Chapter 971
Cornelia asked curiously, âCan novelty be created too?â
âAbsolutely! The old granny replied while looking at Marcus, âBoy, your wife is so beautiful, I bet many men are into her. You should cherish her and know how to create romance for her. Otherwise, if sheâs taken away by someone else, youâll just be left cryingâ
âIâm his wife, I wonât be taken away by anyone else.â Cornelia responded.
The old granny lightly tapped Corneliaâs forehead with a hint of disappointment, âItâs good that you know all this, but donât let him know, or else he wonât cherish you as much.â
âHeâs not like that.â Cornelia replied.
The old granny went silent for a while. She found Cornelia a bit stubborn and turned her gaze back to Marcus, âBoy, you heard that, right? Your wife is so good to you, so trusting, you should be worthy of her trust. Donât think that just because youâve married such a beautiful woman, she canât leave you and take everything for granted.
âAnd you, young lady, shouldnât be too concerned about your husband spending money. Even for something as small as buying flowers, youâre trying to save for him. You donât want him to spend his money on other women in the future, do you? Youâre so beautiful, he hit the jackpot by marrying you. You donât need to save money for him.â
It was the afternoon, and the flowers in the old grannyâs cart werenât as fresh anymore. But because her words made sense, Marcus picked a relatively fresh bouquet of roses and handed them to Cornelia, âIâll remember your words.â
The old granny laughed heartily, âBoy, you know how to love your wife. Your wife is so good, and she deserves your best. You should spend your life with her. Iâm always selling flowers around here. Please continue to support my business.â
âSure.â Marcus replied.
âGoodbye!â Cornelia said.
Just as Cornelia and Marcus left and turned a corner, they were stopped by an old man with gray hair.
âDo you need something?â Cornelia asked.
âFirst of all, I want to thank you for buying flowers from my wife! You can keep the flowers, and I can give you back the money you paid for them.â He said. âWe paid for the flowers. You donât need to refund us.â Cornelia replied.
âI want to give you back the money, hoping that you will support my wifeâs business more in the future. Iâm not asking you to spend money. You can keep the flowers, and Iâll refund you the money. The old man explained.
âWhy are you doing this? Are you and your wife playing some kind of interesting game?â Cornelia asked curiously.
The old man sighed, âOur children passed away early, and itâs just the two of us left. We have enough pension for our retirement, but my wife insists on selling flowers. At first, I thought she wanted to earn some money, but then I realized that she enjoys talking to young people and giving them life advice. Iâm very grateful that you two listened to her for so long.â
âSheâs very likable.â Cornelia said.
âYes, sheâs always been very likable, whether when she was young or now at this age.â The old man replied.
Despite being in their seventies, his eyes still radiated with love when he talked about her.
At that moment, Cornelia suddenly believed in the existence of true love in this world.
âYou donât need to give me the money back. We just moved here and will probably stay for a long time. Iâll support her business when I have time.â Cornelia said.
âThank you! You two are really nice people!â The old man replied.
Cornelia smiled and said, âGoodbye!â
âGoodbye!â The old man replied.
Back in their neighborhood, Cornelia looked up at Marcus, opened her mouth to say something, but didnât.
Marcus chuckled, âAre you envious of their relationship?â
Cornelia nodded, âYes 1 am. Can we be like them, still together even when weâre old?â
Marcus stopped looked into Corneliaâs eyes, and said, âOf course!â
