Chapter 383
Marcus gave her a nod, sensing her apparent nerves, and turned to walk towards the hall However,
she called him back asking if he needed more time to think about it
He turned around and saw a certain confusion in Cornelia’s eyes So he asked her, “Got cold feet or
something?”
If she didn’t want to marry him or wanted to postpone the wedding he was willing to respect her
decision
She was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, “Let’s go.”
There weren’t many people registering for marriage that day, so they were able to complete the

to have a meal after the registration, sit down and talk, get to know each other, and discuss their future
plans for their marriage But because he had to rush to the States to handle some business, he had to
change his plans.
He handed her a bank card that he had prepared in advance, loaded with ten million, and told her that
she could use the money at will. Then he hightailed out of there to the airport.
He left in a rush, not even looking back to see her expression and not knowing what she was thinking
at the time. Maybe she was very disappointed with her new husband
On the way to the airport, his grandmother called “Marc, Ive prepared a lot of good food. After you and
Nelly get your certificate, bring her home for dinner”
He replied, “Granny, I’m on my way to the airport.”
His grandmother immediately raised her voice when she heard this. “You say what now?”
He knew it was wrong to just drop his newlywed wife like this, but with the pressing business at hand,
he chose what seemed more important at the time. “There’s some important stuff i need to take care of
in the States. Once I’m done…”
But before he could finish, his grandmother started yelling at him, her voice practically piercing his
eardrums. “Tell me, did you two get your certificate yet?”
He replied. “We did”
Upon hearing this, his grandmother scolded him even more angrily “Jeremy, now that you’re married,
you just up and leave your wife like this? Are you even human? If you’re going to the States, can’t you

If he took her to the States, it would mean completely severing her original life and work and making
her his appendage. He thought that was too cruel. Marriage shouldn’t be like this “Granny, she should
have her own life and work; she can’t just do whatever I say because we’re married.”
But his grandma barely listened to his explanation, she kept scolding him on the other end of the line
“You jerk, how can you do this? How am I supposed to explain this to Nelly and her grandma? Listen
here, you better wrap up your stuff in the States pronto and come back to bring Nelly home. Nelly is a
good girl and you’re lucky to have her. Treasure ner If you pull something like your good–for–nothing
father, I’m disowning you”
Under such circumstances, he had no desire to discuss that man “Please don’t lump me together with
him, we’re two different people. Once I’m back in Hong Kong, I’ll pick up Nelly”
Little did he know that his promise would take a year
Not only did he neglect to contact her due to his busy work schedule, but he also didn’t give her the
attention she deserved, otherwise, he would’ve found the time to call
