Chapter 1196
That night, Cornelia had a rough time sleeping. The moment she shut her eyes, she was off to dreamland and her
dreams were all over the place.
When she woke up in the morning, she found Marcus had already gone to work. And when Marcus got busy days
just flew by
One day, while Cornelia was at home doodling comics, she heard a car pulling up outside. She rushed out to greet
them and was surprised to find not only Marcus, but also Tahlia it had been a while since she last saw Tahlia and she
was pretty stoked, “Tahlia, you’re here.”
Tahlia trotted over to Cornelia, “Hey Nelly, good afternoon.”
Cornelia asked, “How’s work going lately?”
“Goes well” Tahlia replied.

Marcus didn’t even glance at Cornelia. He walked straight into the house, “Show me the plan again.”
“Sure Tahlia let go of Cornelia’s hand Nelly I’ve gotta work with President Hartley first, we can catch up later.”
“Alright, go ahead Cornelia smiled. What would you like to drink? I’ll get it ready”
“I’m good with anything” Tahlia followed Marcus into the study.
Cornelia didn’t continue her drawing instead, she went to the kitchen and prepared two drinks, one coffee, Marcus’
favorite, and one passion fruit lemonade, Tahlia’s favorite The coffee was freshly ground by Cornelia and tailored to
Marcus’ taste. The passion fruit lemonade was freshly squeezed by her. She knew Tahlia liked it sweet, so she added
some honey
Once everything was ready. Cornelia personally delivered the drinks to the study
Even though they were married. Cornelia knew to respect personal space, so she didn’t just walk in Instead, she
knocked on the door and only entered when Marcus said she could
I brought you guys some drinks Cornelia said
But Marcus and Tahlia seemed to not notice Cornelia Marcus was looking at some documents, and Tahlia was
helping him flip through, their faces so close they could feel each other’s breath
Cornelia remembered when she and Marcus were still unaware of each other’s identity, they never got this close at
work. For some reason, Cornelia didn’t really like this. She pushed the coffee next to Marcus Your coffee
Marcus nodded, “Hmm”
Tahlia looked up at Cornelia. Thanks, Nelly”
Then, she went back to working with Mu
Comelia wanted to say something but she didnt want to disturb their work, so she quietly left
Downstairs, Patricia noticed Cornelia’s mood looking upstairs, Nelly what’s wrong?
“Nothing” Cornelia sat back at the bar opened her tablet picked up her stylus, and continued her drawing. Patricia,
President Hartley is still busy, could you prepare some fruits and snacks for them?”

Comelia immersed herself in her drawing
After a while. Patricia, who had just delivered the fruits and snacks, approached Cornelia, “Nelly”
“Hmm?” Cornelia didn’t look up, just replied
Patricia hesitated, then asked. “Arent you worried?”
Cornelia looked up “Worried about what?”
Patricia looked upstairs, “Aren’t you worried that Jeremy might be taken by another woman?”
Cornelia laughed. Im not worried.”
“Are you really not worried?” Patricia asked again
“I trust him, he wont fall for other women.” Comelia replied.
Patricia said “No matter how good Jeremy is, he’s still a man. Men, you know, they can be fickle. Be careful, dont
regret it when he’s taken by someone else”
“If he can be so easily taken by someone else, then he’s not the Jeremy I know What’s the point of wanting him
then?” Comelia said
