    Because Marcus started acting weird after he bumped into Brennen. Cornelia was dying to know what


    Brennen had said to him that day, but no matter how hard she probed, Marcus wouldn’t spill the beans.


    Cornelia reached out, gently touching his wless face, “We’re married, remember? We promised to


    tackle everything together. Why won’t you tell me what’s going


    on?”


    Just as Comelia was getting all confused, her phone buzzed twice, alerting her to a new message.


    Picking up her phone, Cornelia discovered a text from an unknown number: [Cornelia, it’s me, Skyler“]


    She had just mentioned Skyler, and now she got a message from her!


    Cornelia quickly texted back [Skyler, how’s life treating you?]


    Skyler replied [Why aren’t you asking where I am?]


    Cornelia texted back: [I’m scared my phone’s been tapped by Zavier again, so I didn’t dare ask ]


    Skyler responded: [He could’ve tapped your phone once, but there’s no way he could do it a second


    time. Your husband Marcus would protect you]


    Cornelia replied [Can you tell me where you are then? I’m tom. I want to know where you are, but I’m


    afraid to know]


    Skyler replied: [I’m in Riverton. If you’re free tomorrow, we can have dinner together]


    She was in Riverton! This news made Comelia both happy and terrified: [Skyler, when did youe


    back? Howe you dared toe to Riverton, aren’t you scared of Zavier finding you? Or do you


    just not care anymore?]


    Skyler responded. [I’ve actually always been in Riverton]


    Cornelia couldn’t believe her eyes: [You’ve been in Riverton all this time? Since when?


    Skyler replied: [Ever since we split up in France, your husband Marcus helped me get back to Riverton.


    He said the most dangerous ce is the safest. Sure enough, Zavier searched everywhere but


    Riverton.]


    Comelia had to admire Marcus: [Marcus is really something. He thinks of everything]


    Skyler texted [Cornelia, congrats!]


    Cornelia replied: [Congrats for what all of a sudden?]


    Skyler responded: [I just found out your husband is Marcus. Congrats for scoring such a gentle,


    considerate husband who respects you]


    Cornelia replied, [I didn’t mean to keep it from you guys, I didn’t know he was my husband before.]


    Skyler responded: I know. I never med you for keeping it from me.]

    Cornelia texted. [Skyler, where have you been in Riverton these past few months?]


    Skyler replied: [The Hartley Group]


    Cornelia texted [What did you just say?]


    Skyler responded: [I got a job at the Hartley Group’s finance department based on my own skills. I’ve


    been working there for several months. Because I spend more time with data than with coworkers, our


    chances of running into each other are even slimmer]


    Cornelia replied: I don’t know how to express my feelings now. You and I were working in the same


    company, and I had no idea.]


    Skyler replied: [The Hartley Group has so many employees, and as the CEO’s assistant, you’re always


    running around busy with the CEO. It’s normal you didn’t


    notice me


    Comelia replied: || need to have a serious talk with you. You were so close to me, why didn’t you ever


    come find me? Don’t you miss me at all?]


    Skyler responded [Who said I don’t miss you? I miss you a lot, but I didn’t dare to see you. I could only


    sneak peeks at you at work. Once, someone thought I was looking at Marcus and that I had a crush on


    him]


    Cornelia replied If you want to see me, you can have your fill tomorrow night. It’ste tonight, go to


    bed.]


    Skyler responded: [Alright]
