Chapter 1052
Because Marcus started acting weird after he bumped into Brennen. Cornelia was dying to know what Brennen had
said to him that day, but no matter how hard she probed, Marcus wouldn’t spill the beans.
Cornelia reached out, gently touching his flawless face, “We’re married, remember? We promised to tackle
everything together. Why won’t you tell me what’s going
on?”
Just as Comelia was getting all confused, her phone buzzed twice, alerting her to a new message. Picking up her
phone, Cornelia discovered a text from an unknown number: [Cornelia, it’s me, Skyler“]
She had just mentioned Skyler, and now she got a message from her!
Cornelia quickly texted back [Skyler, how’s life treating you?]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkyler replied [Why aren’t you asking where I am?]
Cornelia texted back: [I’m scared my phone’s been tapped by Zavier again, so I didn’t dare ask ]
Skyler responded: [He could’ve tapped your phone once, but there’s no way he could do it a second time. Your
husband Marcus would protect you]
Cornelia replied [Can you tell me where you are then? I’m tom. I want to know where you are, but I’m afraid to
know]
Skyler replied: [I’m in Riverton. If you’re free tomorrow, we can have dinner together]
She was in Riverton! This news made Comelia both happy and terrified: [Skyler, when did you come back? How
come you dared to come to Riverton, aren’t you scared of Zavier finding you? Or do you just not care anymore?]
Skyler responded. [I’ve actually always been in Riverton]
Cornelia couldn’t believe her eyes: [You’ve been in Riverton all this time? Since when?
Skyler replied: [Ever since we split up in France, your husband Marcus helped me get back to Riverton. He said the
most dangerous place is the safest. Sure enough, Zavier searched everywhere but Riverton.]
Comelia had to admire Marcus: [Marcus is really something. He thinks of everything]
Skyler texted [Cornelia, congrats!]
Cornelia replied: [Congrats for what all of a sudden?]
Skyler responded: [I just found out your husband is Marcus. Congrats for scoring such a gentle, considerate
husband who respects you]
Cornelia replied, [I didn’t mean to keep it from you guys, I didn’t know he was my husband before.]
Skyler responded: I know. I never blamed you for keeping it from me.]
Cornelia texted. [Skyler, where have you been in Riverton these past few months?]
Skyler replied: [The Hartley Group]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia texted [What did you just say?]
Skyler responded: [I got a job at the Hartley Group’s finance department based on my own skills. I’ve been working
there for several months. Because I spend more time with data than with coworkers, our chances of running into
each other are even slimmer]
Cornelia replied: I don’t know how to express my feelings now. You and I were working in the same company, and I
had no idea.]
Skyler replied: [The Hartley Group has so many employees, and as the CEO’s assistant, you’re always running
around busy with the CEO. It’s normal you didn’t
notice me
Comelia replied: || need to have a serious talk with you. You were so close to me, why didn’t you ever come find
me? Don’t you miss me at all?]
Skyler responded [Who said I don’t miss you? I miss you a lot, but I didn’t dare to see you. I could only sneak peeks
at you at work. Once, someone thought I was looking at Marcus and that I had a crush on him]
Cornelia replied If you want to see me, you can have your fill tomorrow night. It’s late tonight, go to bed.]
Skyler responded: [Alright]
