Chapter 1382
“Alright, I’ll shut up.” Patricia handed Hope to Jeremy. “You guys feed him first. I need to prepare some food for Nelly.”
Jeremy carried the baby over to Cornelia, “I can help you feed him.”
Cornelia blushed and said, “You, you turn around. No peeking.”
Jeremy coughed awkwardly, and said seriously. “I’ve already seen them, and kissed them. Just now I even suck them…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Cornelia glared at him. “Jeremy!”
Jeremy dared not say more and obediently turned around.
After Hope finished his milk, he stopped crying and lay peacefully beside Cornelia, fast asleep. Patricia also brought over a lot of delicious food for Cornelia, a variety of options for her to pick from.
Just as they finished eating. Hannah arrived. She lived in Harbor City, so she was the quickest to arrive.
Jeremy was wise and left the space for the two of them.
Hannah said, “Not only is President Hartley okay, but you two made up?”
Cornelia knew Hannah’s persistent nature. If she didn’t clarify things, Hannah would keep asking. So she explained, “There was some misunderstanding between us, but now it’s cleared up, so we made up.”
Hannah was genuinely happy for them, “I told you before, your boyfriend loves you so much, he would never betray you.”
Mentioning this, Cornelia felt a bit remorseful, “I was so naive, fooled by the illusion he created. He was so sick, and I wasn’t by his side.”
“You can’t blame yourself. He deliberately deceived you, and anyone would be fooled.” Hannah held Cornelia’s hand, “Nelly, don’t beat yourself up.”
Comelia smiled, “Hmm.”
Hannah continued, “I couldn’t believe it when I heard you had already given birth this morning. I remember your due date was still twenty-something days away. How did it come so early?”
“I had a dream, and it scared me.” But telling the truth would probably make Hannah mock her every now and then, so Cornelia didn’t say it, “Maybe my Hope wanted to meet his mommy earlier.”
Looking at Hope lying peacefully beside Cornelia, Hannah voiced a sudden desire, “I used to not like kids, but seeing Hope lying so quietly, not crying and not fussing, I suddenly
want one.”
Cornelia replied, “First, you need a boyfriend to have a baby.”
Hannah retorted, “Getting a boyfriend is a piece of cake, but finding one as good as yours is not easy.”
Cornelia asked, “Has Steven contacted you lately?”
Hannah answered, “We’re divorced. Why would he contact me?”
Cornelia asked, “Then why did he come to you last time?”
