Chapter 1024

Tahlia said, “Thanks! You go see her first, and after that, I’ll treat you to a milkshake.”

In the past, Clair always banned her from drinking milkshakes, considering them unhealthy and sugar-loaded, which could lead to weight gain.

Due to Clair’s ban, even though Tahlia craved milkshakes, she wouldn’t dare to drink them.

Cornelia chuckled, “Sure thing.”

After ending the call with Tahlia, Cornelia found Clair’s number and sent her a text to arrange a meeting. Shortly after sending the message, Clair called back, “Nelly, if you want to see me, no matter how busy I am, I’ll make time for you.”

Comelia felt sickened by such fake words, but she calmly said, “Let’s meet at Ma llon at two this afternoon. Hope you’ll be on time.”

Clair responded, “Sure, I’m heading out now.”

Cornelia hung up without further ado. She knew Clair was trying to acknowledge her as a daughter because Clair knew Marcus was her husband. Clair had clear intentions. she wanted to be the mother of Marcus’ wife and get more benefits from him.

Two in the afternoon.

Cornelia arrived at Ma llon on time. When she arrived, Clair was already there and had reserved a private room. She warmly greeted Cornelia, “Nelly, sit down quickly. This café is famous for its coffee and desserts. I ordered some for you to try, not sure what you like. If you find something you like, let me know and I’ll order more.”)

Cornelia responded with indifference, “Do you know why I’m here?”

Clair replied, “I don’t know how you see me, but I’ve wanted to have a heart-to-heart with you ever since I found out you’re my daughter. I hope you can forgive me and accept your mother.”

Comelia scoffed.

“Nelly, the dessert is here. Try some. What kind of coffee do you like? I’ll have it prepared right away.” Clair didn’t mind Cornelia’s coldness, because her goal was never to get close to Cornelia, but always about Marcus.

Comelia said, “I’d like an iced Americano, it’ll keep me alert so I don’t mistake people.”

Clair responded, “Who’d dare say you mistake people? If you did, how could you have married a man as outstanding as Marcus?

Comelia tried a piece of dessert.

Ma llon was said to be the best café in Riverton, serving excellent coffee and desserts. As she ate, Cornelia listened to Clair’s continuous chatter. Clair talked a lot, mainly about how she shouldn’t have left Cornelia and her father in the past and how she shouldn’t have failed to recognize Cornelia when they met.

Clair apologized to Cornelia earnestly, while Cornelia listened with an indifferent face, occasionally responding to show she was listening, “What’s your favorite color”

Without thinking, Clair immediately answered, “Blue!”
