Chapter 1037
Comelia sprawled on the couch, absolutely knackered and unwilling to move a muscle, “I don’t wanna get up”
“Well, if you don’t feel like it, just chill out.” Marcus propped a cush ion behind Cornelia, then turned to fetch some
tea, spooning it to her mouth considerately, “Have a sip.” After sipping it, Cornelia looked up at him, “How did you
know hot tea would make my period more bearable? Did you used to make tea for other girls?”
Marcus stared at her, stating in all seriousness, “You’re the only one. There’s never been anyone else.”
Cornelia knew he’d never had anyone else, she was just messing with him. Seeing him so serious, she dropped the

her into his arms, and gently massaged her abdomen with his strong hand.
His touch was so light, it tickled and Cornelia squirmed a bit, “That tickles!”
Marcus asked, “So, should I stop?”
Even if he stopped moving, his warmth was still being steadily transferred to Cornelia through his strong hand, it felt
so cozy.
She didn’t know whether it was the hot tea or his warm hand that did the trick, but in no time, Cornelia’s abdomen
felt remarkably better, “I don’t feel so bad anymore.” Marcus suggested, “Rest a while longer, you should be fine.
Then you can take a shower.”
Cornelia leaned into him, “Jeremy.”
Marcus asked, “What is it?”
Cornelia spoke, “Will you always be with me? Can we really stay together forever? I’m scared that this is all a
mirage, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope with being alone.” She used to suffer through her periods alone. Now
with Marcus by her side, his care and warmth were a comforting presence. But Cornelia had her fears. She’d
gotten used to his care. If one day he left her or stopped caring for her, she wasn’t sure if she could cope.
Marcus reassured her, “As long as we want to stay together, we definitely can.”
Cornelia muttered, “Who knows.”
Marcus asked, “Why the sudden pessimism?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia explained, “It’s not pessimism. It’s because of what happened to Mr. Augustine.”
Marcus reminded her, “Everyone has a different fate!”
But Cornelia, as if not hearing Marcus’ words, continued on her own, “He loved his wife so much, but she and their
child left this world too early, leaving him to live alone. The decades following their departure were pure agony for
him.”
Comelia was overly concerned about Mr. Augustine’s situation, and Marcus didn’t want her to worry too much,
“Let’s change the subject.”
But Cornelia wanted a clear answer, she wanted to fully understand the situation, “Do you really know nothing
about what happened to Mr. Augustine’s wife?”
Marcus replied, “I know a bit, but not in detail, and I can’t be sure if it’s true.”
