Chapter 1326

“But I’m nearly 27, and three years later I’ll be 30. Only he would think I’m still a kid who doesn’t know any better.” Rosie said.

Comelia said, “That’s just because Lucas spoils you rotten, that’s why he talks like that.”

Hannah replied, “Rosie, listen here, don’t flaunt your love life in front of us divorcees. Careful or we might just gang up and leave you out in the cold.”

Rosie retorted, “Who’s flaunting? I’m genuinely unsure of his thoughts. I’ve asked him, but he won’t spill the beans. That’s why I wanted to hear your take. You’re outsiders; you should have a clearer picture.”

Cornelia said, “As an outsider, all I see is that Lucas is head over heels for you. If you have doubts, Rosie, ask him directly. Clear the air and quit overthinking.”

Just as Hannah was about to speak, her phone buzzed with her brother Farley’s voice, “Your ex–husband is here.”

Rosie was quick on the uptake, “Hannah, why is President Dixon at your place? Shouldn’t he be spending Christmas with his family and girlfriend? Did he only realize what he lost when you were gone?”

Hannah replied, “I don’t need him to tell me how good I am.”

Rosie continued, “I just want to know why he’s seeking you out during Christmas?”

Cornelia listened without interruption. She always had a hunch that Steven hadn’t let go of Hannah.

Hannah said, “You two carry on, I’ll go see what’s up.”

In the video call, only two remained.

Rosie said, “Nelly, after Christmas, I’ll visit you in the Capital.”

Cornelia replied, “Sounds good.”

After a brief pause, Rosie continued, “Nelly, there’s something I’ve known for a while, but I’ve been debating whether or not to tell you.”

Cornelia said, “Speak your mind.”

Rosie asked, “Have you heard about President Hartley’s incidents?”

Cornelia replied, “Which incident are you referring to?”

Rosie said, “After the Hartley Group suddenly went bankrupt, rumors about Marcus’s death and his identity disappearing started to circulate. I -didn’t believe it at first, until I saw some documents from Lucas confirming that Marcus’s identity had indeed vanished. There’s no Marcus in this

world anymore.”

Cornelia’s grip on her cup tightened, but her face remained calm, “I see.”

Rosie was about to say something when Hannah returned, “Nelly, Rosie, he’s really at my house. I tried to shoo him away but he won’t leave. Has he lost his marbles?”

Rosie asked, “Did he say why he’s here?”

Hannah replied, “He’s playing chess with my dad, I haven’t asked him yet.”

Cornelia thought for a moment, then asked, “Hannah, if he wants to get back together, would you accept?”

Hannah answered, “Impossible, there’s no way he’d want me back. He’s so smitten with his girlfriend, that he divorced me the moment she returned. He wouldn’t want to reconcile.”

Cornelia said, “I mean hypothetically.”

Hannah shook her head, “I’m not a masochist, nor am I his pet, to be summoned back at his whim. It took me a lot of effort to escape his control, who would want to go back?”
