Chapter 517

Back in the day, people were always saying Cornelia was a bad omen claiming some fortune telling gibberish linking her parents‘ death to her fate

Hearing such nasty rumors, as a kid was like a lifelong shadow dangling over her head. Even though Cornelia’s granny kept telling her not to listen to all that trash talk, that II had nothing to do with her, it was already too late

The hurtful words had already taken root deep in Cornelia’s heart, impossible to dig out

In a stern tone, Cornelia’s granny cut her off, “Cornelia, I’ve told you a million times not to listen to their baseless rumors. Why do you still take it to heart? They’re just saying things out of spite Got it?”

Cornelia, “But

Gently rubbing her head, Cornelia’s granny said, “If you want your father to rest easy in Heaven, then you need to live your life well. As long as you’re happy, your father will be at peace”

“Alright, I’ll live my life well” Cornelia knew the best way to pay respect was to live a good life. However, she still blamed herself, still wondered if things would’ve been different if she wasn’t in the car that day

But there are no what–ifs in life.

Comelias granny was in poor health and couldn’t walk far. She sat down with Cornelia, “So, how are things going between you and Jeremy?”

Both of them were constantly traveling for work, even unable to meet on Christmas. They probably didn’t see each other often.

Every time she thought about it, Cornelia’s granny got worried, “Even the strongest marriage can be strained by long–distance. I’m afraid one day he’ll be swept off his feet by another woman”

Comelia was quite confident about this, “Granny, you don’t have to worry Jeremy is a faithful man. If he was the type to be swayed, it’d be a matter of time. Better sooner than later, right?”

Poking Cornelia’s forehead, her granny asked. “Tell me honestly, did you two have a fight? Is that why he’s ignoring your texts and calls?”

Leaning on her granny’s shoulder, Cornelia said, ‘Granny, we’re good. I went to Woodpine yesterday and bought him a new outfit. He loved it.”

Granny, “Are you sure there’s no problem?

Cornelia answered seriously, “Granny, when I promised to marry Jeremy, I was prepared to spend a lifetime with him Despite the bumps along the way, we’ve sorted them out. After sorting them out, I saw his sincerity and understood some things myself. I believe he’s a reliable partner and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.”

Hearing this, Cornelia’s granny was delighted, “Married life isn’t always a bed of roses. The most important thing is to have shared values, understanding, support, and to live comfortably together”

Cornelia couldn’t agree more. “How did you and grandpa meet?”

Granny Rebecca sighed, “Just like you two, we were introduced by our parents and then we got together”

Laughing, Cornelia said, “If we use today’s lingo, you and grandpa had a ‘whirlwind wedding”

Granny Rebecca replied, “You dare to tease me. I want to ask you, have you and Jay thought about when to have kids?”

Guess there was no avoiding the kid talk after all.
