Chapter 723
Cornelia’s panic and worries completely flew over Marcus‘ head.
His main concern was that she might not accept him as her husband, that she might not want to admit he and
Jeremy were the same person.
He never once put himself in her shoes, unaware that she might be even more scared than him about handling
their relationship.
Hearing her say it out loud, Marcus felt a wave of guilt. “Cornelia, I didn’t consider your perspective. I’m really
sorry! Tell me your worries, let’s tackle them together.”
Cornelia said, “Our differences in social status and wealth are too vast. Couples with such huge gaps often seem
unhappy, many ending in divorce.
“I don’t want to experience such a messy marriage. When I found out you were Jeremy, I thought about divorcing
you, thought about backing out. But you gave me courage, made me want to take a step forward, to give it a try.

more, to close the gap in wealth.
“I think if I try hard, maybe I can get a bit closer to you, and we can make this marriage work. What do you think?”
Her bright eyes, soft voice, they were like poison, seeping into his heart, making him deeply addicted, unable to pull
away.
“Yes. Trust me, if we work together, we can definitely make this marriage work.” He cradled her blushing face,
leaning down to kiss her soft lips.
Her lips were incredibly soft, so sweet, an experience he was deeply relishing.
If he’d known how wonderful kissing her was, he wouldn’t have waited this long, he would’ve done it the moment
he found out she was his wife.
Kissing her sweet lips, their noses touching, inhaling her unique scent, he was about to deepen the kiss, when she
suddenly bit him hard with her small teeth.
The pain surprised him. In the next instant, she pushed him away, backing off two steps, her cheeks flushing red as
she glared at him.
“I’ve already told you, you’ve made my lips swell from all the kissing. I don’t want you to kiss me anymore, what if
Abby sees my swollen lips tomorrow? She’ll nag me non–stop. You have no idea how much she can blabber. Once
she starts, she can go on for hours. I don’t want to suffer like that.”
“Cornelia, next time I kiss you, don’t mention anyone else.” He forcefully grabbed the back of her head, pulling her
towards him, kissing her sweet lips once again.

She responded, “Hmmm… President Hartley?”
She was puzzled at how he could call her name in such an attractive manner, as if there was no better sound in the
world.
“Sweetheart, don’t call me President Hartley, call me hubby.”
This deep, suggestive voice instantly pulled Cornelia back from her daze. Only then did she realize, she was in bed,
with him on top, staring at her like a predator.
This man used to be her superior, and now suddenly became her husband. She couldn’t immediately adjust to the
change in roles, always feeling a sense of unease when with him.
In his unguarded moment, she tried to escape his hold, but the next second she was pulled back into his arms, his
deep voice sounding again in her ear, “Enough kissing, time to sleep!”
Enough kissing, time to sleep.
She wasn’t scared, just worried that he might feel awkward.
