Chapter 1230

Cornelia didn’t deny it, she just chuckled and said, “Life’s a rollercoaster, you gotta go through all sorts of stuff to grow”

“No matter what, you gotta look after yourself.”

“I will, totally”

Cornelia looked up at the sky it was the dead of night and the bright moon was slowly rising, hanging lonely in the horizon. That was exactly how she felt. Despite having Patricia by her side. Cornelia felt incredibly lonely. It was as if she were a small boat adrift in the vast sea, unable to find her way back home.

Patricia spoke up again, “Nelly, 1

Cornelia cut her off, “Patricia, you can just say what you want to say. No need to tiptoe around it.”

Locking a bit uncomfortable, Patricia said, “I don’t have any kids and it’s just me. I’ve been working for the Hartley family for years and I’ve come to see them as my own family”

“Now that Marc doesn’t need me, and I have nowhere to go. If you’re okay with it, I can stay and look after you. You don’t have to pay me, just give me a place to live”

After working for the Hartley family for so many years, Patricia had saved quite a bit. But without them, she didn’t know what to do with it.

Cornelia had always been looked after by Patricia. Now that Patricia needed help, she wouldn’t turn a blind eye. “Patricia, I’ve got a place in Lakeview Estates. After Tahlia moved out, it’s just been me. You can live with me”

Patricia replied, “Okay. I can cook, clean, all that stuff. You just focus on your comics and making money”

Cornelia grinned, “Great. It’s nice to have you around”

Patricia said, “I really like you and want to take care of you. I’m glad you’re giving me this opportunity.”

Cornelia answered, “I like you too, Patricia.”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they left the villa. To an outsider, it seemed like they were not affected by the divorce at all.

The villa area of Celestial Chateau was vast. It took Cornelia and Patricia almost an hour to walk out.

Zack, who was picking them up, had been waiting for a while. Seeing Cornelia, Zack immediately took her luggage and stuffed it into the trunk. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

Cornelia nodded, quickly opened the back door, “Patricia, get in.”

Looking at Zack, Patricia asked, “Nelly, is this your friend?”

Cornelia answered, ‘Yes. His name is Zack. We grew up together and are very close. You’ll be seeing a lot of him.”

Patricia greeted Zack, “Young man, nice to meet you!”

“Nice to meet you too! Zack responded enthusiastically.

Patricia chuckled. “Nelly, your friend is quite likeable”

Zack laughed, “Of course. If I wasn’t, how could I be Smelly Nelly’s friend?”

Patricia asked, “Smelly Nelly?”

Zack explained enthusiastically, “Smelly Nelly is a nickname we gave to Cornelia When she was little, she accidentally drank alcohol and crawled around all stinky when she was drunk. Hence the nickname.”

Patricia squinted and laughed, “Sounds funny.”

“Indeed”

They chatted back and forth, the length of their conversation matching the duration of the car ride. While it seemed like they weren’t paying attention to Cornelia, in reality. their gazes never truly left her.
