Chapter 1462
Maybe because he was sick, or maybe because they had been apart for nearly a year, but Jeremy became super clingy to Cornelia after they reconciled. Wherever Cornelia went, he tagged along.
He didnât socialize, and even if he did venture out, heâd be back in a jiffy. He was like Comeliaâs personal accessory. He barely had any me-time or personal space.
Comelia was worried about him, but Jeremy seemed to dig this kind of lifestyle. He said, âThe time I spend with you is my happiest donât need personal time.â
If he was away from Comelia even for a while, heâd get antsy. He was afraid that everything he had now was just a dream, afraid that he would wake up to find that Comelia and Hope were non-existent. Only when he was sure that they were with him, could he relax
Comelia suggested, âWe can leave Hope with Patricia and Grandma, and I can go with you?â
Jeremyâs eyes lit up. âSure.â
When Steven saw Jeremy and Comelia together, he wasnât surprised. He knew Jeremy couldnât drink, so he prepared freshly squeezed juice for him. âJeremy, this juice is for you. Hope you recover soon so we can have a drink together.
Jeremy, âSure.â
For Comelia, Steven prepared champagne. âCornelia, I know you can hold your liquor, letâs have a few drinksâ
Comelia replied, âIâm still breastfeeding, so I canât drink now. You guys chat. Iâll wait outside.â
Jeremy held Cornelia tight as she was about to leave. âWhere are you going?â
Comelia replied, âRosie is video calling me, and it might take a while. Iâll chat with her outside, not far from you guys. If you call me, I
can hear.â
Jeremy was relieved, âSure.â
Watching Cornelia leave, Jeremy couldnât take his eyes off her. Steven chuckled, âJeremy, are you too dependent on your wife?
Jeremy looked at Steven, simply saying, âI choose to be.â
Steven replied, âWe only meet occasionally and you bring your wife. You know youâre completely under her control, right? You donât have any personal time at all. If this continues, sheâll control you even more.â
Jeremy lifted his juice, took a sip, then slowly said, âDonât rush to judge me. Let me ask you, does your wife remember you?â Hearing this, Steven downed his drink. One glass wasnât enough, he wanted another. Jeremy took his glass, âDrinking wonât solve anything.â
Steven replied, âDrinking doesnât solve anything, but it numbs my nerves, makes me feel better.â
Jeremy asked, âDo you feel the pain now?â
Steven rolled his eyes at him. âIâm not stupid, of course. I know pain. Iâm serious. Donât provoke me.â

Jeremy said, âJust because your ex-wife doesnât recognize you, youâre in such pain. Think about what youâve done to her before, do you know how much pain your ex-wife is in?â
Mentioning the past, Steven felt regret. âI made a mistake.â
Jeremy responded, âJust saying âI made a mistakeâ might not solve the problem, the pain you caused her canât be erased.â
Steven asked, âThen you tell me, what should I do now?â
Steven always felt that his love experience was much richer than Jeremyâs. After all, Jeremy had never been in love before getting married, while he had been married for many years, definitely knowing more about running a marriage than Jeremy.
