Chapter 196
Before last night, Cornelia was dead set on divorcing Jeremy.
But last night, she was in a jam and Jeremy came to her rescue. At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security, as if no one could hurt her as long as he was there.
From that moment on, her determination to divorce began to waver.
She had hastily married Jeremy and they hadnât lived together after the wedding. He mistakenly thought she was having an affair and wanted a divorce, but he was totally off base.
Put herself in his shoes, if she suspected Jeremy of cheating, she would definitely propose a divorce too.
Having figured this out, Cornelia replied. âItâs not impossible, but letâs talk about it when we meet.â
Seeing this message from Cornelia, Marcusâs clouded face suddenly cleared up. Corneliaâs attitude towards Jeremy was changing, so he should be able to tell her soon that Jeremy and Marcus were the same person.
He texted her back with a smile, âOnce Iâve sorted out my business affairs, Iâll come see you In the meantime, I hope we can text each other every day.â
Cornelia replied, âOkay âAs no more messages came in, she stared at their chat window for a long time.
It wasnât until the taxi driver told her they had arrived at FurniMart that she put her phone away.
By the time she arrived, Abigail had already reached the second floor sofa area, âSmelly Nelly, Iâve been shopping alone for an hour, and youâre just showing up. How are you going to make it up to me?â
Cornelia chuckled, âHow about I get you a couch set?â
Abigail, Then its a deal, no regrets!â
Cornelia generously said, âPick whichever you want today, and itâs yours.â
Abigail, Tll pick the most expensive one and see if it doesnât break your heart.â
Cornelia, Ive got plenty of money
Abigail knew how much money Cornelia had left after paying the down payment on her house. âYo yo yo, is your stingy husband actually a big shot whoâs secretly given you a lot of money to spend?â
Cornelia huffed, â1d be grateful if he didnât ask me to help him pay off his debts. I wouldnât dare to expect him to give me money to spend.â
Abigail looked at Cornelia in surprise, âSomethingâs off! Nelly, thereâs something going on!â
Cornelia, âWhatâs the problem?â
Abigail leaned in. âYour eyes sparkle when you mention your husband. Did something happen between you guys that I donât know about?â
Was she that obvious?
Cornelia immediately took out her phone and took a selfie. Abigail wasnât lying, her eyes were sparkling.
Sigh, she couldnât hide any good mood from Abigail, âJeremy asked me if we can consider not getting divorced, and I agreed to think about it.â
Abigail poked her forehead, âNelly, you canât go soft. You canât be fooled by a manâs sweet talk.â
Cornelia, âDonât worry, I have my own measure.â
âNo matter what decision you make, Iâll support you âCornelia was already an adult and mature in her thinking Abigail was willing to support all her decisions, but she was still worried. Cornelia hugged Abigail, âI havenât made a decision yet, letâs not talk about this for now, letâs go look at furniture.â
FurniMart was the largest comprehensive furniture mall in Riverton, offering everything from hard furnishings to soft furnishings
The entire second floor was a sofa area, with hundreds of sofa brands, both mid range and high end, offering a wide variety of choices.
After browsing many brands, Cornelia took a particular liking to a brand of solid wood fabric sofas
The floor of her new home was wooden, so she wanted a sofa with a solid wood frame to match the style of her home
Cornelia preferred a natural wood style of decoration. It might not look very upscale, but it was very cozy.
She believed that home should be a âcozyâ place
