Chapter 1285


    Chapter 1285


    Jarvis Alexander had a ton of secrets, but he didn’t dare to spill the beans.


    He knew damn well that Cornelia had absolutely no recollection of him. Even if she did remember him,


    she wouldn’t have any feelings for him.


    Previously, he shot his mouth off in front of Grandpa Augustine, iming he could make Cornelia his


    wife within a year. But Grandpa Augustine only gave him six months.


    He knew it was a long shot, but he agreed anyway.


    This was because he had already missed one opportunity, and he didn’t want to miss another one…


    Grandpa Augustine had no clue about what was going through Jarvis Alexander’s mind, but he still


    backed him up, “Yeah, Jarvis Alexander is spot on. What era are we living in? So what if she’s been


    married before? So what if she has a kid? If you really like someone, you won’t give a damn about


    these things.


    Besides, Nelly, you’re super talented and a total knockout. Don’t feel inferior because you’ve been


    married before and have a kid. In my eyes, you’re the best‘


    Comelia didn’t know what to say


    She wasn’t feeling inferior. She was just subtly indicating that she had no ns to remarry.


    She didn’t believe that her grandpa and Jarvis Alexander didn’t get it. They were just ying dumb.


    That wasn’t going to work.


    After thinking it over, Cornelia decided to be upfront, “Grandpa, let me tell you how I really feel.‘


    Grandpa Augustine replied, “Go on”


    Comelia continued, “I have no intentions of dating anyone at the moment, and I don’t n on


    remarrying in the future. I’m pregnant now, and I n to have this child and raise them well. Please


    don’t set me up on any more blind dates in the future. I don’t want to lead anyone on.”


    Grandpa Augustine got worked up and said, “You’re only in your twenties. You’ve got your whole life


    ahead of you. Don’t make such absolute statements.”


    Comelia replied, “You’re right, the road ahead is long, and no one knows what the future holds. But


    right now, I know exactly what I want and what I don’t want.”


    Comelia’s words weren’t aimed at anyone in particr, but to Jarvis Alexander, it felt like she was


    singling him out.


    It was as if she was telling him that he was the one she didn’t want.


    Grandpa Augustine said, “You just can’t forget about Marcus. I really don’t understand. He betrayed


    you and hurt you so deeply. Why can’t you let him go?”


    Comelia replied, “Grandpa, I admit my decision has something to do with Marcus, but it’s not that I


    can’t forget about him, but rather I don’t want to waste any more time on men and marriage.


    I’ve always believed that whether you’re married or not, you can still live a normal life. If you’re married,


    you can have a good life together. If you’re not, you can still have a good life on your own. Life offers


    many choices, and marriage isn’t the only one.


    I know you set me up on blind dates for my own good, but have you ever seriously considered whether


    this is what I need? Whether this is the kind of life I want to live?”


    Because her grandmother had passed away, Cornelia regretted not listening to her about many things,


    so she tried her best toply with her grandpa’s wishes, hoping that when he passed away, she


    wouldn’t feel guilty about anything.


    The more she kept quiet, the less her grandpa understood her true desires and continued to force his


    own ideas upon her.


    Grandpa Augustine admitted that he hadn’t really thought about what Cornelia wanted. He had just


    been one–sidedly imposing what he thought was best onto her, “Then tell me what you want. Anything


    within my power, I’ll try my best to give you.”


    Comelia said, “Grandpa, what I want is actually very simple, a job that can support me financially,


    family and friends to keep mepany, and for me and my loved ones to be healthy and happy”


    Grandpa Augustine said, “You already have all of these things.”


    Come said, “Yes, everything I mentioned, I already have. So Grandpa, I’m very satisfied with my


    current life. I don’t want to spend time with a man I’m not familiar with. I just want to live my life freely”


    I understand. Il respect your decisions from now on and won’t set you up on any more blind dates.”


    Even though Grandpa Augustine said he wouldn’t arrange any more blind dates for Comelia, ho


    nevertheless gave Jarvis Alexander a meaningful nce, signaling him to keep up the good work.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
