Watching the father and son lock eyes, neither willing to back down, Cornelia couldn't help but laugh, "Jeremy, you're all grown up, why are you still competing with little Hope?"
Jeremy said, "Even though he's just been born, I feel like he's special."
Cornelia chuckled, "That's because he has a super cool dad like you. With a dad this cool, our son has to be special."
Women always liked to dress up, and men equally enjoyed being complimented by their beloved women, especially receiving praise from the woman they loved. Jeremy's heart was filled with joy. "You really think I'm cool?"
Upon hearing this, Cornelia dramatically widened her eyes. "Are you kidding me? In my eyes, my husband is the coolest guy in the world, no one can top him."
After being injured by Acidbane, Jeremy's health wasn't what it used to be, especially with the wounds on his chest and his nearly crippled arm. The constant reminders of his injuries had made him feel somewhat insecure. "Do you still think that way now?"
"I thought that way in the past, I think that way now, and I'll continue to think that way in the future." Cornelia looped her arm through his and yelled out loud, "My husband is the coolest in my heart!"
Since it was evening, the riverside park was filled with people out for a stroll, all of whom were drawn to Cornelia's shout. The closest to them was an elderly couple, their hair gray, but still holding hands, clearly deep in love.
Cornelia smiled at them. "Ma'am, sir, would you mind being my witnesses?"
With such a pretty and sweet-talking girl, who could resist? The elderly couple walked towards them hand in hand. "What would you like us to witness?"
Cornelia said, "My husband is jealous of our son."
The old woman laughed. "That's normal. I remember when I had my first son, my husband was so jealous. He said I only had room for our son in my heart, not him."
