Chapter 1378

Although Cornelia didn’t mind whether the kid took the dad’s or mom’s surname, Jeremy’s actions made her feel over the moon. If every hubby out there could be as considerate as he was, taking care of his wife’s needs, the divorce rates would certainly plummet.

She smiled at him, “Alright, then our Hope will be named Hope Stewart.”

Jeremy replied. “Good. You just went through a C-section, and you need to rest well for a quick recovery. Close your eyes and nap a bit.”

Cornelia shook her head. “I’m not sleepy.”

Actually, she was tired, but she didn’t dare to fall asleep. She was scared that when she woke up, he would be gone and this was just a dream. So she kept finding topics to chat with him, “When the Hartley Group had issues back then, there were a lot of rumors about you. Why didn’t you clarify them?”

Jeremy replied, “Because the rumors were true. Marcus Hartley is gone.”

Cornelia cut him off. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

He added, “What I meant by ‘gone’ is that he has cancelled his identity, and you can’t find this person in the world anymore.”

Hearing this, Cornelia’s heart ached. He must have thought his condition was so severe that he wouldn’t make it; that was why he made such a decision, “So do you still want that identity?”

Jeremy took her hand, brought it to his lips, gave it a peck and said. “I don’t like the identity Marcus. I’ve wanted to get rid of it for a long time, and now I finally did.”

He chuckled, “From now on, there’s only Jeremy in this world, the Jeremy that truly belongs to Cornelia.”

From childhood. Jeremy had a deep dislike for the surname of Hartley, because it was inherited from that scum Brennen. He hated Brennen, and that surname. That was why he deliberately spread the news that Marcus was gone and had his identity cancelled at the police station. From now on, he only had one identity.

His surname was the same as his grandma’s. The name Jeremy Artis was given by his grandma, and it’s the name he uses in his life, so he registered his marriage with Cornelia under the name Jeremy.

He was even more grateful that he registered his marriage with Cornelia as Jeremy. From now on, he was only Jeremy, Cornelia’s Jeremy.

Suddenly Cornelia said, “Hold me.”

Jeremy was taken aback, “Huh?”

Cornelia spread her arms, “Hold me. I want you to hold me. Hold me now.”

Jeremy immediately leaned over and wrapped his free right arm around Cornelia.

Cornelia held him tightly, burying her face in his chest, sniffing the familiar scent unique to him, and said, “Jeremy.”

Jeremy answered, “Hmm?”

Cornelia said, “Jeremy, Jeremy.”

She called his name but didn’t say anything else, making Jeremy very nervous, “Are you feeling unwell? Shall I call the doctor?”

Cornelia said, “I’m not unwell, I just want to say your name, to confirm that you are really here with me. I need you to hold me tight, then I can truly feel your heartbeat, and know that you are here with me.”

Jeremy slightly increased his grip on Cornelia, but didn’t say anything.

Then, Cornelia’s voice rang out again next to his ear, “Jeremy, you probably don’t know how deep my feelings for you are.”
