Chapter 141
She didnt expect that even the seemingly harmonious couple. Hannah and Steven, would have insues Being single ainât so bad after all, saving you all this loveyâdovey headache Now that theyâve hit this topic, how could they possibly let Cornelia off the hook? âCornelia, how about you? Howâd you and your husband meet?â
With all eyes on her, Cornelia had to give an answer. We met through a blind dateâ
The three of them chimed in simultaneously âSeriously? A blind date?â
Cornelia, on the brink of divorce didnât really want to discuss Jeremy But they were all waiting for her answer, so she had no choice, âOur grandmas are old pals, they really wanted us to get married So, we tied the knot â
Hannah chimed in again, It doesnt matter how you met What matters is whether he truly cares about you, whether he loves and respects you If not, youâd better call it off. Donât let the elders call the shots for your happiness.â
Cornelia found this very reasonable, âMmm, thanks for the advice!â
âMiss
Awater arrived with a fruit platter and hot drinks, interrupting their chat. âThe young master asked what you and your friends would like to eat tonight, so he can prepare itâ
Skyler Blue shuddered at his words. The hot spring water suddenly felt like ice, sending chills down her spine. âZavierâs here?â
Cornelia, sitting closest to Skyler Blue, was the first to notice her change of mood. She grabbed Skylerâs hand, âSkylerâ¦â
Skyler Blue shook her head, Tm okayâ
The waiter confirmed, âYes, heâs in the next spring with a few friends.â
Hearing about the few friends, Hannah, who was originally trying to console Skyler Blue, visibly sunk, Friends? Is Steven there too? Wherever we go, theyâre always tagging along. What are they a bunch of puppies?â
Zavierâs unexpected arrival had spoilt the mood. Nobody was in the mood to chat anymore
Cornelia, who had assumed her man would never show up, had to step up as the mood maker, âIgnore them, letâs have our fun.â
Hannah grumbled, âAs long as theyâre not too creepy!â
Rosie nodded furiously, âMy hubby usually seems like a teddy bear, but can be scary when heâs mad. Some dude thought I was single the other day and asked for my contact. Then my husband almost punched his lights out.â
The conversation about their menâs misdeeds perked Hannah up, âStevenâs the same. Acts all understanding in front of others, but in reality, heâs totally domineering Super possessive too, wonât even let me do a kissing scene with another actorâ
Cornelia didnât know Jeremyâs personality. She looked down, not daring to join the conversation
Hannah finished talking about her man and then turned to Cornelia with a mischievous grin, âCornelia, howâs your man to you?â
This topic was completely beyond Corneliaâs understanding of her husband, but maybe because of soaking in the warm water, she started seriously thinking about it. In her distant memory, she vaguely remembered Jeremy being tall and wellâbuilt.
Cornelia didnât spend much time with him, but handsome men usually pull the strings in a relationship, right?Corbelia
