Chapter 1233
Old times stuck to you like shadows, but the person ainât the same no more. Marcus had changed, and maybe Cornelia had too.
They canât go back to how things were, and if they ever met again, theyâd just be strangers Cornelia hoped she never had to see him again. But, did being out of sight really
mean out of mind?
Even though Cornelia didnât want to admit it, the pain in her heart reminded her that she still cared In fact, she cared a lot. That was why she insisted on getting a divorce Sometimes, Comelia even admired herself. Despite the pain being so intense that it was hard to breathe, she still managed to put on a brave face in front of others. Maybe, this strength was something Marcus had given her. Sheâd spent so much time working by his side, she knew better than anyone how well he handled stress. Sheâd seen a lot and sheâd learned a lot.
Why was she thinking about Marcus again? Cornelia shook her head, trying to get Marcus out of her mind. But he was like a virus, slowly invading her heart.
Pain was all she can feel right now. Cornelia instinctively curled up, as if that could lessen the pain.
The night was awfully long, so long that Cornelia didnât know how she made it through. All she knew was that sheâd managed to survive another endless night. But Cornelia got up and got ready like she always did. She even put on makeup to hide the tiredness on her face.
Once she was ready, she opened her bedroom door and was greeted by the smell of breakfast.
Comelia headed towards the kitchen âPatriciaâ¦
Upon hearing Corneliaâs voice, Patricia popped her head out of the kitchen, âNelly, I got coffee and cheese sandwiches for breakfast, do you like it?â
Cornelia nodded, âI love it, absolutely love it.â
âThen enjoy it today. I also made two plates of pancakes in your way. Letâs dig in.â Patricia heard that eating highâcalorie food and sweets can lift up oneâs mood, so she prepared these for Cornelia.
Cornelia hugged Patricia from behind, âPatricia, you know me so well. What am I gonna do? Youâre so good to me, I donât think I can ever let you go.â
Patricia laughed and said, âIâd be happy if you canât let me go. Iâm healthy now and I plan to take care of you for many more years
âThank you!â
Just then, the doorbell rang
âPatricia, Iâll get the doorâ Cornelia thought it was Zack or Abigail, she didnât check the peephole before opening the door. Only then did she realize it was a delivery guy
The delivery guy, dragging two full carts of boxes, greeted Cornelia with a big smile.
âAre you Miss Cornelia?â
Cornelia nodded.
The delivery guy continued. âThese are from Mr. Hartley Please sign here.â
