    Chapter 444


    Corne wasn’t sure what to bring up, so she asked. Is there anything in particr you fancy chatting


    about?]


    Jeremy answered [Well, the main reason I texted you tonight was to ask if you’re happy with the house


    renovations? When are you nning to move in? Just give me a heads up on the date, and I’ll sort out


    the movingpany for you]


    He’d just asked about her house, no sweet nothings, but it still managed to tug at Cornelia’s


    heartstrings, It caused her tears to uncontrobly trickle down her cheeks.


    Choking back her sobs, Cornelia voiced her deepest feelings, “Jeremy, can youe back to Riverton


    sooner? I really miss you, I can’t wait to see your


    Such a shame Jeremy couldn’t hear her.


    After crying her heart out and drying her tears, Cornelia replied to his message: [The guy you


    rmended. Trent, is top–notch and super responsible. I’m really satisfied with how he did up my


    house. It’s gonna take a while before I can move in. I’m nning to move some of the non–essentials


    over in the meantime.]


    Jeremy replied. [Alright, get your stuff sorted and I’ll get someone over to help with the move ]


    Cornelia said [I don’t have much to move. Zack, Abby and I should be able to handle it. And about that


    time you heard someone call me ‘baby‘, that was Zack. Zack’s a guy, Abby’s a girl. We’ve known each


    other since we were kids, went to college in Riverton together, and decided to stay and build our lives


    here after graduation. They’re important to me, people I cherish deeply]


    Jeremy replied [if they’re important to you, I’ll treat them right too]


    Cornelia knew Jeremy’s feelings for her were more out of a sense of duty as her husband, rather than


    love. But she never expected him to extend that to her friends. His words moved her to tears again.


    She quickly changed the subject: [You’re getting sweeter by the minute]


    Jeremy asked [Am I really that sweet?]


    Cornelia answered [We’ll see when we meet, I’ll have a taste and see how sweet you really are]

    After sending the message. Cornelia realized she’d been a bit too forward and felt guilty. She quickly


    retracted her message, pretending nothing had happened


    She had no idea if Jeremy had seen her message, either way, he didn’t respond.


    Lying in bed, her cheeks flushed Cornelia said to Jeremy: [I’m turning in for the night, goodnight!]


    Marcus replied: [Goodnight.] He thought about the message Cornelia had retracted, he’d have to make


    sure she got a taste. He couldn’t let her down.


    Photos of President Hartley and his wife were making the rounds online, it wasn’t justizens busy


    discussing their photos. Behind the scenes, someone was busy too.


    After reading the news online, Cameron Reese hesitated before dialing a long–uncontacted number.


    He said to the person on the other end of the line, “You must’ve seen the news by now. Marc and his


    wife were spotted tonight, their photo was posted online. I’ve sent someone to find the person who took


    the photo. Once we find him, we’ll know the identity of Marc’s wife.”


    “Hal” A cold, middle–aged male voiceughed over the phone, “No wonder the gap between our two


    companies has grown ever since your generation took over. You and Marcus have known each other


    since you were kids. Yet after all these years, you still don’t get him?”
