Chapter 591
Marcus had a super strong aura that scared the living daylights out of people wherever he went. He was so
intimidating that no one dared to lie to his face.
How on earth did such a tough guy manage to break hearts with just a WhatsApp message?
Well, it could be her. She always had a soft spot, especially when it came to him being “Jeremy“.
Cornelia didn’t want to hurt him: Jeremy, I’m sorry I didn’t mean it when I said I wanted a divorce. Just forget I ever
said it ]
But Jeremy was hellbent on getting the answer he wanted [Do you still want me?]
Cornelia texted back quickly [Yes! You’re the only one I want in this life. I don’t want anyone else!

crazy.
Then a new message beeped on her phone.
Cornelia opened WhatsApp again and saw Jeremy’s message: [For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, ‘til
death do us part]
Jeremy wasn’t the best at sweet talk, so it was a big deal that he used this phrase to express his feelings.
Even though she couldn’t see his face, Cornelia could imagine how serious he must be
She didn’t text him back, instead, she hugged her phone close to her, right over her heart.
Even without love between them, Cornelia believed that as long as they worked together, they could still make their
marriage work.
Cornelia spent three and a half days at Celestial Chateau. By the fourth day, Marcus was feeling much better and
didn’t need any more drips.
He preferred to be in his study during his drips. While he was on the drip. Cornelia would be reading in the same
room. They didn’t interact, but it felt cozy
So when Dr. Lester came in to remove Marcus‘ needle, his shiny bald head seemed like a bright third wheel.
After removing the needle and tidying up the used drip. Dr. Lester shook Cornelia’s hand. “Thank you so much for
these three days!”
Without Cornelia, Dr. Lester was sure Marcus wouldn’t have accepted the drip peacefully, let alone rested at home,
so he considered Cornelia the hero of the day.
Marcus watched coldly as Dr. Lester shook Cornelia’s hand. ‘Dr. Lester, you can leave now”

He had never even held Cornelia’s hand like that, so why the hell should this old man?
Dr. Lester was smart enough to get the warning in Marcus‘ eyes.
He quickly let go of her hand. “The next two weeks are crucial for Marc’s recovery. He needs your careful attention.
Alcohol is a no–no, not even a drop.”
Cornelia nodded, “Don’t worry, Dr. Lester. I’ll take good care of him.”
“He’s in your hands then Dr. Lester said.
Cornelia gave an awkward smile, but didn’t reply
After Dr. Lester left, Cornelia said to Marcus, “President Hartley it’s Granger’s 60th birthday today. He is Cameron’s
father. The Reese family has sent you an invitation. Are you planning to attend in person?”
Even though the Reese family was no longer as influential as the Hartley family, it was still one of the most
prestigious families in Riverton, Cameron and Marcus were childhood friends after all.
By all accounts, Marcus should be attending this birthday party.
