Chapter 1249


    Chapter 1249


    Maybe it was the booze, but Cornelia couldn’t stop talking. Besides, we’re young good looking and


    well-off if our current partners aren’t cutting it, we can just find new ones Grandpa Augustine used to


    say, the next man after a had one is always better


    Hannah hadn’t known Cornelia for long but she knew her beller than most. She could see through


    Cornelia’s fa?ade, “Are you still hung up on President Hartley?”


    “Nonsense! Who says I’m hung up on him? How could I possibly be hung up on that scoundrell


    Cornelia said


    Cornelia denied it vehemently, pouring herself another drink and downing it in one gulp. How could I


    possibly be hung up on a man who’s changed his heart.”


    Hannah said softly, I can tell, you actually really liked President Hartley. Nelly it’s not shameful to like


    someone. You’ve genuinely loved, so it’s hard to let go. There’s nothing wrong with that”


    Cornelia looked at Hannah, her eyes welling up. Is it really not shameful?”


    Hannah held her hand, “We weren’t the other women, we publicly loved our husbands as wives. Even if


    we’re divorced now, what’s so shameful about not being able to forget him for a while?”


    Comelia’s eyes filled with tears. “He once said he wanted to spend his life with me, he said he only


    wanted me, no one else. I believed every word he said to me, I believed we would grow old together.


    But he changed, he betrayed me, and our marriage

    Wiping away her tears, Cornelia continued, ‘He suddenly changed. I didn’t recognize him. But I still


    remember his tone and expression when he said those things to me


    “We often think that people’s hearts change slowly, but actually, they often change in an instant. Falling


    for someone might happen in a moment, falling out of love might also happen in a moment. Nelly you


    don’t need to dwell on why he changed, you should live your life well Hannah advised.


    !


    Comelia understood all this, but she just couldn’t let go. She wanted to move on from this past


    rtionship more than anyone else, wanted topletely let go of Marcus from the depths of her


    heart.


    In the end, it was just that she wasnt strong enough, didn’t have enough strength to control her


    emotions.


    Thinking of this, Cornelia took a few more drinks, and Hannah drank with her, ‘Today we’ll just drink


    slowly, until we’re drunk.”


    Is this a celebration of our newfound singledom? Corneliaughed


    Exactly Cheers to single life. Hannah said.


    Cornelia was drinking more and more, the alcohol numbing her nerves and loosening her tongue,


    “Hannah, do you know. When I proposed the divorce, Marcus didn’t even ask why. He seemed to have


    been waiting for me to propose the divorce, like he was looking forward to cutting ties with me”


    Hannah said, “Just because he didn’t ask, doesn’t mean he didn’t care.


    Like Hannah herself, when Steven proposed the divorce, she didn’t ask for any reasons, just went


    through the divorce procedures with him. It was only after the divorce that she learned from others that


    Steven was eager to leave her because his long missed ex-girlfriend had returned.


    These men were really speechless, eager to find recements when their ex-girlfriends were gone.


    Now that the ex-girlfriend was back, they were eager to discard the recements


    Hannah thought, if she were that ex girlfriend, she would never ept her man finding a recement


    when she was not around.


    Cornelia asked “Not asking doesn’t mean not caring? If the person I love suddenly proposed a divorce,


    I would definitely ask for the reasons.”
