But Jeremy hadn’t sent a single message I was like when they first got married, he suddenly appeared and then vanished from her life just as abruptly as if his existence before was just an illusion She gave a bitter smile Maybe they weren’t meant to be after al As Comelia was lost in her thoughts. Briana came running over with a few books, sat down next to her. “Hey Comelia, I got some good reads here, wanna check them out? Comelis looked up and saw the rare edition book she had seen in Marcus’s study She wasnt in the mood for reading, but the book piqued her interest. “Can Hook at this on “Sure thing Brians passed the rare edition book to Comelia Wat her brother nome kind of psychic? How did he know Comelit would be interested in this book?
• Engrossed in he reading under the sun, Comelia didn’t even notice when Marcus came into the sunroom As she read, she jotted notes in her phone. There were some sentences she didn’t quite understand, so she searched them up online But this being a rare edition, she couldn’t find anything online. She just copied the sentences down, planning to look them up in the library some other day Ding imassage popped up on Briana’s phone, who was engrossed in her comic book. It was from Marcus. He was sitting right here, why was he messaging her on WhatsApp” Looking closer, it was an annotation Then another message from Marcus (Forward this to Cornelia | Briana didn’t get his intention but she did as asked anyway After the message was sent Cornelia’s phone on the table buzzed twice. She picked it up immediately but when she saw the new message wasn’t from Jeremy a flicker of disappointment crossed her bright es Why did Jeremy always disappear without a trace whenever she was ready to settle down with him? He used to text her every day saying he wanted to five a good life with her Was living a good life so busy he (couldn’t even spare a moment to send her a WhatsApp message? If Jeremy really wanted to be with her, he’d make time for her no matter how busy he was with work He mentioned a few days ago that hed be back on the 11th When she asked if he could meet up on that day, he didn’t give a straight answer And tomorrow was the 11th Would Jeremy come back to Riverton? Would he text her? Comelia flipped to her chat with Jeremy, wanting to ask if he would be back tomorrow. She typed out the message, but deleted it letter by letter. She absolutely couldn’t be the first to reach out this time!
• Making up her mind. Comelia finally opened the new message she just received. When she saw that the message was an explanation of a sentence she didn’t understand, she looked up at Briana with a surprised expression “Br you’re amazing“” Briana glanced at Marcus subconsciously and caught his hint She had to take the credit. “I just happened to have read this book” “Can you explain the meaning of this sentence? Comelia leaned closer to Briana, pointing at the sentence she didn’t quite understand “I don’t really get it.” Brana scratched her head nervously. However, she was quick to respond, “When I was reading this book, my brother tutored me. He’s very familiar with it. Maybe he can explain it to you?” President Hartley? Cornelia shook her head, “I don’t think so.” Comelia thought that Marcus, as the head of the Hartley Group, wouldn’t explain ancient text for an assistant. If she shamelessly asked him for help and he ignored her, wouldn’t she lose face? “What’s wrong?” Marcus’s sudden question startled Cornelia. She turned around to see him sitting nearby, flipping through a history book that Cornelia was fond of Comelia laughed awkwardly “President Hartley, I didn’t see you there” Marcus looked at her “You didn’t know I was here?” Cornelia said. “Tim sorry I was so absorbed in my book, and I didn’t notice” Marcuss expression turned sour, and he turned to Briana, “You’ve forgotten everything I taught you?” When had he ever taught her? She was just making things up, he couldn’t possibly believe he had taught her, right? Marcus stared at Briana, speaking sternly. “Tell me, what did you forget?” Briana had never read the book. “Marcus, I’ve actually never..” Before she could finish, she saw Marcus’s serious gaze and quickly corrected herself. Tve forgotten everything you taught me” Marcus, said, ‘Sit up straight, I’ll teach you again”
