Chapter 993
âIf you didnât really like him, you wouldnât care about losing himâ Sallie chuckled at Cornelia, âYour husband is such a great guy, and youâre with him day in and day out. How could you possibly not like him?â
Comeha didnât reply just quietly looking out at the sea of clouds Sallie was right. If she didnât like him, she wouldn I care if Marcus left her
The reason she was scored was that she cared about him. She was scared of not being able to spend the rest of her life with him
Sallie went on, âCornelia, thereâs something I want to tell you. Want to hear it?â
Cornelia asked. âWhat is it?â
Sallie asked. âDo you remember when Marc took you to my studio to buy a dress?â
Cornelia nodded. I remember.â
Sallie said. âI asked him then if he liked you Guess what he said?â
Cornelia turned to ask, âWhat did he say?â
Sallie said. âAll he said was that you were his wife. I knew then that his feelings for you werenât love, but a sense of responsibility But today, I asked him the same question and he gave me an unequivocal and serious answer. He said he liked youâ
Cornelia knew that Marcus was never stingy about expressing his liking for her, and she understood what Sallie wasâ saying. So she said, âBut how long can this liking last?â
Sallie asked. âDonât you trust him?â
Cornelia said, âItâs not that I donât trust him. Itâs just that the human heart is the rnost unpredictable thing in the world.â
Sallie said, âIm not sure about other men, but I trust Marc. Iâve known him for over a decade, longer than you have, and I should know him better. Iâve never seen him. intimately involved with any other women, except youâ
Cornelia smiled and looked back out at the clouds It wasnât that she was worried that Marcus would change his heart; she was worried that she would change. Not only did her fatherâs blood run through her veins, but Clairâs as well.
If one day, she too became like Clair, abandoning her husband and children for the pursuit of excitement, or whatever⦠Even the thought was detestable to her!
Feeling that Cornelia didnât want to discuss this topic any further, Sallie switched the subject, âWhat brings you to Rosenberg this time? Why didnât Marc come with you?â
Cornelia said, âIâm from Rosenberg.â
Sallie said, âI see. Did you hear about what happened in Rosenberg a few days ago?â
Cornelia asked, âYou mean the video?â
Sallie said, âYes. A few days ago, a girl was drugged and taken home by a man, only to be misunderstood as a mistress. The video had a big impact. Even the popular actress Hannah spoke out for the girl, attracting widespread attention in society.
âBecause the incident happened in Rosenberg, the Rosenberg government planned to hold a charity event, and I was invited as a guest. If youâre interested, you can come and see Weâll try to speak out for more womenâ
Cornelia was overjoyed to hear the news, which justified her decision to go public with the video.
If more and more attention can be paid to this victimized group, and if everyone pays enough attention, then there would be fewer incidents in the future
Cornelia asked. âHave you considered contacting the girl in the video, to have her speak out with you?â
Sallie replied, âSomeone suggested it, but most people were against it. Though the girl is not at fault, you know how harsh society can be on women. If we release her current photo, it would definitely affect her normal life, which is not what people who truly want to speak out for her would want to see.
Cornelia followed up. âWhat if sheâs willing to do it herself?â
