Chapter 1327
Rosie picked up the conversation, “Hannah, I’m with you on this. We genuinely hope he and his sweetheart will be
happy forever and stop messing with others.”
Cornelia nodded in agreement.
Hannah said, “Is it just me or do all men lose interest in old things and crave for new ones? Back when we were still
married, I wanted him to go home with me for Christmas. But not only did he not come with me, he also forbade
me from going home. Now, months after our divorce, he shows up at my house on Christmas Eve.”
Rosie said, “Isn’t he head over heels for his sweetheart? Now that he’s ditched her to come see you, isn’t he afraid
of breaking her heart?”
Hannah said, “Who knows? Anyway, men who are with two girls at the same time are the worst.”
Rosie said, “Yeah, these guys are the absolute worst. I thought Cornelia’s Marcus was a catch, he seemed so good
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto her and so devoted, but turns out he’s just as irresponsible.”
Without realizing it, the conversation had turned back to Cornelia. Hannah quickly shot Rosie a look, signaling her
not to bring up Cornelia’s heartaches.
Cornelia just smiled and didn’t say anything.
The three chatted some more. As they were wrapping up their video call, Rosie added, “This is our group of four,
it’s a shame we’ll never see Skyler again. Didn’t she spend last Christmas alone in France?”
Mentioning Skyler, Cornelia felt a pang in her heart. She was so full of life, and now she’s gone. “Yes. She was in a
small town in France, and I was in Paris. After Christmas, I wanted to fly to see her, but I was stopped by Zavier.”
Cornelia said.
Later, Marcus and Ayden arrived just in time to rescue her from Zavier Last Christmas, she spent it with Marcus and
the others. In Paris, in his mansion, a crowd of people were preparing food, eating barbecue and watching TV. It
was very lively.
That night, Marcus gave her a big present. At the time, she didn’t know that Marcus was her husband Jeremy. And
after receiving the gift, she excitedly messaged Jeremy, saying that she had received a gift from her boss. Looking
back, she was naive in every way.
Rosie said, “I remember there were some issues with the Hartley Group’s Paris branch, you accompanied President
Hartley from Harbor City straight to Paris and you were busy until after Christmas.”
Hannah quickly interrupted Rosie, “Rosie, it’s late, hasn’t Lucas contacted you yet?”
Rosie said, “Oh crap, he just reminded me to pack up and head downstairs to go back to the Duncan family’s old
house with him. I totally forgot while chatting He’s definitely going to punish me tonight. I gotta go.”
After Rosie ended the video call, only Hannah and Cornelia remained.
Hannah said, “Cornelia.”
Cornelia asked, “What?”
Hannah said, “No matter what happened, if you ever need me, I’m here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia said, “You should remember, if you ever need me, I’m here too.”
Hannah smiled and said, “Then I’ll hang up now. I need to see what Steven is up to.”
Cornelia responded, “Alright.”
After the video call ended, Cornelia continued to sort out the gifts. Unexpectedly, she found several boxes of baby
products and many maternity supplies among the gifts, almost everything she would need for childbirth.
There was no note on the gifts indicating who they were from, so Cornelia assumed they were from Hannah and
Rosie.
There were so many baby and maternity supplies that Grandpa Augustine allocated a room specifically for storing
everything Cornelia would need for childbirth.
After she finished sorting things out, she went to have the annual Christmas feast. There were dozens of people
from the Duran family at the feast. It was a large crowd and the atmosphere was very lively.
However, Cornelia always felt out of place in this lively environment. Before her misfortune, she would have the
annual Christmas feast with her grandmother. Even when it was just her and her grandmother at home, her
grandmother would still prepare a full table of food.
Back then, she would happily prepare the feast with her grandmother, exchange blessings and gifts with Zack and
Abigail after the meal.
