"Tell me, Cornelia, who's more important to you? Me or our son?"
Jeremy had been pushing Cornelia to her limits, and now she was too turned on to even speak. She mumbled a vague, "Hmm..."
Jeremy, not satisfied with her response, persisted, "Cornelia, tell me, who is more important to you, me or our son?"
He was relentless, tormenting her until she finally snapped, "Our son."
His reaction to her honest reply was swift and severe. Like a wild beast, he roared and raged, as if he wanted to rip her apart. "Cornelia, think carefully before you answer. Who's more important to you, me, or our son?" Jeremy took a step back, pretending to leave.
Cornelia, too weak to stand, slid down the wall, collapsing onto the floor. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Jeremy reached out, pulling her back into his arms. "Have you thought it through?"d2
However, Cornelia wasn’t going to be swayed easily. She bit her lip and ignored him. After another round of back-and-forth, Jeremy finally relented. He grabbed a towel, dried her off, and carried her into the bedroom.
As soon as she hit the bed, Cornelia buried herself under the covers. She was too drained to even utter a word. Jeremy crawled into bed beside her, pulling her into his arms. "Cornelia, you haven't answered my question yet."
How stubborn could this man be? Had he eaten something wrong today? Cornelia decided to ignore him. After all, he had used such a despicable tactic to threaten her.
Jeremy kissed her forehead, whispering, "Honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn't have threatened you."
Cornelia-could never be too harsh when it came to Jeremy, but she wasn’t about to let him off the hook. After all, if she did, he would continue to bully her in the future.
