    Comelia replied, “He’s not only my boyfriend, he’s my hubby”


    Taylor asked in surprise, “You’re married? When did this happen? Howe I didn’t know a thing


    about it? You’re still pretty young, aren’t you? Why’d you get hitched so early?”


    Cornelia responded, “Yesterday just happened to be our second wedding anniversary Didn’t I tell you I


    was married?”


    Taylor eximed, “Two years already? That long? You’re not even twenty–five yet, so two years ago


    you were just twenty–three. So, you got married right after you graduated from college?


    Cornelia nodded, “Yeah, something like that.”


    Taylor asked, “Is this guy a college buddy or a coworker?”


    Cornelia and Taylor had known each other for years. Besides Zack and Abigail, Cornelia didn’t have


    many friends.


    In college, they often did part–time jobs together. Cornelia trusted Taylor like an older brother.


    She didn’t hide anything from him, “He’s neither a college buddy nor a coworker We met through a


    blind date. He’s the grandson of my grandma’s friend and both elders wanted us to be together, so we


    did


    Before Cornelia could finish, Taylor shook his head impatiently. “What era are we living in? Why listen


    to the old folks? Cornelia, you’re a talented graduate from the University of Riverton. Why didn’t you put


    up a fight? Marriage is a big deal. It’s the next few decades of your life. Why didn’t you give it some


    serious thought?”


    Cornelia responded, “Anyway, marriage is just two people living together. What does it matter how we


    met?”


    When Marcus, who was standing next to Cornelia, heard this, he frowned slightly. He married Cornelia


    with this mindset initially, so why did he feel so ufortable now upon hearing that Cornelia still held


    the same thoughts?


    Taylor asked, “Is that what you think? So, you’re not in love with your husband? Can you tell me what


    he looks like? How old is he?”


    Cornelia dodged the love question. I think my husband is quite handsome.


    Not just handsome, but very, very handsome.


    Cornelia didn’t voice her true thoughts, fearing they’d make Taylor self–conscious.


    Taylor said, “That’s because you haven’t seen the fish in the sea. To you, the fish in your tank is the


    best.”


    Cornelia fell silent.


    Taylor continued, “We’ve known each other for so long. After seeing a man as handsome and rich as


    me, how could you settle for an average guy?”


    This was actually true. After seeing a top–tier man like Marcus, no other man could be considered


    handsome in Cornelia’s eyes.


    Taylor urged. ‘Speak up”


    Cornelia responded, “Do you have some misunderstanding about being handsome and rich?”


    If they were talking about being handsome and rich, who could outdo her man? Justparing looks,


    Taylor was not bad. But whenpared to Marcus, his looks fell short


    Taylor, who had some feelings for Cornelia, felt a bit sad hearing the news of her marriage, “Why


    couldn’t you wait for me for two years?”


    Cornelia, a forthright woman,pletely failed to catch Taylor’s hint, “Why should I wait for you for two


    years?”


    Taylor said, “Because.”

    A sudden fake cough interrupted Taylor’s words


    Marcus, clutching his chest, coughed harder and harder. This cough was obviously fake, so fake that


    Taylor on the other end of the phone could tell, but Cornelia didn’t.


    “Taylor, my husband is not feeling well right now, let’s talk some other time” Cornelia quickly hung up


    and rushed over to Marcus, flinging her arms around him in a tight hug
