    Marcus gave her a nod, sensing her apparent nerves, and turned to walk towards the hall However,


    she called him back asking if he needed more time to think about it


    He turned around and saw a certain confusion in Cornelia’s eyes So he asked her, “Got cold feet or


    something?”


    If she didn’t want to marry him or wanted to postpone the wedding he was willing to respect her


    decision


    She was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, “Let’s go.”


    There weren’t many people registering for marriage that day, so they were able toplete the


    registration quickly He was now her legal husband, and she was his legal wife Onginally they nned


    to have a meal after the registration, sit down and talk, get to know each other, and discuss their future


    ns for their marriage But because he had to rush to the States to handle some business, he had to


    change his ns.


    He handed her a bank card that he had prepared in advance, loaded with ten million, and told her that


    she could use the money at will. Then he hightailed out of there to the airport.


    He left in a rush, not even looking back to see her expression and not knowing what she was thinking


    at the time. Maybe she was very disappointed with her new husband


    On the way to the airport, his grandmother called “Marc, Ive prepared a lot of good food. After you and


    Nelly get your certificate, bring her home for dinner”


    He replied, “Granny, I’m on my way to the airport.”


    His grandmother immediately raised her voice when she heard this. “You say what now?”


    He knew it was wrong to just drop his newlywed wife like this, but with the pressing business at hand,


    he chose what seemed more important at the time. “There’s some important stuff i need to take care of


    in the States. Once I’m done…”


    But before he could finish, his grandmother started yelling at him, her voice practically piercing his


    eardrums. “Tell me, did you two get your certificate yet?”


    He replied. “We did”


    Upon hearing this, his grandmother scolded him even more angrily “Jeremy, now that you’re married,


    you just up and leave your wife like this? Are you even human? If you’re going to the States, can’t you


    take her with you?”


    If he took her to the States, it would meanpletely severing her original life and work and making


    her his appendage. He thought that was too cruel. Marriage shouldn’t be like this “Granny, she should


    have her own life and work; she can’t just do whatever I say because we’re married.”


    But his grandma barely listened to his exnation, she kept scolding him on the other end of the line


    “You jerk, how can you do this? How am I supposed to exin this to Nelly and her grandma? Listen


    here, you better wrap up your stuff in the States pronto ande back to bring Nelly home. Nelly is a


    good girl and you’re lucky to have her. Treasure ner If you pull something like your good–for–nothing


    father, I’m disowning you”


    Under such circumstances, he had no desire to discuss that man “Please don’t lump me together with


    him, we’re two different people. Once I’m back in Hong Kong, I’ll pick up Nelly”


    Little did he know that his promise would take a year


    Not only did he neglect to contact her due to his busy work schedule, but he also didn’t give her the


    attention she deserved, otherwise, he would’ve found the time to call
