Chapter 669
Comelia replied, “He’s not only my boyfriend, he’s my hubby”
Taylor asked in surprise, “You’re married? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know a thing about it? You’re
still pretty young, aren’t you? Why’d you get hitched so early?”
Cornelia responded, “Yesterday just happened to be our second wedding anniversary Didn’t I tell you I was
married?”
Taylor exclaimed, “Two years already? That long? You’re not even twenty–five yet, so two years ago you were just
twenty–three. So, you got married right after you graduated from college?
Cornelia nodded, “Yeah, something like that.”
Taylor asked, “Is this guy a college buddy or a coworker?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornelia and Taylor had known each other for years. Besides Zack and Abigail, Cornelia didn’t have many friends.
In college, they often did part–time jobs together. Cornelia trusted Taylor like an older brother.
She didn’t hide anything from him, “He’s neither a college buddy nor a coworker We met through a blind date. He’s
the grandson of my grandma’s friend and both elders wanted us to be together, so we did
Before Cornelia could finish, Taylor shook his head impatiently. “What era are we living in? Why listen to the old
folks? Cornelia, you’re a talented graduate from the University of Riverton. Why didn’t you put up a fight? Marriage
is a big deal. It’s the next few decades of your life. Why didn’t you give it some serious thought?”
Cornelia responded, “Anyway, marriage is just two people living together. What does it matter how we met?”
When Marcus, who was standing next to Cornelia, heard this, he frowned slightly. He married Cornelia with this
mindset initially, so why did he feel so uncomfortable now upon hearing that Cornelia still held the same thoughts?
Taylor asked, “Is that what you think? So, you’re not in love with your husband? Can you tell me what he looks like?
How old is he?”
Cornelia dodged the love question. I think my husband is quite handsome.
Not just handsome, but very, very handsome.
Cornelia didn’t voice her true thoughts, fearing they’d make Taylor self–conscious.
Taylor said, “That’s because you haven’t seen the fish in the sea. To you, the fish in your tank is the best.”
Cornelia fell silent.
Taylor continued, “We’ve known each other for so long. After seeing a man as handsome and rich as me, how could
you settle for an average guy?”
This was actually true. After seeing a top–tier man like Marcus, no other man could be considered handsome in
Cornelia’s eyes.
Taylor urged. ‘Speak up”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia responded, “Do you have some misunderstanding about being handsome and rich?”
If they were talking about being handsome and rich, who could outdo her man? Just comparing looks, Taylor was
not bad. But when compared to Marcus, his looks fell short
Taylor, who had some feelings for Cornelia, felt a bit sad hearing the news of her marriage, “Why couldn’t you wait
for me for two years?”
Cornelia, a forthright woman, completely failed to catch Taylor’s hint, “Why should I wait for you for two years?”
Taylor said, “Because.”
A sudden fake cough interrupted Taylor’s words
Marcus, clutching his chest, coughed harder and harder. This cough was obviously fake, so fake that Taylor on the
other end of the phone could tell, but Cornelia didn’t.
“Taylor, my husband is not feeling well right now, let’s talk some other time” Cornelia quickly hung up and rushed
over to Marcus, flinging her arms around him in a tight
hug
