Chapter 202
Jeremy stashed his bank card in his marriage certificate but then lost it, so now he had no clue where
his card was
Even though they were married, he and Cornelia weren’t living together and Cornelia didn’t want any
favors from him
She told him, “Keep your money to yourself, dont even think about spending it on me. I can earn my
own money. In my opinion, a healthy marriage isn’t about one person being the breadwinner, but the
two of us working together to better our lives. If one of us loses their job, the other should be able to
hold the fort.”
Jeremy replied. “Yeah, I’m with you on that”
Cornelia said, “11l hold onto this necklace for now, and give it back when we meet.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy asked, “Why?”
Cornelia said, “We’re not back together, so don’t think you can buy your way out of the doghouse with
gifts. Anyway, I’m off to grab a bite with friends”
After reading Cornelia’s final message, Marcus called Leonardo and said, “Who said you can smooth
things over with gifts?”
Leonardo innocently replied. “My method always worked before I didn’t expect it to flop with you”
After the holiday, Cornelia and Marcus headed to Marshland Haven for a field trip on their first day back
at work.
They were joined by the CEO of Silver Edge Co, Mr. King, who’s in his fifties and always hand in hand
with his wife, Mrs. King.
They originally planned to walk around Marshland Haven, but Mr. King suggested they take the
sightseeing car considering his wife is in heels.
Cornelia, also in heels and with her feet blistering after half an hour of walking, was happy to take the
car.
The sightseeing car could hold seven people, excluding the driver. The person in charge of the area sat
next to the driver. Mr. King’s secretary was in the second row, Mr. and Mrs. King w in the third row,
Marcus was alone in the fourth row, and Cornelia and Ben were in the last row.
As they tour, the person in charge gave them a detailed introduction to Marshland Haven, and Cornelia
and Ben took diligent notes.
By the time they finished their tour, it was lunchtime
Cornelia had arranged for lunch at a nice restaurant in the area, but they had to walk about a hundred
meters along a cobblestone path to get there.
Mr. King, fearing his wife would twist her ankle, carried her on his back to avoid the cobblestones.
Even Marcus, usually indifferent to others‘ marriages, couldn’t help but notice, “Mr. King, you love your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwife so much.”
Mr. King, carrying his wife effortlessly as though he did it all the time, said, “When I was younger, I was
all about work and often overlooked her feelings. We had a lot of fights and were close to divorcing.
Luckily, we communicated, understood each other’s thoughts, and resolved our issues.”
Excited, Marcus asked, “Can you teach me how to communicate effectively with your wife?”
Mr. King glanced at his wife on his back, his eyes softening, and said, “If there’s a problem, don’t hide
it, put it out there. Also, solve today’s problems today, don’t put them off till tomorrow No matter how
heated the argument, never say things that hurt each other, never attack each other’s weaknesses”
Thanks for the advice, Marcus said, nodding his head in agreement.
Mr. King then asked, “You announced your marriage status a while ago, and everyone’s been guessing
who your wife is. Can you tell us about her?”
