Chapter 1443
Comeba. (Dr Lester, I owe you one!]
Dr Lester, (Weâre pals, no need for thanks]
Comelia, (Iâm thinking of whipping up some grub tonight Fancy joining me for dintier?)
Dr. Lester, I donât plan on being a third wheel.]
Ever since Cornelia and Jeremy patched things up, Jeremyâs health hadnât been kept under wraps from her. So, she and Dr. Lester often needed to talk about Jeremyâs condition. Whatever medical tests Jeremy needed, Dr. Lester always gave Cornelia the heads up. It was more efficient than dealing directly with Jeremy.
Dr. Lester, [Marc needs a fullâbody checkâup tomorrow afternoon. This checkâup is critical. You gotta be there with him.]
Cornelia, [What kind of checkâup?]
Dr. Lester, (Iâll fill you in on the details tomorrow. For now, just know that this checkâup is super important. You absolutely canât miss it.] Cornelia, [Alright
She sensed some unease in Dr. Lesterâs words but didnât press him further. No matter how tough the road ahead, she was sticking with Jeremy.
After sending the message, she pocketed her phone. Looking up, she saw that Jeremy was wearing a sour expression. Cornelia smiled at him. âWhatâs up?â
Jeremy, âYouâve been ignoring me for five minutes. Five whole minutes.â
Cornelia was amused by his petulance, and it instantly lifted her spirits, âIâm sorry, honey. Can you forgive me?â
Jeremy, âWell, since you apologized right away, I guess I can let it slide.â
Cornelia again draped her arm over his left, even though he still couldnât feel it. But she believed he could feel her presence. âItâs still early. Letâs hit the supermarket. Iâm thinking of making dinner tonight.â
âOkay. Jeremy reached up, lightly pinching her bun. He seemed to be unable to let it go. When she first started working for him, all he wanted to do was touch her bun. But since he didnât know she was his wife then, he could only long for her in his heart. Now, he could openly touch her bun.
Comelia, âCan you stop messing with my bun? If you keep this up, my hairâs gonna get all messy.â
Jeremy, âIf it gets messy, Iâll help you comb it.â
Cornelia, âAlright. You need to master the technique. From now on, my bun is your responsibility.â Jeremy, âOkay.â
Cornelia, âThink about what you want to eat.â
Jeremy, âAs long as Iâm eating with you, Iâm good.â
When she first started working for him, he was a very picky eater. He didnât eat this, and he didnât eat that, which made her job really difficult. But now, to get along better with her, he had changed his eating habits.
Sometimes, Comelia thought that if it were her, she would never be able to do what Jeremy did. His care for her went beyond the little things in life. It was so much more.
Cornelia smiled at him. âOkay.â
After crossing the road and walking a few hundred meters along the riverside park, they could see a large supermarket. They also lived in this area, so it was super convenient for them to buy ingredients.
Cornelia rented the house. She thought Jeremy was broke, so she only told him after she had rented the place.
Jeremy told her not to worry about money, and that he had enough funds, but she didnât believe him. So, he didnât say much more. When they got back to Riverton, he took her to see the place in person. Then she would know that her man was not as incapable as she imagined.
Even though the Hartley Group was no more, he had the ability to build a business empire even stronger than the Hartley Group.
