Chapter 112
âYouâre totally right. I didnt take good care of her before and let her suffer a lot I swear wonât make that mistake again Marcus said, then turned to Cornelia and apologized
His eyes were deep and hazy, and Cornelia quessed he might be drunk. The apology was probably meant for his wife
Cornelia wanted to tell him not to blame himself too much. They just needed to live a good life together in the future
But she wasnt his wife, and she hadnât experienced what his wife had gone through She didnât know what had happened between the couple and wasnât qualified to give advice
She remained silent, and Marcus chuckled and raised his glass for another drink.
Old Mr. Abner said âMarc, you two seem a bit awkward. Did you guys have a fight before coming to see me?â
Cornelia shuddered when she heard this, but Marcus responded quickly, âYeah, we had a fight. If it werenât for your sake, she probably wouldnât even want to talk to me todayâ
Old Mr. Abner nodded knowingly. Tcould tell by the way you held hands that you had a fight. But thereâs no couple who doesnât fight. When my wife and I first got married, we often fought because of our different personalities Once, I even made her cry Seeing her tears, I felt so bad that I swore never to make her sad again and to make her happy for the rest of her life I also promised never to leave her, but sadly, she left me first.
Thinking of his late wife, tears welled up in Old Mr. Abnerâs eyes. Donât think that youâre young and have a lifetime ahead Life is short, and before you know it, decades have passed Cherish every day you have togetherâ
Marcus nodded, âI willâ
Cornelia also nodded, suddenly thinking of her nominal husband, Jeremy.
Their marriage seemed like it never happened She hadnât thought much about him before he appeared, and getting the marriage certificate felt like it just happened yesterday.
However, upon calculation, it had been a year and seven months since she and Jeremy got their marriage certificate. How many years and seven months can one have in a lifetime?
When she returned to Riverton, she must talk to Jeremy about their marriage and not divorce impulsively or refuse to divorce out of spite.
With that thought, Cornelia took out her private phone and sent a text to Jeremy,â âLetâs meet and have a good talkâ
As her message was sent, Marcusâ phone beeped.
Old Mr. Abner laughed. âYou two are sitting together, and youâre still texting each other. Is there anything I, an old man, canât hear?â
Cornelia hurriedly said, âNo, Iâm not texting him, Iâm texting my friend.â
Marcus slowly took out his private phone, and indeed, it was a message from Cornella. She wanted to talk, but about what?
His slender fingers tapped quickly, typing a few words: âWhat do you want to talk about?â
Cornelia replied âAbout our marriage. Whether we divorce or not, we need to meet and talk it through, and we shouldnât waste each otherâs youth,â
Marcus read the message, typed a few words, and then deleted them one by one. It wasnât time to reveal his identity yet.
He put some food on her plate. âEat your meal and donât play with your phone.â
Since the boss had spoken, Cornelia, who hadnât received a reply from Jeremy, had no choice but to put away her phone. But she still couldnât help but wonder if Jeremyâs lack of response meant he was avoiding something.
By the time they finished eating and the driver took them back to Sunset Bay Resort, it was already dinner time.
