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, claiming 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."
Cornelia didn't know what to say.
She wasn't feeling inferior. She was just subtly indicating that she had no plans to remarry.
She didn't believe that her grandpa and Jarvis Alexander didn't get it. They were just playing 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."
Cornelia continued, "I have no intentions of dating anyone at the moment, and I don't plan on remarrying in the future.
I'm pregnant now, and I plan 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"
Because her grandmother had passed away, Cornelia regretted not listening to her about many things, so she tried her best to comply 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"
Cornelia said, "Grandpa, what I want is actually very simple, a job that can support me financially, family and friends to keep me company, and for me and my loved ones to be healthy and happy."
Grandpa Augustine said, "You already have all of these things."
Cornelia 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."
"Lunderstand. I'll 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 Cornelia, he nevertheless gave Jarvis Alexander a meaningful glance, signaling him to keep up the gocd work.
