Chapter 1543
Corneliaâs gentle voice echoed through the phone, âYouâve been sleeping early these days. Whatâs up with you tonight? Anything on your mind?â
Hannah nodded, âYeah.â
Comelia hit the nail on the head, âDid Steven come to see you?â
Hannahâs eyes widened in surprise, âNelly, I swear youâre psychic.â
Cornelia chuckled, âNo psychic powers here, I just know you. I know that only Steven can make you this troubled.â
Hannah sighed, âNelly, do you think Iâm being foolish?â
Cornelia suddenly turned serious, Hannah, donât you dare belittle yourself. Youâre an amazing, beautiful, and understanding woman. Believe in yourself.âe2
Hannah replied, âIâm not belittling myself, just stating the facts. Steven hurt me before, yet I canât forget about him. I even canât fall asleep after seeing him.â
Comelia responded, âAs the saying goes, it may only take a second to fall for someone, but it can take a lifetime to forget them. This is perfectly normal. Donât overthink it.â
Hannah said, âNelly, youâre the best. Every time I fall into self-doubt, a chat with you always clears my mind.â
Cornelia said, âHannah, youâre much better than you give yourself credit for.â
These words filled Hannah with a renewed sense of confidence, âYeah, Iâll remember that. I wonât belittle myself again. By the way, is my godson asleep?â
Cornelia turned her phone to show Hope, who was playing cheerfully, âHe just had his bath. Heâs playing with his toys while he waits for his dad to tuck him in.â
Hannah said, âI just wanted to see my godson, and here you are showing off your relationship.â
Comelia chuckled, âIâm not showing off!â
Hannah said, âYou said your son is waiting for his dad to put him to sleep. That means your husband is hands-on with the baby. Isnât that showing off?â
Cornelia laughed, âMy husband indeed takes care of the baby. He even brings him to the office. Howâs that?â
Hannah said, âEnough. Let me get a good look at my handsome godson. Turn his face this way.â
Hope múrmured, âMama.â
Hannah was overjoyed, âNelly, my godson can say âmamaâ?â
Cornelia said, âYeah, this little rascal first said âdadaâ, then âmamaâ. Seems like he knows who takes care of him more.â
Hannah said, âGodson, say âgodmotherâ!â
Hope excitedly flapped his chubby little hands at Hannah on the phone, âMama.â
Hannah said, âHey, son! Nelly, your son is so cute and handsome. Look at his pretty little face. Heâs going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up.â
Cornelia said, âYour godson takes after his father.â
Hannah said, âCornelia, if you continue this way, Iâm not going to video call you anymore.â
Cornelia smiled and suggested, âYou seem to love children. Have you thought about having one of your own?â
Hannah said, âIâll consider that when I find a man willing to have one with me.â
Not long after registering their marriage, Hannah wanted to have a child with Steven but was told by him that she wasnât worthy of bearing his child. Ever since then, she stopped wanting children.
Cornelia said, âSteven might be a good candidate.â
Hannah said, âNelly, stop teasing me. I have no intentions of reconciling with him.
Cornelia said, âWho said anything about reconciling? Ever heard of âkeep the child, not the fatherâ?â
At this, Hannah understood Corneliaâs meaning, her eyes lighting up in excitement, âNelly, where do you come up with these crazy ideas?â
