Chapter 377 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

Cornelia said seriously. “You’re as important to me as they are, no one’s better than anyone else. Let’s stop asking these kinds of questions, okay? Look at me, I’m smart, I never ask you who’s more important to you, me or your grandma or Bri.” She didn’t really want an answer, but Marcus gave her one anyway, “I don’t know who’s more important, but I do know I can’t live without you.” Before knowing that Marcus was Jeremy and before realizing that Marcus was her husband, Cornelia had never heard Marcus speak such sweet words. Sometimes, this indirect kind of sweet talk hit her harder than a straight up “I love you.” Cornelia nestled into his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, and whispered, “I get it.” She wanted to drop the subject, fearing if they keep talking about it, he might say something she can’t handle. But Marcus wasn’t done. “You get it? You sure you don’t have anything else to say?” Comelia yawned, “I’m tired, gonna grab some z’s. We can chat when I wake up.” She had a lot to drink with Zack, and once she hit the bed, she was out like a light. Marcus, however, couldn’t sleep a wink. He just watched her; simply staring at her filled his empty heart with warmth. Perhaps due to not getting enough sleep last night or the effects of drinking at noon, Cornelia’s nap turned into a four hour sleep, and she didn’t wake up until 6 pm. When she woke up, Marcus was nowhere to be seen, she thought he had gone home, so she got up and walked out of the bedroom, hair all tousled. She didn’t expect to see him on the phone in the living room, his voice so low she couldn’t hear a thing, but she could tell he wasn’t happy. She wanted to eavesdrop, but right then her phone rang. She hurried back to her room to pick up. It was Ben, who never called her on his day off. Something must’ve happened. As soon as she picked up, Ben sounded anxious, “Cornelia, something has happened, have you heard?” Cornelia instinctively glanced at Marcus through the door, “What happened?” “You haven’t watched the news?” Ben asked. “I just woke up from a nap,” Cornelia said.
