Marcus had a super strong aura that scared the living daylights out of people wherever he went. He was so intimidating that no one dared to lie to his face.
How on earth did such a tough guy manage to break hearts with just a WhatsApp message?
Well, it could be her. She always had a soft spot, especially when it came to him being "Jeremy".
Cornelia didn't want to hurt him: [Jeremy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it when I said I wanted a divorce. Just forget I ever said it.]
But Jeremy was hellbent on getting the answer he wanted: [Do you still want me?]
Cornelia texted back quickly: [Yes! You're the only one I want in this life. I don't want anyone else!]
After sending the message, Cornelia dove under her covers, touching her burning cheeks. She must be blushing like crazy.
Then a new message beeped on her phone.
Cornelia opened WhatsApp again and saw Jeremy's message: [For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.]
Jeremy wasn't the best at sweet talk, so it was a big deal that he used this phrase to express his feelings.
Even though she couldn't see his face, Cornelia could imagine how serious he must be.
She didn't text him back, instead, she hugged her phone close to her, right over her heart.
Even without love between them, Cornelia believed that as long as they worked together, they could still make their marriage work.
