Cornelia's anger and resentment were instantly washed away by Jeremy's blunt response. She understood that every man would probably respond this way when being questioned by their wife. But she couldn't explain why she believed Jeremy.
As long as he said he didn't have another woman, she would trust him.
Even though her doubts were gone, Cornelia still wanted to tease him a bit: [You're out working all the time, how would I know you're not playing me?]
After sending the message, Cornelia waited for a while before finally getting a response from Jeremy: [Cornelia, what do I need to do for you to believe me?]
Cornelia only wanted to joke around with him, she didn't expect him to take it so seriously. It made her feel like a big bad wolf and she felt rather uneasy: [I believe you.]
Jeremy replied: [Thank you.]
And that was the end of their chat for the day.
Cornelia wanted to continue chatting with him, so she tried to come up with some topics: [I'm on my way to Southern Peak, will be there soon. Do you have any messages for grandma?]
Jeremy replied: [No.]"
Cornelia was speechless.
