She lowered her head, murmuring, “It’s different.”
Marcus asked, “What’s different?”
Cornelia didn’t answer. Was he genuinely confused, or was he just messing with her?
Marcus pressed, “Hmm?”
Because his voice was so deep and pleasing, even the shortest sentence could make Cornelia blush, “I like you in a
different way than I like my grandma.”
Marcus got it, but he just wanted to tease her, wanted to hear her say it out loud, “So you do like me a bit now?”
This question was a bit difficult for Cornelia to answer, as she was unsure herself, “I’m not sure yet.”
Marcus raised an eyebrow slightly, “Not sure?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornelia obediently nodded, “But what I am sure of is that you are Jeremy, my husband. The only person I’ll like is
you.”
It was her sense of responsibility towards their marriage. Both of them wanted to devote themselves to this
marriage. Whether she loved him or not was not something she was considering at the moment.
Marcus thought the same way, but now he had other thoughts. He hoped that she did like him a bit.
Not just because of responsibility.
Cornelia continued, “You may not know, but I’ve liked grandma for a long time. Even if we didn’t have
this’relationship, I would still like her.”
Marcus asked, “Since when?”
Cornelia replied, “When I first came to Riverton for college. I was new to Riverton then, and I didn’t know it at all.
Your grandma came to school to see me on behalf of my grandma. At that time, I don’t think either of them had
thought about matchmaking. Your grandma was already very nice to me; she brought me many daily necessities
and lots of snacks.”
Hearing Cornelia say this, Marcus seemed to think of something, “Maybe the grandmas had already thought of
matchmaking then.”
Cornelia shook her head, “I don’t think so, your grandma never mentioned you to me.”
The grandmas didn’t mention this to Cornelia because she was just starting college and she was still young.
Thinking back, Marcus felt that Grandma had thought of matching him with Cornelia back then..
He hadn’t thought about it before, nor did he have any impression of it. But after bringing it up, he suddenly
remembered a specific.

A few years ago, he had just returned from a business trip and heard that his grandma was seriously ill. He was

When he saw his grandma lying in bed, looking very unwell, and still thinking about delivering something to a
friend’s granddaughter, he said, “Grandma, just stay at home and get well. The butler can deliver it.”
While holding her head and moaning weakly, his grandma said, “This thing is very important. It must be delivered
by me or my closest
person.”
At that time, he didn’t think much, only concerned about his grandma’s health. “If you trust me, then I’ll deliver
this.”
Grandma tried to get up, “You have so much work to do, how can I bother you with such a small matter. Let me get
up. My illness is not that serious yet. I can still deliver it.”
How could he let her get out of bed under such circumstances? He asked her to lie back in bed, “Grandma, you rest
well, I will personally deliver it. No matter how busy I am, I will make time.”
The old lady said, “Alright then, you can deliver it for me if it’s not too much. I’ve already sent the girl’s contact
information to your phone. You must find her and personally hand over the item to her.”
