Chapter 212 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Comelia was plastered against the door, holding her breath and listening to the sounds outside. She faintly heard Marcus’s footsteps going upstairs. He probably went straight to the third floor, without stopping on the second He wouldn’t give her any trouble, would he? Comelia wasn’t sure. She stuck to the door and listened for a good while. Not hearing any unusual sounds, she finally relaxed. She clutched her chest and returned to the bed, immediately picking up her phone. So much time had passed, and Jeremy still hadn’t replied to her messages. She thought he must be busy working and didn’t have time for her, so she quickly typed a string of words: [Jeremy, can you not tell Marcus everything between us? Why do you even have to tell him about our past misunderstandings and how I can’t remember what you look like? I know you guys are tight and you totally trust your buddy, but I think there should be some personal space, you know? Don’t just lay everything out there for people to judge.] Comelia wanted to tell Jeremy straight up, that his trusted friend had been badmouthing him to his wife. But thinking of Marcus kindness to her, she decided not to write him off just because of one mistake. She sent the long message. This time Jeremy replied quickly: [Cornelia, I’ll be back in Riverton soon. Let’s meet up.] Comelia wanted to see him as soon as possible, but she didn’t want him to dodge her questions: [Did you read what I just typed? Read it, then talk to me.] Jeremy: [I can’t guarantee that.] Comelia: What do you mean you can’t guarantee? Is it that hard for you not to tell him about us?] Jeremy: [Even if I don’t tell him, he’ll know.]
• Cornelia immediately thought of a possibility: [Is he spying on you? Why would he spy on you? Do you owe him a lot of money? How much do you owe him? If possible, let’s figure out a way to pay him back together.] Jeremy: [I don’t owe him money.] Cornelia: [Then what do you owe him? Why does he monitor your every move? You need to tell me what’s going on.] Jeremy: [He’s not spying on me.] Cornelia: [Then why would he know about us even if you don’t tell him? Do you two have some kind of psychic connection or something?] Jeremy: [Cornelia.] He called her name, and Cornelia immediately responded: [Hmm?] He said again: [Let’s not talk about him right now. When the time is right, I’ll tell you everything. I really want to see you now, let’s meet up.]
• Jeremy wasn’t willing to explain to her for a reason. Cornelia was okay waiting until he was ready to talk: [When are you coming back to Riverton?] Jeremy: [Not sure about the exact date, but it should be in the next few days.] Cornelia: [My boss and I just got back to Riverton and our schedule is packed. We’re busy till late night every day, so I might not have time to see you these days. He doesn’t have anything planned next weekend, so I should be free. If you are in Riverton then, shall we meet up next weekend?] Jeremy answered: [Sure!] Cornelia added: (Jeremy, I have something to tell you.] Jeremy: [Go ahead.] [The future life is to be spent with you, your parents‘ infidelity is their issue. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you are faithful to our marriage, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you.] After typing these words, Cornelia felt something was off. Jeremy didn’t know that she knew about his parents, bringing it up would only make him feel awkward. So, she deleted some words: [Jeremy, I just want to tell you, as long as you are faithful to our marriage. No matter what happens in the future, I am willing to stick with you.] No matter what happened in the future, she was willing to stick with him. Seeing this sentence, Marcus remembered what she said to him not long ago, “Don’t be afraid, you have me.” She always touched his soft spot with a tender and firm approach, as if infusing warmth into his heart. She was making him feel a warmth he never had before, and letting him know that not everything has to be borne by him alone. There was someone willing to face the storm with him. Marcus slowly raised his hand to cover his chest, he could feel his heart beating fast at this moment, as if it was about to jump out of his mouth. He had never experienced such a feeling, he was a bit panicked at first.
