Chapter 218
Comelia said, “I’m not quick to trust people, but once I choose to, I go all in. I fully trust every word you
say now, I hope you can prove you’re worth it.”
Marcus felt a bit awkward after reading this. When he found out she was his legal wife, he didn’t
immediately tell her who he was. It was like he’d planted a ticking time bomb for their relationship.
Now that she’s starting to like this “Jeremy” persona, if he tells her now that Jeremy and Marcus are
same person, she might not be
able to take it.
After thinking for a bit, he replied, ‘As long as you trust me, I genuinely want to live a happy life with
you.”

Jeremy replied, “good night.”
Sure enough, the next moming Cornelia received the loan notice from the bank.
The sales department also informed them that they could come in on a workday to handle the
paperwork.
With things being a bit slow at the company recently, Cornelia decided to ask Marcus for a half day off,
“President Hartley, I’d like to take a half day this afternoon.”
Marcus asked, “What’s up?”
Cornelia answered, “The loan for my house has been approved, I want to get a jump on the
paperwork.”
Marcus glanced at his watch, “I was planning to do the same, want to go together?”
Cornelia didn’t object, “Sure.”
Marcus didn’t call his driver, so by default, Cornelia became his chauffeur.
In the car, Marcus casually asked, “How do you like driving this car?”
Cornelia answered, “Pretty good.”
That ended the conversation. Marcus didn’t know what else to talk about, so they drove in silence.
As they were nearing the sales office, Cornelia asked a question she’d been meaning to, “President
Hartley, you already have so many properties, why would you want to buy here?”
Marcus chuckled, giving her an answer she didn’t see coming, “Because my wife likes this complex.”
Cornelia asked, “Have you and your wife made up?”
“Yeah, we’ve been getting along pretty well.” Cornelia being willing to give Jeremy a chance, to chat
with him, even bought him a pair of sneakers, it was a sign of their improving relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis morning, he’d jogged happily around the villa in the shoes she’d given him, even thought about
wearing them to work.
Hearing that they’d made up, Cornelia was genuinely happy for them, “President Hartley, congrats!”
Marcus smiled but didn’t say anything.
Cornelia parked the car and they walked towards the sales office. To avoid any misunderstanding,
Cornelia stopped at the entrance, “President Hartley, you go ahead, I have to wait for my friends and
the designer.”
Marcus nodded, walked a bit, then turned back to ask, “Did you get a professional to inspect the
house?”
This was Cornelia’s first time buying a house, she wasn’t clear on a lot of the details, “What’s that?”
Marcus knew she was clueless about this, so he’d made arrangements in advance, “The houses in this
complex are all fully furnished, the wiring, plumbing and stuff need to be checked. It’s a bit complex,
I’ve already got someone on it, I’ll have him come over later to inspect your house too.”
