Chapter 1213

Watching the girl’s receding figure, Leonardo was fuming “I swear, she’s totally avoiding me on purpose!”

Cornelia rolled her eyes at Leonardo, not in the mood to chat.

“What do you think? Leonardo asked

“Let’s just go eat.” Cornelia avoided the question.

Leonardo persisted, ‘I need an answer or I’m not gonna sleep tonight.”

“She made it pretty clear, didn’t she?” Cornelia retorted

Leonardo was puzzled. “They say women are hard to figure out. Maybe she says no, but means yes.”

Comelia sighed, “Where’d you get that nonsense? When a girl says no, she means no Stop making it more complicated”

Leonardo anxiously asked, “I’m not making it complicated. I just want to know what I did wrong? Why doesn’t she like me?”

“Love’s a matter of fate.” Cornelia said, wincing at the memory of Marcus leaving with Tahlia that morning. She spent the whole morning trying to distract herself, ignoring the heartache But the more she tried to ignore it, the more it hurt, like countless needles poking at her heart.

It was so painful that she was almost numb

“Fate? My ex–girlfriends liked my money, and I liked their looks. We both got what we wanted. Isn’t that fate?” Leonardo asked.

Cornelia had had enough. She headed towards the restaurant.

“You sound like nagging granny today.” Leonardo mocked.

Cornelia just smiled, “Maybe that’s just who I am.”

“Serves you right for being stressed Leonardo said.

Cornelia smiled again, not responding. Arguments weren’t her style

“Did you fight with Marc? Leonardo asked.

“No” Cornelia shook her head

It would be better if they had fought. At least then, she would know what the problem was. Now Marcus seemed to avoid coming home and when he did, he was cold and barely spoke to her. Cornelia wanted to find the problem and solve it, but Marcus refused to communicate. She didn’t know what to do.

“You seem different today Leonardo said.

“Enough with the chit–chat. Everyone’s waiting for us to eat.” Cornelia didn’t want to delve into her issues.

Leonardo reached out to put his hand on Cornelia’s shoulder, but she quickly stepped aside. “Keep your distance. Especially from a married woman like me.”

Leonardo pulled back his hand, a bit dejected, “Cornelia, consider leaving Marc and marrying me. Granny Wilson really likes you, she’s been looking for a girl like you for me. If you marry me, the Wilson family will cherish you like a treasure.”

Suddenly, Cornelia shouted into the house, “Granny Luisa, Leonardo says…
