Chapter 417


    Chapter 417


    Jeremy wasn’t willing to exin to her for a reason. Cornelia was okay waiting until he was ready to


    talk: [When are youing back to Riverton?]


    Jeremy: [Not sure about the exact date, but it should be in the next few days.]


    Cornelia: [My boss and I just got back to Riverton and our schedule is packed. We’re busy tillte night


    every day, so I might not have time to see you these days. He doesn’t have anything nned next


    weekend, so I should be free. If you are in Riverton then, shall we meet up next weekend?]


    Jeremy answered: [Sure!]


    Cornelia added: (Jeremy, I have something to tell you.]


    Jeremy: [Go ahead.]


    [The future life is to be spent with you, your parents‘ infidelity is their issue. It has nothing to do with


    you. As long as you are faithful to our marriage, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you.] After


    typing these words, Cornelia felt something was off.


    Jeremy didn’t know that she knew about his parents, bringing it up would only make him feel awkward.


    So, she deleted some words: [Jeremy, I just want to tell you, as long as you are faithful to our marriage.


    No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to stick with you.]


    No matter what happened in the future, she was willing to stick with him.


    Seeing this sentence, Marcus remembered what she said to him not long ago, “Don’t be afraid, you


    have me.”


    She always touched his soft spot with a tender and firm approach, as if infusing warmth into his heart.


    She was making him feel a warmth he never had before, and letting him know that not everything has


    to be borne by him alone. There was someone willing to face


    the storm with him.


    Marcus slowly raised his hand to cover his chest, he could feel his heart beating fast at this moment, as


    if it was about to jump out of


    his mouth.


    He had never experienced such a feeling, he was a bit panicked at first. But soon only a warm and


    sweet feeling was left, just like a warm spring.


    He said: [I understand.]


    Cornelia: [Good night!]


    Jeremy: [Good night!]


    After ending the conversation with Jeremy, Cornelia fell asleep immediately.


    But in the bedroom on the third floor, Marcus couldn’t sleep at all. Cornelia’s words tonight eased some


    of his worries, but new ones


    appeared.


    Cornelia didn’t care about her husband having such disgraceful parents, or the kind of blood flowing in


    his body. But that didn’t mean Cornelia would ept Jeremy and Marcus were the same person.


    At work, he always handled things decisively in the shortest time, but when it came to feelings, he had


    almost no experience and always didn’t know how to handle them.


    After much thought, Marcus dialed Steven’s number. The phone rang for a while before it was


    answered. Apanied by Steven’s heavy breathing, it was not hard to guess what he was just doing.

    Steven said with annoyance, “Oh my God, President Hartley, do you know what time it is? You might


    not need rest, but other people need to sleep.”
