Chapter 1248
Hannah chuckled, "Nelly, the issue here ain't whether I care a hoot or not. His ex is back in the picture, and he’s the one that suggested we call it quits. He's the one that packed his stuff and scrammed from our place overnight"
Hannah took a deep breath, trying to swallow her anger, “And, you might not know this."
"Uh huh, spill it’ Cornelia said.
Thinking about the past humiliations, Hannah's eyes welled up. She quickly lifted her head, forcing herself not to shed a tear, "We were legally married, but he said I wasn't good enough to bear his children, said no woman other than his ex is worthy of him. He's a man with a big sexual needs, couldn't keep his hands to himself. So on the day we tied the knot, he went and got a vasectomy:
All this news left Cornelia speechless. What did Steven take Hannah for? Not every woman was worthy to bear his children.
Who the hell did he think he was? Did he really think every woman was dying to have his child? What a joke!
Hannah poured them some more drinks, and amidst the clinking glasses, she added, "I've thought about divorcing before, but Steven always warned me off. This time, when he suddenly proposed a divorce, I was quite shocked, wondering if something was up with him. But then, when I found out his ex was back in town, it all made sense."
"Just live your life then. Let him and his ex live happily ever after. And you, Hannah, you've still got your freedom and happiness.” Cornelia comforted.
Hannah smiled, “That's the plan. Over the years, I've been living under so much pressure, constantly worrying people would find out about me and Steven. After the divorce, I felt like a weight had been lifted. I feel so much lighter.
Hannah sounded carefree, but Cornelia saw the sadness in her eyes. At that moment, Cornelia saw a reflection of herself in Hannah, the facade of strength.
