Chapter 126 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

Marcus asked, “Aren’t you home yet?” He wasn’t happy and Comelia was a bit on edge, worried that her upcoming holiday might go up in smoke. She wasn’t sure if it was because she hadn’t replied to Jeremy’s WhatsApp, which might have made him worry about her safety She replied, “I’m already home What’s up?” There was a pause on the other end, then Marcus voice came back Thave some personal stuff to deal with in the next few days. You guys can take a break” “You already told me that” The midnight call to tell her about the holiday hinted that the boss was excited about a date with his lady Marcus seemed puzzled “Did 17” “Sorry, I must have remembered wrong” Cornelia responded, reasoning that the boss couldn’t have forgotten, so it must have been her “Well, good night, President Hartley!” She said goodnight and waited for him to hang up He didn’t, and she felt awkward hanging up first “Is there anything else, President Hartley?” Marcus said her name again in his deep, captivating voice. “Cornelia” Why did he and Jeremy like to call her name but say nothing else? Was it a guy thing to seem mysterious? “Yes?” “Nothing get some rest early” He finally hung up After putting down her work phone, she remembered her own. She opened WhatsApp and saw a few unread messages from Jeremy “Are you home yet?” “Why arent you replying?” “Comelia, reply to me” Hmm, he seemed anxious. She replied. “President Hartley treated us to dinner tonight I just got home and took a shower, I didn’t see your messages” Jeremy responded. “Hmm” Hmm? He sent several messages urging her to reply, and when she did, all he said was “Hmm“. Annoyed, Cornelia asked, “Don’t you have anything else to say?” Jeremy replied, “I just wanted to make sure you got home safely” His casual remark meant the world to Cornelia She hadn’t told Granny Rebecca and Abby about the incident that night. She had been dealing with the fear it brought all alone, and only he had been consistently concerned about her. Jeremy. I’m over what happened that night Im not afraid anymore, and you don’t need to worry” She typed a lot, then thought, He’s her husband; what’s wrong with him worrying about her?
