    Chapter 1229


    Cornelia tucked the divorce certificate carefully into her bag hoisted her suitcase, and said, ‘President


    Hartley. I’m leaving with Patricia”


    “… I’ll walk you” Marcus said, standing up instinctively, reaching out to hold Cornelia’s hand.


    “No need” Cornelia immediately backed away, avoiding his touch.


    Marcus was left hanging he paused before saying. “You can keep the car I bought you.”


    “Thank you but no Cornelia replied.


    Marcus tried again, “I can have my driver take you.”


    “No need


    Marcus persisted, “It’s not easy to get a cab around here.”


    What was with the phony concern when they were already divorced?


    Cornelia could not bear Marcus‘ expression, “President Hartley, we’re divorced. From now on, we’re


    total strangers. Whether I can get a cab or not, that’s none of your


    business”


    With the divorce certificate in hand, she had no connection to him anymore. If they ever met again, they


    would just be strangers.


    “Well goodbye then, Marcus said


    Cornelia looked at Marcus. His face remained unchanged, still handsome with perfect features, devoid


    of any ws. But now, Cornelia thought he was so fake. Everything he had ever said to her, she


    couldn’t tell what was real and what was not


    But she wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore


    “It’s best if we never see each other again,” Cornelia said sweetly to Marcus.


    She never wanted to see him again, nor did she want to recall the words he had once said. She had


    truly believed that he wanted to spend his life with her. She had truly believed that she was the only


    woman in his heart. But reality had cruelly shown Cornelia that a man’s words should never be taken


    lightly.


    Marcus‘ clenched fist at his side. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.


    Cornelia turned to Patricia and said, “Patricia, I’ll help you pack”


    Patricia looked at Marcus, then at Cornelia. Although she didn’t want to believe that Marcus and


    Cornelia would divorce, the reality was in front of her and she had to ept it. “Marc, will you regret


    your decision today?”


    Marcus was the child Patricia had raised single–handedly. His thoughts were deep and many people


    couldn’t understand him, but Patricia felt she knew him somewhat. She could tell that Marcus really


    liked Cornelia, his eyes were full of her. She just didn’t understand why they had ended up divorcing.

    “I never do anything I’ll regret. You go with Cornelia, I’ll have someone pack your things and send them


    over Marcus said.


    “No matter what, I hope you can be happy.”


    Patricia looked at Marcus and then at Tahlia, who looked very pitiful.


    Marcus didn’t say anything else.


    Patricia turned to follow Cornelia, “Nelly, it’s not easy to grab a cab here. Should I call Granny Luisa to


    arrange a ride for us?”


    “No need to bother, I’ve already got a friending to pick me up. But his car can’t get into the vi


    area, so we’ll have to walk out.”


    “If we’re walking. I can manage, but you…” Patricia looked at Cornelia, ‘Nelly, is it really over between


    you and Marc? Is there really no chance for the two of you?”


    “Patricia, please don’t ever mention him in front of me again,” Cornelia said with a smile.


    *But I can tell, you’re not okay,” Patricia said.
