    He didn’t even bother to ask her or give her a chance to exin, just assumed she was unfaithful With


    no basic trust between them. Cornelia felt there was no need for their marriage to continue


    Before waiting for Jeremy’s reply, Cornelia texted back “Jeremy, thanks for telling me the truth! Actually,


    this mess isn’t just your fault, I’m to me too. Marriage ain’t a game, but we both messed up and


    treated it like one Let’s just put an end to this mistake”


    After sending the message. Cornelia put down her phone and stared nkly at the ceiling.


    Her mind drifted back to that rainy night years ago, remembering the cold and emotionless voice of that


    man “Cornelia, I know everything you’ve done. Our family can’t take this shame if we ever meet again,


    just pretend you don’t know me!


    Suddenly, Corneliaughed


    What did these people take her for?


    Someone they could toss away at will?


    They’d throw her away like trash when they thought she was dirty, and pick her back up for fun when


    they thought she was clean again.


    All these years, she had worked hard to be independent, to live a good life without relying on a


    man


    No one could hold her hostage with their so–called morals anymore,


    Just as Marcus said, she hadn’t done anything wrong


    Meanwhile, after reading Cornelia’s message, Marcus smoked one cigarette after another.


    From the day he found out Cornelia was his wife, he knew she wouldn’t easily forgive Jeremy.


    Now that his prediction hade true, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.


    This was the first time he wanted to protect a girl, but he never expected it to be in this situation.


    After thinking for a while, he texted Steven Dixon: “If I remember correctly, your wife didn’t want to


    marry you at first. How did you manage to make your rtionship so harmonious now?” Instead of


    replying to the message, Steven called “Marc, are you finally wanting to pursue your little assistant?


    Congrats to the 28–year–old bachelor who’s finally catching feelings!”

    Marcus neither confirmed nor denied, just said, “Answer my question.”


    Steven proudly shared his secret of winning his wife over: ‘First, you gotta seal the deal in bed. Then


    use your manly charm and a harmonious life to make herpletely submit. My wife can’t live without


    me now. It’s not easy to find a guy as great and healthy as me, especially those unreliable male celebs


    in her circle.”


    Feeling like he asked the wrong person, Marcus cut him off: “Enough.”


    “What’s the rush? Are you really after your little assistant?”


    “I want to make up with my wife”


    “You can’t be ying both sides.”


    Marcus disagreed with Steven’s usation, “ying both sides? When did I ever waver?”


    He had always wanted to live a good life with his wife.


    If not for the misunderstanding of mistaking someone else for her, maybe he would have already


    brought her home instead of living separately in the same building.


    Stevenughed, “You’re attracted to your assistant while trying to make up with your wife. If that’s not


    wavering, what is?”


    “The feelings I have for my assistant are not what you think,” Marcus exined that his appreciation for


    his assistant, Cornelia, was due to her impable work ethic.
