Chapter 1485
Despite saying she’d ignore him, Comelia found herself sneaking glances at Jeremy. Catching her gaze, Jeremy took her hand. “Are you gonna start paying attention to me?”
“I can’t bear to ignore you.” Cornelia confessed.
Her words were like the sweetest candy, striking right at Jeremy’s heart. Being cherished and valued… it felt nice. He chuckled. “Thank you!”
“Why thank you? You’re my husband, and I’m your wife,” said Cornelia.
Jeremy didn’t respond verbally, and just held her hand a little tighter, their mutual affection palpable.
After a two-hour flight, their plane landed smoothly at Riverton International Airport. Emerging from the VIP exit, Cornelia was considering how to hail a taxi when she saw a familiar row of luxury cars.e
Not just one, but a whole lineup. A sight to behold.
But what truly surprised Cornelia was the driver of the leading car- her long-lost colleague Ben, unchanged and hair slicked back as ever.
Grinning, he led a group of men towards them. “Welcome back to Riverton, Granny Luisa, Mr. Artis, Cornelia, Patricia, and Hope.”
A bunch of men in suits, what a show! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Earlier, Jeremy had instructed Ben to introduce his wife to the entire company in a grand fashion. And thus, this spectacle.
Wasn’t it grand enough?
Cornelia told him, “Let’s get a move on! The sooner, the better!”
Ben looked at Jeremy. “Do you not like it?” Jeremy asked Cornelia.
“It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s just that we should keep a low profile. Look at all those people taking pictures with their phones. I worry we might end up in tomorrow’s headlines.”
Jeremy waved his hand, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only two cars waiting for them. Grinning, Granny Luisa asked, “Jeremy, did you arrange all this?”
Jeremy didn’t answer, and Ben quickly jumped in, “Granny Luisa, this was all my doing.”
Granny Luisa understood and didn’t out him. She just said, “Jeremy, you need to take Cornelia somewhere. Hope will stay with Patricia and me.”
Cornelia was worried. “Granny, I’m not sure how long I’ll be gone. I’m afraid Hope will miss us if we’re away for too long.”
“Don’t worry. Patricia and I have been looking after him for a while now. A few more hours won’t make a difference,” reassured the old woman.
Handing Hope to Patricia, Jeremy told Ayden, “Go home with Granny.”
“Alright,” Ayden agreed.
After seeing Granny Luisa and the others off, Cornelia and Jeremy hopped back into Ben’s car. As Ben drove, he kept sneaking glances at Jeremy and Cornelia through the rearview mirror, a smile plastered on his face. “Mr. Artis, are we heading to the company?”
Jeremy nodded. “Yep.”
Cornelia curiously asked, “What company?”
Holding her hand tightly, Jeremy replied, “Our company.”
“Our company?” Cornelia repeated.
“You don’t need to know right now. You’ll understand soon,” Jeremy assured.
