    Chapter 722


    Cornelia said, “I don’t want to work anymore either. I want to live a rxed life, retire early, and move


    into the seaside vi that Grandma gave me. I wish to wake up every day to the view of the sea, feel


    the ocean breeze, and enjoy the sea view. I no longer want to be bound by strict work hours, stuck in


    traffic every day whilemuting, or be constantly on the go following the demands of superior. I just


    want to break free from the busy work life.”


    Abigail said, “Count me in! Cornelia, just quit already. I’ll be your nanny, cooking, doingundry, and


    taking care of the garden. Just pay me a decent wage. But, make sure to reserve a room for me with a


    good view. So, I can see the sea from my bed.”


    Zack said, “Are you guys daydreaming or what?”


    Abigail said, “Cornelia is a billionaire now. These dreams can definitely be a reality.”


    Cornelia said, “Zack, don’t be jelly. There’s a room for Abby in my vi, and of course, there’s one for


    you too. I got it all nned out. Us three, plus granny, we would all move in together. We can take a


    stroll at home, tend the garden. Life would be superfy.”


    He was not part of her n. She imed she wanted to spend her life with him, but he wasn’t even in


    her future ns.


    This realization, like a bucket of cold water, instantly doused Marcus‘ enthusiasm. But then, he heard


    her gentle voice, “Jeremy isn’t much of a crowd person. We could reserve a whole floor for him. When


    we’re too loud, he can enjoy his solitude upstairs. When he feels like hanging out, he can join us.”


    He was not absent from her ns. He was part of her n, and she actually had considered a lot for


    him.


    Marcus watched her silently.


    He didn’t know how long he’d been standing behind her before Cornelia finished her call. The moment


    she looked up, she saw him through the mirror.


    She turned around, gave him a sweet smile, then ran towards him with paper and pen in hand.


    Instinctively, Marcus opened his arms, ready to catch her.


    She stopped in front of him, lifted the paper to his eyes, and said, “President Hartley, look, I made


    money again.”

    His attention was entirely on her face, unable to shift to the paper in her hand. He watched her smiling,


    her lips moving as she spoke, and listened to the sound of her voice…


    In that moment, how he wished to weave her into his life!


    He tried to adjust his emotions, shifted his gaze onto the paper, and finally saw what she’d written.

    Cornelia pointed at the numbers on the paper, excitedly saying, “Tonight, I sold your picture and made


    a big chunk of cash. Adding it all up, I can pay off my mortgage now. Even though I didn’t make as


    much as you, at least I won’t be a burden…”


    So, this was why she was working so hard, always busy.


    He gently stroked her cheek, looked into her eyes, letting her see the sincerity in his, “Cornelia, you’ve


    never been a burden to me.”


    Cornelia looked at him, peering deeply into the sincerity reflected in his eyes, “I know I’ve never been a


    burden to you, but I feel like I am. I never thought I’d marry you, or that my husband would be so


    wealthy. Suddenly realizing that you’re my Jeremy, my husband, can you imagine how scared and


    insecure that makes me?”
