Chapter 1319

When Cornelia was a kid, she got the short end of the stick in life due to lack of parental care, including being isolated, bullied, and subjected to prejudice. But looking back, she realized that her grandma didn’t stint on love for her. She had everything other kids had. Abigail and Zack were always there for her, and their parents showered her with love too. Even when she got framed and some bad stuff went down, they stood by her, giving her endless strength.

She got knocked around a lot in life, but there were also many people who showed her kindness, helping her get out of the pit and see the light at

the end of the tunnel.

That was life, wasn’t it? It had ups and downs. Someone would hate you, and others would love you.

Her kid would be the same. They wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but as long as they had her and these people who loved them, that was more than enough.

Cornelia gently touched her belly, feeling the life inside her growing stronger every day. She was over the moon about it, and she knew she could protect it from harm.

She looked at Jarvis again, and saw a longing in his eyes, “Jarvis, you deserve better. Don’t waste your time on me.”

Just as hope started to bloom, Cornelia nipped it in the bud. For a moment, Jarvis even thought about going to extremes to get her. But it was just a geeting impulse, and his common sense quickly prevalled. He laughed, “Better? You really think there’s anyone better for me out there?”

Cornelia, “Sure there is.”

Her nonchalance irked Jarvis, “When a man’s heart is full of one girl, you think he can see anyone else as better?”

Cornelia said, “I’m not you, I wouldn’t know.”

Jarvis asked, “Are you trying to get a rise out of me?”

Cornelia said, “No, I’m just curious. How can guys like two girls at the same time?”

Jarvis said, “What do you mean guys can like two girls at the same time? That’s a gross generalization. There are good and bad people in every gender. No room for sexism here.”

Cornelia said, “I’m not sexist. I’m just curious about why some of you can be so disloyal in love.”

Jarvis said, “Some of us? Just say Marcus.”

Cornelia was silent.

Jarvis asked, “You still can’t get over him?”

Cornelia retorted, “You want the truth or a lie?”

Jarvis said, “The truth, of course.”

Cornelia laughed lightly. “It’s not that I can’t get over him.”

She pointed at her heart, “Every time I think about being deceived, betrayed, and how my love was taken for granted, it hurts.”

Jarvis said, “So you’re afraid of getting hurt again, that’s why you don’t want to start a new relationship. Cornelia, don’t get stuck in the past. You need the courage to embrace new love.”

Cornelia responded, “Who says a woman has to start a new relationship after a divorce? Who tells you a woman has to get married? I can make money and live a good life. I’m carrying a baby of my own, and it makes me incredibly happy. Why do I need a man and put myself back into the uncertainty of marriage?”

Jarvis said, “Are you overreacting? Like someone who was bitten by a snake and gets scared by ropes afterwards.”

Cornelia didn’t want to continue this conversation, “I’m going to get some breakfast. I’ve got things to do afterwards.”
