Chapter 696
She lowered her head, murmuring, “It’s different.”
Marcus asked, “What’s different?”
Cornelia didn’t answer. Was he genuinely confused, or was he just messing with her?
Marcus pressed, “Hmm?”
Because his voice was so deep and pleasing, even the shortest sentence could make Cornelia blush, “I like you in a different way than I like my grandma.”
Marcus got it, but he just wanted to tease her, wanted to hear her say it out loud, “So you do like me a bit now?”
This question was a bit difficult for Cornelia to answer, as she was unsure herself, “I’m not sure yet.”
Marcus raised an eyebrow slightly, “Not sure?”
Cornelia obediently nodded, “But what I am sure of is that you are Jeremy, my husband. The only person I’ll like is you.”
It was her sense of responsibility towards their marriage. Both of them wanted to devote themselves to this marriage. Whether she loved him or not was not something she was considering at the moment.
Marcus thought the same way, but now he had other thoughts. He hoped that she did like him a bit.
Not just because of responsibility.
Cornelia continued, “You may not know, but I’ve liked grandma for a long time. Even if we didn’t have this’relationship, I would still like her.”
Marcus asked, “Since when?”
Cornelia replied, “When I first came to Riverton for college. I was new to Riverton then, and I didn’t know it at all. Your grandma came to school to see me on behalf of my grandma. At that time, I don’t think either of them had thought about matchmaking. Your grandma was already very nice to me; she brought me many daily necessities and lots of snacks.”
Hearing Cornelia say this, Marcus seemed to think of something, “Maybe the grandmas had already thought of matchmaking then.”
Cornelia shook her head, “I don’t think so, your grandma never mentioned you to me.”
The grandmas didn’t mention this to Cornelia because she was just starting college and she was still young.
Thinking back, Marcus felt that Grandma had thought of matching him with Cornelia back then..
He hadn’t thought about it before, nor did he have any impression of it. But after bringing it up, he suddenly remembered a specific.
incident.
A few years ago, he had just returned from a business trip and heard that his grandma was seriously ill. He was asked to rush back to the Hartley Mansion.
When he saw his grandma lying in bed, looking very unwell, and still thinking about delivering something to a friend’s granddaughter, he said, “Grandma, just stay at home and get well. The butler can deliver it.”
