Chapter 214 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• He said, “You’re one of a kind. What’s the point of comparing yourself with others?” His response made her happy, she thought she was special in his eyes. So she gathered her courage and confessed to him, “Marc, I like you. Will you be with me?” Her heart was pounding, but he didn’t even look up, “I’m still young, not planning to date. If you want to try out dating, go find someone else. Steven’s a good choice. He doesn’t have a girlfriend. You can ask him if he wants to be with you.” His words hurt more than a direct rejection, but she wouldn’t give up, “But I like you, I only want to be with you. I hope you can be my boyfriend.” He said, “I have no feelings for you.” She expected this answer, but when she heard it from his mouth, her heart went cold, as if the world collapsed in that moment. She sat dejectedly in the seat in front of him, almost screaming at him, “If you don’t like me, can you tell me what kind of girl you do like? What type of girl can catch your attention?” Finally, he looked up, his cold gaze fell on her. Perhaps it was the first time he saw her so emotional. He frowned, and his tone turned cold, “Are you still Sallie?” He meant that she was acting like those crazy girls chasing him, which was annoying. She struggled to control her emotions, “Then can you tell me, what kind of girl would you like?”
• He said, “I will never fall for any girl in my life.” He was so certain that she believed him, until he came to her, saying he wanted to give a dress to his wife. Now, even though she decided not to worry about a man who didn’t love her, thinking of his indifference on the day she confessed still hurt. Sallie smiled, “Marc, considering you rarely fall for a girl, I’ll help you one more time. I’m sure you’re in love with Cornelia, otherwise you wouldn’t care so much whether she accepts you.” Marcus said, “Comelia is my wife. I should love her, and I can only love her.” For twenty–eight years, he never liked a girl. He didn’t know what it felt like to like a girl. But he didn’t mind liking Cornelia, because she was his wife. Sallie understood him and didn’t argue. One day he would understand his feelings, and she also hoped that he could be happy. She said, “Okay, let’s not talk about your feelings for Cornelia now. Why are you calling me so late, what’s up?” Marcus brought up his concern again, “I plan to reveal my real identity to her, but I’m worried she can’t accept that Jeremy is Marcus. I feel she doesn’t like Marcus.” Sallie snapped her fingers, “Marc, I have a way to help you test Cornelia’s real feelings for Marcus. Only by understanding Cornelia’s true feelings about your identity as Marcus, can you make better decisions.” Marcus asked, “What’s the method?” Sallie replied, “You sleep with me.” Marcus got serious and said in a low voice, “I’m not a fan of this kind of joke.”
• Sallie laughed and replied, “Of course, I don’t really want you to do anything, just to make Cornelia misunderstand what’s happening between us. If she gets jealous and upset, then it proves she has feelings for you. But if she doesn’t react, then all I can do is wish you two can develop feelings for each other.” “I’m against using a method that could potentially hurt Cornelia to test her feelings for me, Marcus stated. Even if Cornelia didn’t accept him, as her legal husband, he would never do anything that could hurt her. Sallie knew Marcus was a principled man, and any persuasion would be useless, “Alright, pretend I never said anything. But I really don’t know what else I could do to help you.” Marcus said. “I’m hanging up now.” After hanging up, he scrolled through the contacts on his phone. His work phone was full of business associates, and his private phone had almost no reliable contacts. He stared at it for several minutes, but didn’t make a single call. He took out his personal phone again, pondered for a while, and then sent Cornelia a message: [Cornelia, if I’m not what you hoped for, would you leave me?] Cornelia didn’t see Jeremy’s message until the next morning. The phrase “leave me” pierced her heart. It was often said that a happy childhood could heal a lifetime of wounds, but an unhappy one took a lifetime to heal. Jeremy’s painful childhood must have left deep scars, which was why he was so afraid of being abandoned. Cornelia quickly replied:
