Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1141

But he never anticipated that the casual observation he started with would soon turn into a growing fascination. By the time he realized he was too close to Cornelia, his lips had already made the first move before his mind could catch up.

Cornelia was surprised for a moment. Then she blushed and closed her eyes, not showing any signs of rejection.

On their first night together, Omar had to prepare himself mentally. He kept telling himself that he didn't need to take responsibility for her. After all, a woman living under these circumstances must have slept with countless men just to survive.

But the moment he entered her, she cried out in pain.

Omar froze, looking at her in disbelief.

The first words she uttered were, “Omar, you'll marry me someday, right?”

Of course, he wouldn't marry her. He frequented her house mostly to have some fun, to vent out his dark emotions, and to see how this family struggled to survive.

How could he possibly marry her? Yet, her eyes bore the same stubbornness as they did when her fingers were brutally mutilated.

He remained silent. She clung onto his neck.

“Say something. Will you marry me?”

“Cornelia, I'm broke.”

His voice went hoarse as he continued to kiss her neck.

“I don't need money. I just want your love. We can deliver pizzas together. As long as we work hard, we can have a good life.”

Omar had seen a lot of filth in human nature in the city of Greenfield. No one had ever claimed they didn't care about money.

Money and power were what men chase all their life, but a woman could give up everything for love.

At that moment, he didn't feel moved, rather he pitied for women.

It was no wonder good women were always taken for granted. Their expectations from men were really too low.

Love was all they wanted. But love could be easily be feigned.

“Alright, I will marry you.”

Because of this offhand promise, she instantly cheered up and started insisting that she wasn't in pain anymore.

Afterwards, on many occasions, he would bring women to bed. He used to look down on women, but he discovered that with Cornelia, it was genuinely enjoyable.

He didn't have any other women. He thought he was just addicted to the physical intimacy between men and women. But when he tried it with other women, he couldn't go through with it. It disgusted him.

He liked the way Cornelia looked at him with those sparkling eyes, full of affection and hope. It was as if she could save a man who was buried in darkness.

She was too pure, unlike him, his hands were drenched in blood.

What started as cold indifference and disdain turned into a slight stirring of emotion. Her love gave him a lot of confidence, making him believe he could trample on this relationship as he pleased.

Omar froze, staring at her in disbelief. But the expression on her face was too calm, as if she was talking about the beautiful weather.

A minute passed. Cornelia saw that he wasn't moving, so she got up, planning to buy it herself.

Omar grabbed her arm, holding it tightly.

Cornelia felt as if her wrist was about to break from his grip. His voice was shaky, “I’ll buy it. Just stay here.”

Then he strode towards the pharmacy without a backward glance.

Cornelia sat down, watching his retreating figure and let out a cold snort.

It took Omar half an hour to return.

He held a box of contraceptive pills in his hand, placed it on the nearby stone table, and also brought a cup of warm water.

There were even a few packs of condoms.

Without hesitation, Cornelia stuffed the condoms into her pajama pocket, “Mr. Casson, you're very thoughtful. I needed these.”

Omar didn't say anything. He just pushed the cup of warm water towards her, “The pharmacist said the side effects of these pills are minimal.”

Cornelia raised an eyebrow and swallowed the pills.
