Chapter 1319
When Cornelia was a kid, she got the short end of the stick in life due to lack of parental care, including being isolated, bullied, and subjected to prejudice. But looking back, she realized that her grandma didn’t stint on love for her. She had everything other kids had Abigail and Zack were always there for her, and their parents showered her with love too. Even when she got framed and some bad stuff went down, they stood by her, giving her endless strength.
She got knocked around a lot in life, but there were also many people who showed her kindness, helping her get out of the pit and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Her kid would be the same. They wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but as long as they had her and these people who loved them, that was more than enough.
Comelia gently touched her belly, feeling the life inside her growing stronger every day. She was over the moon about it, and she knew she could protect it from harm.

Just as hope started to bloom, Cornelia nipped it in the bud. For a moment, Jarvis even thought about going to extremes to get her. But it was just a fleeting impulse, and his common sense quickly prevailed. He laughed, “Better? You really think there’s anyone better for me out there?”
Cornelia, “Sure there is.”
Her nonchalance irked Jarvis, “When a man’s heart is full of one girl, you think he can see anyone else as better?”
Cornelia said, “I’m not you, I wouldn’t know.”
Jarvis asked, “Are you trying to get a rise out of me?”
Cornelia said, “No, I’m just curious. How can guys like two girls at the same time?”
Jarvis said, “What do you mean guys can like two girls at the same time? That’s a gross generalization. There are good and bad people in every gender. No room for sexism here.”
Jarvis said, “Some of us? Just
say
Jarvis asked, “You still can’t get over him?”
