Chapter 1249
Maybe it was the boore, but Cornelia couldnât stop talking. Besides, weâre young good looking and well off if our current partners arenât cutting it, we can just find new ones Grandpa Augustine used to say, the next man after a bad one is always better
Hannah hadnât known Comelia for long but she knew her better than most. She could see through Corneliaâs façade, âAre you still hung up on President Hartley?â
âNonsensel Who says Iâm hung up on him? How could I possibly be hung up on that scoundrell Cornelia said
Comelia derued it vehemently pouring herself another drink and downing it in one gulp. âHow could I possibly be hung up on a man whoâs changed his heart
Hannah said softly. I can tell, you actually really liked President Hartley Nelly, itâs not shameful to like someone. Youâve genuinely loved, so itâs hard to let go. Thereâs nothing wrong with thatâ
Cornelia looked at Hannah, her eyes welling up. âIs it really not shareful?â
Hannah held her hand, âWe werenât the other women, we publicly loved our husbands as wives. Even if weâre divorced now, whatâs so shameful about not being able to forget him for a while?â
Corneliaâs eyes filled with tears, âHe once said he wanted to spend his life with me, he said he only wanted me, no one else. I believed every word he said to me, I believed we would grow old together. But he changed, he betrayed me, and our marriage.â
Wiping away her tears, Cornelia continued, âHe suddenly changed, I didnât recognize him. But I still remember his tone and expression when he said those things to me.â âWe often think that peopleâs hearts change slowly, but actually, they often change in an instant. Falling for someone might happen in a moment, falling out of love might also happen in a moment. Nelly, you donât need to dwell on why he changed, you should live your life wellâ Hannah advised.
Cornelia understood all this, but she just couldnât let go. She wanted to move on from this past relationship more than anyone else, wanted to completely let go of Marcus from the depths of her heart.
In the end, it was just that she wasnât strong enough, didnât have enough strength to control her emotions.
Thinking of this, Cornelia took a few more drinks, and Hannah drank with her, âToday weâll just drink slowly, until weâre drunk.â
âIs this a celebration of our newfound singledom? Cornelia laughed
âExactly Cheers to single lifeâ Hannah said.
Cornelia was drinking more and more, the alcohol numbing her nerves and loosening her tongue, âHannah, do you know. When I proposed the divorce, Marcus didnât even ask why He seemed to have been waiting for me to propose the divorce, like he was looking forward to cutting ties with me.â
Hannah said, âJust because he didnât ask, doesnât mean he didnât care
Like Hannah herself, when Steven proposed the divorce, she didnât ask for any reasons, just went through the divorce procedures with him. It was only after the divorce that she learned from others that Steven was eager to leave her because his longâmissed exâgirlfriend had returned.
These men were really speechless, eager to find replacements when their exâgirlfriends were gone. Now that the exâgirlfriend was back, they were eager to discard the
replacements
Hannah thought, if she were that exâgirlfriend, she would never accept her man finding a replacement when she was not around
Cornelia asked, âNot asking doesnât mean not caring? If the person I love suddenly proposed a divorce, I would definitely ask for the reasons.â
