Chapter 444
Cornella wasn’t sure what to bring up, so she asked. Is there anything in particular you fancy chatting
about?]
Jeremy answered [Well, the main reason I texted you tonight was to ask if you’re happy with the house
renovations? When are you planning to move in? Just give me a heads up on the date, and I’ll sort out
the moving company for you]
He’d just asked about her house, no sweet nothings, but it still managed to tug at Cornelia’s
heartstrings, It caused her tears to uncontrollably trickle down her cheeks.
Choking back her sobs, Cornelia voiced her deepest feelings, “Jeremy, can you come back to Riverton
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsooner? I really miss you, I can’t wait to see your
Such a shame Jeremy couldn’t hear her.
After crying her heart out and drying her tears, Cornelia replied to his message: [The guy you
recommended. Trent, is top–notch and super responsible. I’m really satisfied with how he did up my
house. It’s gonna take a while before I can move in. I’m planning to move some of the non–essentials
over in the meantime.]
Jeremy replied. [Alright, get your stuff sorted and I’ll get someone over to help with the move ]
Cornelia said [I don’t have much to move. Zack, Abby and I should be able to handle it. And about that
time you heard someone call me ‘baby‘, that was Zack. Zack’s a guy, Abby’s a girl. We’ve known each
other since we were kids, went to college in Riverton together, and decided to stay and build our lives
here after graduation. They’re important to me, people I cherish deeply]
Jeremy replied [if they’re important to you, I’ll treat them right too]
Cornelia knew Jeremy’s feelings for her were more out of a sense of duty as her husband, rather than
love. But she never expected him to extend that to her friends. His words moved her to tears again.
She quickly changed the subject: [You’re getting sweeter by the minute]
Jeremy asked [Am I really that sweet?]
Cornelia answered [We’ll see when we meet, I’ll have a taste and see how sweet you really are]

After sending the message. Cornelia realized she’d been a bit too forward and felt guilty. She quickly
retracted her message, pretending nothing had happened

Lying in bed, her cheeks flushed Cornelia said to Jeremy: [I’m turning in for the night, goodnight!]
Marcus replied: [Goodnight.] He thought about the message Cornelia had retracted, he’d have to make
sure she got a taste. He couldn’t let her down.
Photos of President Hartley and his wife were making the rounds online, it wasn’t just netizens busy
discussing their photos. Behind the scenes, someone was busy too.
After reading the news online, Cameron Reese hesitated before dialing a long–uncontacted number.
He said to the person on the other end of the line, “You must’ve seen the news by now. Marc and his
wife were spotted tonight, their photo was posted online. I’ve sent someone to find the person who took
the photo. Once we find him, we’ll know the identity of Marc’s wife.”
“Hal” A cold, middle–aged male voice laughed over the phone, “No wonder the gap between our two
companies has grown ever since your generation took over. You and Marcus have known each other
since you were kids. Yet after all these years, you still don’t get him?”
