Chapter 1123
âHe said he didnât know, and he was looking for them, but does that mean he was not involved in what happened back then?â Cornelia thought about the letter from Granny Rebeccaâs diary. She had no idea that the letter was written by Granny Rebecca, and its contents pained her.
Comelia could feel the despair of the woman who wrote the letter.
Back in the day, an unmarried girl had a child, and the man who once promised her a lifetime of happiness disappeared after she gave birth. She and her child were left alone to face the ridicule and expulsion from their neighbors.
The pain that Cornelia had gone through was nothing compared to even a tenth of what Granny Rebecca had to endure. With her grandmother and friends by her side, it was almost unbearable for Cornelia, let alone her grandmother back then
Cornelia didnât know how Granny Rebecca had borne those hard days, but she knew that it must have been a pain that Granny Rebecca would not want to mention in her life. So, Granny Rebecca later completely separated her past from her present. She even refused to admit that her past self and her present self were the same person.
Now thinking about it, Cornelia was still heartbroken, âI have read the letter my grandmother wrote. Back then, an unmarried girl raising a child all by herself, how much she had to bear, does he know?â
Alfredo said, âCornelia, calm down, listen to me.â
Cornelia scoffed, âHe must know, and he also knows that his family would not let him marry a girl from outside. He knew everything but did not make any preparations for them before returning to the Capital, did not prevent possible things from happening, leaving my grandmother alone to face the

Alfredo said, âIâm sorry!â
Cornelia said, âYou owe me nothing. Donât apologize to me. If you get the chance, go to Rosenberg, go to the graveyard and apologize to my grandmother.â
Alfredo said, âI will. The matter of you being a descendant of the Duran family.â
Cornelia said, âDonât worry, I know you want me to keep it a secret, I will keep it. And I donât want to believe what I heard today anywayâ
Alfredo was silent for a while.
Cornelia said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll leave first.â
Alfredo nodded, âYou go rest.â
Cornelia turned and left.
Alfredo watched Corneliaâs retreating figure.
He had misjudged this time. Relying on the status of the Duran family, he thought that anyone would be happy to hear that they were a descendant of the Duran family. He didnât expect that there are still many people in this world who were not all after power and wealth.
It was not that Cornelia didnât care about money and power, but she had already married to a worldâclass tycoon, already had endless wealth. That was. why she could be so firm.
If he had known that Cornelia would react this way, he would not have told her the truth. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.
âWait for me! Have you left me behind?â Emilyâs sweet voice rang out, interrupting Alfredoâs thoughts and causing Cornelia, who was quickly leaving, to stop and look back at him.
Emily ran towards Cornelia in small steps, âWait for me!â
Cornelia opened her arms to catch his soft little body, and heard him sweetly say, âHeâs very stern, but donât be afraid of him, Iâll protect you?
Cornelia was touched by his words, âI know. As long as youâre by my side, Iâm not afraid of anything.â
âThatâs right.â Emily stretched out his chubby hand, rubbed Corneliaâs cheek, and kissed her face.
His lips were moist, and felt like a soft gummy when kissing Cornelia, almost melting her heart.
