Chapter 240
âThey all have their own lives, nobody owes anyone anything. The ones truly getting screwed over are you and B You two are ther flesh and blood, but they never took care of you As for your father, he sure does heck of a job taking care of his bastard son
After hearing Granny Luisaâs words, any last shed of respect Marcus had for that couple was gone
The guy had a girl he liked before they got married if he wanted to be with her he should ve ditched the mariage alliance and not enjoyed its perks while chasing after his so called true love
If it was true love, he shouldnât have made her his mistress and kept her hanging around for years
The dude is nothing but a spineless wimp, always blaming others for his screwâups.
Marcus scoffed saying âGranny Brt and I are all grown up nowâ
âDoes growing up mean forgetting about the past?â Granny Luisa mentioned their son, her voice filled with helplessness I was worned youâd end up like your parents, thatâs why I wanted you to marry a gift from ar ordinary family hoped you would have a simple, happy lifeâ
Marcus understood Grannyâs intentions, it was also why he agreed to get married I know, Grannyâ
Marcus was nothing like his father, which relieved Granny Luisa âMarc, I told you all this to let you know that thereâs no fixed pattern to marriage. Every couple has their own way of getting along As long as you genuinely want to be with Comelia and treat her well, shell feel your sincerity, got it?â
Marcus nodded, âI got itâ
Ainght then letâs have dinner After dinner, head back to Riverton and spend more time with Nelly Donât leave her alone at home if you two can patch things up before the New Year, itâll be a livet) celebrationâ
Marcus said. âGranny, Cornelia doesnât know Im Jeremyâ
Granny Luisa was surprised âWhat do you mean?â
He continued, âYou should know i got a new assistant when I came back
He had mentioned it before, and Granny Luisa remembered, âUhâhuh, I knowâ
Marcus awkwardly adjusted his glasses and said, âCornelia is my new assistant. We met in the company after we got our marriage certificate, but neither of us knew each other. I planned to pick her up, but i mistook her friend for her, which led to a series of misunderstandings. Not until we decided to divorce and I saw her at the city hall did I realized made a huge mistakeâ
Granny Luisa understood what he meant but it was so absurd she could hardly believe it: âWait, youâre saying Cornelia is your new assistant, and she doesnât even know her boss is her husband?â
Marcus nodded Ive gotten myself into a dead end I canât tell her Im her husbandâ
Granny Luisa asked, âWhy didnât you reveal your identity the moment you realized she was your wife?â
Marcus confessed, âBecause I kept pushing her to divorce when she needed help the most. She has a terrible impression of Jeremy, so I didnât have the guts to tell her that I am Jeremy.â
Granny Luisa immediately realized the seriousness of the situation âSilly boy, not revealing your identity at the right time makes it look like you have ulterior motives. If I were Nelly. Iâd definitely think you were just trying to see if I was after your money
