Chapter 213
A single message cleared all Marcusâs worries and a strange Joy surged in his heart.
Cornelia bought him a gift, indicating that his recent efforts were not in vain. She must have felt his determination to spend the rest of his life with her.
He quickly typed a message. Where are you? Iâll come to pick it up right awayâ
Just as he was about to send it, Marcus remembered that Jeremy was not in Riverton at the moment and couldnât meet Cornelia for now
He deleted the text and typed again, âHow about waiting till I get back to Riverton and you give it to me in person?â
After a while, Cornelia replied, âAh, okay then
Her reply reeked of disappointment Marcus didnât want her to be disappointed, so he said, âIf itâs not too much trouble, you can send it to my house. Il wear it as soon as I get backâ
He then sent an address, which was a house he bought under Jeremyâs name but never lived in himself.
The house was moderately priced and Cornelia wouldnât suspect his identity because of it
Cornelia was surprised for a few seconds when she saw the address Marcus sent
She wanted to buy a property in this development, but had to give up because she didnât have enough money just after graduation.
The environment was average, but there were good schools nearby, so the house prices were very high.
The current resale price in this community is very high, far exceeding the value of the house itself.
It seems Jeremy has a long term vision. This kind of house is convenient for kids to go to school if you live in it, and if you donât live in it, you can make a lot of money by selling it.
Cornelia called a courier and sent it directly from the mall
After sending the courier, Cornelia messaged Jeremy. âItâs a pair of shoes I donât know if youâll like them.â
Jeremy replied. âAs long as itâs from you, Iâll love it.â
This sudden confession made Cornelia blush. You really know how to woo a girl! Do you do this with all girls?â
Jeremy replied, âI only like the things you give me.â
Marcus was telling the truth He had never made an effort to please any girl before and didnât know how to talk to women to please them. He just wanted to be nice to ner instinctively. But Cornelia thought he was too good at talking with girls
If a man is so good at making girls happy, he must have had a lot of girlfriends.
Because of this thought, Cornelia suddenly felt a gloom, âIâm going home first.â
âOkay âMarcus didnât notice the change in Corneliaâs mood and sent her a last message before rushing to get the shoes
This was the first gift his wife had given him and no matter the value, he wanted to get it immediately.
Just as the car arrived, Cornelia returned to the neighborhood and parked the car in the underground garage. Just as she parked the car, a familiar car drove past her. Cornelia immediately honked the carâs horn
The driver, Zack, glanced sideways but didnât respond.
He didnât respond, but the other party didnât stop and kept honking
