Chapter 1379
Jeremy totally misread Cornelia’s feelings for him, which was why he could make such a tough decision thinking that leaving her would be the best way to protect her. If Jeremy knew how much Cornelia really liked him, he definitely wouldn’t think that bailing on her would be the best way to keep her safe. So Cornelia had to let him know how she felt, “Jeremy, I like you.”
Cornelia’s sudden confession hit Jeremy like a ton of bricks, causing ripples in his heart, “I know.”
He would always remember her telling him that she liked him.
“No, you don’t. You know I like you, but you have no clue how much.” Cornelia hugged him tight, so close that they can feel each other’s heartbeat. novelbin
Cornelia’s voice rang out again, “I like you more than I ever expected. That’s why I chose to divorce so decisively when you made me believe in your illusion. If I didn’t care about you, if our marriage was just a formality. I wouldn’t give a damn about who you’re with. So before you make any decisions in the future, ask me first, okay?”
That was just how Cornelia was, straight to the point and no beating around the bush.
Hearing her voice, Jeremy felt a huge shock, making his heartbeat race. He held Cornelia even tighter, “Alright.”
Just then, the door slammed open. Grandpa Augustine rushed in, “Nelly…”
He didn’t see Cornelia at first, but he saw Jeremy on top of her. Grandpa Augustine rushed over to pull Jeremy off, but how could an old man move such a big guy like Jeremy, “Nelly just gave birth. What are you doing?”
Jeremy didn’t feel embarrassed, he slowly let go of Cornelia, and sat up straight, “Old Augustine, you’re here.”
Grandpa Augustine realized he misunderstood Jeremy. His face turned red, “How are you doing now? You seem to have recovered well.”
Jeremy replied. “Thanks for your concern. Everything’s fine.”
Their conversation felt so insincere that it was almost unbearable, as if they could start arguing at any moment. Cornelia quickly stepped in, “Grandpa, what brings you here?” Grandpa Augustine sat down by Cornelia’s bed, squeezing Jeremy behind him, “You just had a baby. How could I not be here?”
Last night, Grandpa Augustine got a call from the nanny saying Cornelia was about to give birth, so he immediately flew to Harbor City. But due to the weather in Harbor City, the plane couldn’t land, so he had to fly to a nearby city, and then take a car. As a result, he spent a few extra hours on the road, otherwise, he would have arrived before dawn.
Cornelia immediately turned to Grandpa Augustine, “Grandpa, this is Hope.”
Grandpa Augustine looked at the baby lying next to Cornelia, “How can Hope sleep so soundly? The noise outside doesn’t seem to bother him at all.” Cornelia smiled, “I just heard from Patricia that Marc was the same when he was little, not fussy at all. Maybe Hope inherited his dad’s good genes.”
