had no idea that he was actually my husband.”

Tahlia said, “Your story is even more bizarre and exciting than novels and TV shows.”

Cornelia laughed, “Indeed!”

Tahlia said, “Cornelia.”

Cornelia asked, “What’s up?”

Tahlia asked, “I’ve always wanted to marry Marc. Will that cause a rift between us?”

Cornelia said, “Ask yourself, do you really like him? Do you genuinely want to marry him?”

Tahlia answered, “Actually, I think I crave freedom more.” She had been reflecting on this. Marrying Marcus wasn’t what she truly wanted; it was just something her family kept saying. Hearing it so many times, she just assumed she wouldn’t marry anyone but Marcus.
