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 bad one is always better."
Hannah hadn't known Cornelia for long, but she knew her better than most. She could see through Cornelia's facade, “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 scoundrel!" Cornelia said.
Cornelia denied it vehemently, pouring herself another drink and downing it in one gulp, "How could I possibly be hung up on aman 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?"
Cornelia'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."
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 replacements when their ex-girlfriends were gone. Now that the ex-girlfriend was back, they were eager to discard the replacements.
Hannah thought, if she were that ex-girlfriend, she would never accept her man finding a replacement 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."
