Chapter 201 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Cornelia felt like she was losing her marbles! The images in her mind were getting more and more chaotic. If this carried on, she was definitely not catching any Z’s tonight. What could she do? How could she solve this? What on earth should she do? While tossing and turning in bed, Cornelia finally came up with a solution. She frantically opened her music app on her phone and searched for some calming mantras. But despite the mantras playing for a good while, the unwanted images in her mind didn’t decrease one bit. She was definitely not sleeping tonight. Meanwhile, Marcus couldn’t catch some shut-eye either. After ending his WhatsApp chat with Cornelia, he couldn’t bear to put his phone away. He read through all the messages Cornelia sent him tonight, afraid of missing a single one. The words Cornelia sent seemed to transform into voices. It’s as if she were whispering in his ear. He heard her calling him Jeremy. He heard her saying, “I only have my eyes for my husband.” I I He heard her happily sharing her day with him. For a moment, Marcus wished he could burst out of his room and tell her, “Cornelia, your Jeremy is right here. All you need to do is turn around, and you’ll see him.” Marcus thought he was just daydreaming, but when he came back to reality, he found himself standing at the door.
• He touched his forehead and let out a helpless laugh. What on earth happened to him? How did he become so unlike himself because of a woman? He just couldn’t figure it out. As Cornelia predicted, the first day of the New Year didn’t escape the clutches of work. She and Ben helped Marcus clean up the mess from the explosion. They were busy as bees for two whole days. On the third day, when there was nothing much to do, Cornelia took a day off with Marcus’s permission. She grabbed her passport and hopped on a plane to Nice the next night. After a one and a half hour flight, she arrived in Nice. Skyler was worried about being spotted by Zavier’s people and didn’t dare pick Cornelia up from the airport personally, so he arranged for a driver in advance. Cornelia, not carrying any luggage, hopped in the pick-up car as soon as she got off the plane and headed to a farm in Nice. The car took almost an hour to reach the destination, and Skyler had been waiting there for Cornelia for quite some time. As soon as the car stopped, Skyler ran over and gave Cornelia a big hug, “Cornelia, it’s so good to see you again.” Cornelia hugged Skyler tightly, feeling both joyful and sad, “It is!” Skyler said, “When I decided to leave Rosenberg, I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime. I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon.” Cornelia held Skyler tight, “This proves that we’re meant to be. Skyler, I’m really happy to see you again.”
• Skyler wiped away her tears and looked up at Cornelia, surprised to find Comelia’s eyes red too, “Comelia, what’s up with you?” I’m alright.” Comelia reached out her hand, gently pinching Skyler’s face, “Why don’t I feel pain? Am I dreaming?” Skyler was amused by her, reaching out to pinch Cornelia’s face, “Dork, does it hurt now?” Comelia, “It hurts, so I’m not dreaming today, I really met you.” Ever since Skyler left, Comelia had met Skyler more than once in her dreams. Especially in these past few days, since she learned that Skyler had been under the watch of Zavier, she had been dreaming about Skyler a lot. She dreamed of Skyler being taken back to the Capital by Zavier, covered in blood, Zavier breaking Skyler’s leg and asking her if she would still run away. This morning, Comelia was awakened by this nightmare. “Of course, it’s really mel” Skyler grabbed Comelia, “It’s getting late, let’s get something to eat first, and tomorrow I’ll take you to see the farm where I work.” Cornelia nodded, “Alright.” Skyler led Cornelia towards a two-story wooden cabin ahead, “That little cabin is my home now. It’s not big, but it’s comfy “As long as you feel comfy.” Cornelia understood what Skyler meant by comfy. Skyler lived in the luxurious mansion of the Rivera family in the Capital, with its fancy decorations and ser vants attending to her, she was leading a wealthy life that others envied. But only Skyler herself knew that such a life was like a canary trapped in a cage, with no freedom to speak of.
