So, he was just messing around with her.
Jeremy, "Cornelia."
Cornelia, "Hmm?"
Jeremy, "Can we consider not getting divorced?"
Before last night, Cornelia was dead set on divorcing Jeremy.
But last night, she was in a jam and Jeremy came to her rescue. At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security, as if no one could hurt her as long as he was there.
From that moment on, her determination to divorce began to waver.
She had hastily married Jeremy and they hadn't lived together after the wedding. He mistakenly thought she was having an affair and wanted a divorce, but he was totally off-base.
Put herself in his shoes, if she suspected Jeremy of cheating, she would definitely propose a divorce too.
Having figured this out, Cornelia replied, "It's not impossible, but let's talk about it when we meet."
Seeing this message from Cornelia, Marcus's clouded face suddenly cleared up. Cornelia's attitude towards Jeremy was changing, so he should be able to tell her soon that Jeremy and Marcus were the same person.
He texted her back with a smile, "Once I've sorted out my business affairs, I'll come see you. In the meantime, I hope we can text each other every day."
Cornelia replied, "Okay." As no more messages came in, she stared at their chat window for a long time.
It wasn't until the taxi driver told her they had arrived at FurniMart that she put her phone away.
By the time she arrived, Abigail had already reached the second-floor sofa area, "Smelly Nelly, I've been shopping alone for an hour, and you're just showing up. How are you going to make it up to me?"
Cornelia chuckled, "How about I get you a couch set?"
Abigail, "Then it's a deal, no regrets!"
Cornelia generously said, "Pick whichever you want today, and it's yours."
Abigail, "I’ll pick the most expensive one and see if it doesn't break your heart."
