Abigail and Zack, who have known Cornelia since they were kids, understood her concerns like the
back of their hands.
Cornelia chuckled, “Abby, Zack, don’t worry about me. I’m not the fragile Cornelia I used to be. I know
what I’m doing. Jeremy is my lawfully wedded husband and I’m his wife. He treats me well, and I want
to reciprocate. I’ve made up my mind. When we meet, I will tell him about that incident. If he can’t
accept my past and doesn’t want to be with me, I will respect his decision.”
Zack backed Cornelia, “No matter what, Cornelia, take care of yourself. Don’t let anyone who doesn’t
deserve you hurt you.”
Abigail chimed in, “And remember, Cornelia, you always have us.”
“I know.” Cornelia replied.

Cornelia put her phone down and lay on her bed, unable to sleep.
She knew what Zack and Abigail were worried about. Because of that incident, she had lost trust in
men.
She never voiced it, but she was wary of men, especially those smooth talkers. She felt like nothing
they said was sincere.
As time went by, she met more people, saw more of the world, and understood more. Gradually, she
stopped caring about that man from her past.
Zack was absolutely right. Don’t let anyone who doesn’t deserve you hurt you.
That man was just a blip in her life. They knew each other for less than a year and spent little time
together, so why should she let such a minor person change her view of other men?
As Cornelia was reminiscing, her phone vibrated with a new WhatsApp message.
It was a message from Jeremy, “Are you asleep?”
“I’m thinking and can’t sleep.” Cornelia replied.
“What about?” Jeremy asked.
Cornelia typed out a long response, wanting to tell him about that incident, but then deleted it all.
She figured it was better to tell him face-to-face to see his immediate reaction. If he couldn’t accept her
past, she wouldn’t force him to be with her.
So she replied, “I got a decent year-end bonus, and our manager even gave us a gift card tonight.”
“Is that why you can’t sleep?” Jeremy replied.
“Yeah, I’m thrilled. This isn’t just a salary; it’s a gift card, like a surprise from heaven.”
Fresh out of the shower and only wrapped in a towel, Marcus read the message from Cornelia and
seriously considered something. If a gift card could make Cornelia this happy, he should keep giving
her gift cards to make her happy every day.

“Just got out of the shower, looking for my pajamas.”
This meant he might be naked while chatting with her.
In Cornelia’s vague memory, Jeremy had a great body.
A tempting image of long legs, tan skin, and defined abs involuntarily popped into her head.
The image was too provocative. Cornelia immediately shook her head, trying to shake the image out of
her mind, but she couldn’t control her thoughts, and more and more images filled her mind.
She must have been influenced by Abigail’s constant jokes, so she had so many thoughts from just one
casual sentence from Jeremy. Ah, she couldn’t think about it anymore, or she might get a nosebleed.
Cornelia hid under the covers and nervously typed, “I’m going to sleep, goodnight!”
“Goodnight!” Replied Jeremy.
Even though the message was text, Cornelia felt like she could hear Jeremy’s magnetic, sensual, and
intoxicating voice like aged wine.
