Chapter 495
Natalia knew for sure, if Cameron found out she was playing him, heâd surely off her But she wasnât ready to kick the bucket yet!
Even if her everyday life was a living hell, she wanted to keep hanging in there because there was always hope while she was alive
Plus, she knew she only got one shot at life, there were no do overs. Once she died, sheâd have nothing
Natalia took a deep breath, mustering up the strength to pick herself up off the ground despite feeling weak as a kitten.
She had to win Marcus over for real before Cameron got wind of the truth. The only person who could help her now was Cornelia.
Thinking of Comelia, Natalia immediately whipped out her phone and shot a text [Cornelia, heard youâre taking it easy these days. How about I swing by around lunchtime, we grab a bite and then hit the shops in the afternoon?]
It was the middle of the night and Natalia wasnât holding her breath for a reply from Cornelia. However, no sooner had she put down her phone than it buzzed.
Cornelia texted back: [Sorry, Iâm spending the day with my granny tomorrow.]
Natalia wasnât ready to throw in the towel. She sent a voice message straight away, âCornelia, are you still holding a grudge against me. Donât you like me? Iâm genuinely sorry, I hope we can be friends.â
Comelia replied (Whatâs past is past. Iâm not petty donât sweat it.]
Seeing Corneliaâs response, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she just trusted Comelia, believing that she wouldnât pull a fast one on her
Natalia asked again [Cornelia, how come youâre still up so late?]
Cornelia replied [I ate too much tonight, my stomachâs giving me grief. Iâve been in and out of the bathroom.]
Natalia asked [Got any meds? Want me to swing by with some?]
Cornelia replied (Iâve already taken some, feeling a bit better now. Gonna go to sleep, you should too. Night!]
Natalia asked [Cornelia, are we friends now then?]
Cornelia replied. [As long as you donât rope me into chasing Marcus, we can be friends]
Natalia replied somewhat dejectedly: [But without Marcus, I wouldnât be able to keep going.]
When Cornelia saw Nataliaâs message, her headache started up again. She didnât really want to deal with this lovestruck girl, but somehow she couldnât help but soften.
Fighting off sleepiness, Cornelia said: [Natalia, no oneâs life is over just because someone else is gone. Even your parents will leave this world before you do. How can you not live without a man who has nothing to do with you?]
Natalia replied. Without him, I canât live.]
Cornelia said: [Youâre really stubborn. Marcus is already hitched, he doesnât feel for you. Youâre only hurting yourself]
Natalia told Cornelia [When I was a kid, my mom and family told me that I would be Marcusâs wife one day I lived with that thought for over a decade. And just when i thought I was going to be Marcusâs bride, they told me Marcus had already married someone else.]
Cornelia was really at a loss about Nataliaâs family!
