Chapter 1031 Marcus went, “You absolutely can’t bring this up in front of him.” Cornelia asked, “So, all those rumors are true then?” Marcus said, “He really loved his wife and kids. After they died, he was in a world of pain for a long while before he could start moving on. He’s been living alone all these years. Lots of people tried to persuade him to remarry, have another kid to inherit his fortune, but he never budged. He never considered remarrying or having kids again. I remember him saying once that he only ever loved that one woman in his life, and that there’s no more room in his heart for anyone else.” Hearing this, Cornelia felt a pang in her heart, “How did his wife and child die?” Marcus replied, “I’m not sure about the details. He never talks about his sad past, and I never asked.” Cornelia then said, “Jeremy, if something happens to me, don’t be a fool. Life’s long. You gotta find someone who cares about you to share it with you! Marcus’ face darkened instantly, “Don’t talk nonsense!” novelbin
Comelia sighed, “Why does fate have to torture such a loyal and good-hearted person like this? Why doesn’t fate torture those fickle jerks instead?” Marcus said, “Rest for a bit now. We might get home late tonight.” “Okay.” After agreeing, Cornelia leaned back into the chair and fell asleep quickly. Marcus glanced at Cornelia, his eyes full of tenderness behind his silver glasses, his love for her not hidden at all. About half an hour later, the car arrived at its destination. Cornelia was still asleep when the car stopped. Not wanting to wake her, Marcus sent a message: [You guys have some coffee and wait for me. It might be a while before I get there.] Old Mr. Abner replied quickly: [As long as you bring Nelly to see us, we won’t mind no matter how late it is.] Marcus chuckled: [She’s more important to you than I am now, isn’t she?] Old Mr. Abner replied: [If Mr. Augustine didn’t want to see your wife, we would’ve come to Riverton
quietly and left quietly, without contacting you at all.] Marcus was speechless. Sure enough, these two came specifically to meet his wife, Cornelia. Old Mr. Abner sent another message quickly, [Marc, is Nelly reluctant to see me?] Marcus replied: [Of course not. She remembers you all the time. I just told her we were coming to see you, and she was very happy.] Old Mr. Abner replied: [Really?] Marcus replied: [Have I ever lied to you?] Old Mr. Abner replied: [I knew Nelly was a good girl, very likable. Mr. Augustine will like her when he sees her. You must bring Nelly. Let him see with his own eyes h aw likable Nelly is.] When it came to Cornelia, Marcus became much gentler: [She’s been working hard all day today and is now resting in the car. I hope she can sleep a little longer. Once she wakes up, I’ll immediately take her to see you.] “Are we there yet?” Suddenly, Cornelia’s gentle voice sounded in his ear. Marcus turned his head, meeting her sleepy eyes. His heart seemed to be gently touched by something, trembling slightly. Cornelia asked, “Why aren’t you talking?” Marcus suddenly put his hand on Cornelia’s head, pulling her toward him, then deeply kissed her. The kiss lasted a long time. When they finished, Cornelia’s lips were almost swollen. She glared at him, “How am I supposed to meet them like this?”
