Chapter 1036

He hopped out of the car, striding towards the convenience store without a second thought. Cornelia watched his retreating figure, a surge of warmth flooding her heart. Just as Abigail had said, she must’ve been a saint in her past life to have met Marcus and become his wife in this one. She really owed her past self a big one. If her past self hadn’t racked up some good karma, there was no way she would’ve ever crossed paths with Marcus

Within no time, Cornelia spotted Marcus emerging from the store, lugging a massive bag.

What on earth did he buy so much of? What did he get?

Marcus approached, opening the bag for her to see, “I didn’t realize there were so many brands and types of sanitary pads. I wasn’t sure which you’d need, so I just bought a pack of each type and brand they had.”

Cornelia plucked out her usual brand from the bag, “These are fine. You can return the rest. It’s too much for me to use, and we shouldn’t waste.”

She figured Marcus would find returning them a hassle and suggest throwing them away instead. But he didn’t, obediently taking the bag back to the store for a refund.

Marcus said, “I’ve already had them delivered.”

No sooner than he had finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Marcus collected the groceries‘, advising Cornelia, “Stay put and rest.”

Cornelia responded, “Okay.”

Perhaps it was her cramps, or maybe she was just exhausted, but Cornelia fell asleep almost instantly. She didn’t know how long she had slept, but suddenly she was having a nightmare, being chased by wolves. She tried to run, but her legs were bound. Just as the wolves were about to devour her, Marcus‘ deep voice woke her from the nightmare.

Cornelia jerked awake, throwing her arms around Marcus, “Jeremy.”

Patting her back gently, Marcus asked, “Another nightmare?”

Cornelia nodded, “Yes.”

Marcus reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’m right here.”

Cornelia said, “As long as you’re here, I’m not afraid of anything.”

Taken aback, Marcus replied, “The tea’s ready. Get up and have
