*TRISTAN*
After the meeting,my grandma walked up to me.With the passing of time,she was looking more aged.She barely comes to the company now.
"Don't you think it's high time I stop coming to the company altogether?"She began.
"Of course,everyone thinks so,Grandma but you're the one who keeps wanting to come to the company."
"You think I want that?Why don't you get yourself figured out once and for all.Your personal life is a mess!You went from not treating Cora well so going back to your ex and then telling me that your ex is pregnant!Just for me to find out later that you were lying!Now you want Cora back and at the same time you have been absent from the company for weeks.You lack stability,Tristan.I know you've been handling the company well but you unstable life still makes me worried."
I swallowed, perfectly understanding her doubts.
I held her frail hand."I'm sorry,Grandma.I promise to do better in the future.I'm going to get my perso
*CORA*"Let's stop talking about this,Tristan."With that,I hung up on him.I didn't want to hear anything else he had to say.Not long after I ended the call,my phone rang again and it was Lady Jane.I picked up and her voice immediately make me feel warm.She begged me to come over to see her as it had been a long time since she last saw me.I agreed.I couldn't help but think about the 4 years since she had been entered the Godoy clan after marriage.Lady Jane had treated me well.Even if I didn't gave birth to any child, she never urged her, let alone be harsh to me.Although I rarely saw her all year round,my heart was still full of respect for Lady Jane."I then thought about what Tristan had just said on the phone. All these confused me Give him a chance? A chance for what? What about Phoebe?Tristan didn't mention Phoebe all through the conversation. What happened?Women were born to be paranoid,I was no excep
Tristan started the engine, looked up at Cora and asked, "You haven't had breakfast, are you hungry?""Not really."Tristan nodded, "Grandma had asked the servants to prepare breakfast for us. We can have breakfast when we arrive.""Okay," said Cora in a voice that only could be heard by herself. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and even the air became silent.With so many questions and tangles in his mind, he couldn't say a word. Her heart used to be dead, but now she could feel that it was beating fiercely for this man again.The warmth feeling in her hand was so unreal. In the past years, Tristan had never bought her anything. But today, what did he mean?Were all these were meaningless?Cora opened her mouth suddenly, "I..."At the same time,Tristan said, "I..."Her heartbeat stopped for a second and she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only peek at Tristan from the corner of her eyes. She should be hating him
Uncle James was waiting at the door. It was so cold outside and no one knew how long he had been standing there. The cold wind had out a piercing chill. Cora greeted James as she got off the car.James said with a smile, "You came so early. It's cold outside. Come in."She nodded. Tristan got off the car and greeted James, "Uncle, I'm going to park the car. You and Cora can go in first."James nodded and smiled at the sight of the hand-warmer of Cora. He was pleased that Tristan finally learnt to take care of her.James walked ahead, followed by Cora. While James walked, he said in a calm voice, "Cora, I've heard about things between you and Tristan.He's really remorseful for everything he's done.I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him."Cora raised his eyes to look at the back side of James's head. In fact, he was not really old. However, due to overthinking and overwork, he looked much older than average people."I…emm.."She didn't know what to say.She didn't want the m
*CORA*Tristan sat on the sofa dejectedly, followed by me.I kept a distance from him.James suddenly said, "By the way, you must have not had breakfast yet, right? I've prepared it for you. It's in the dining room. Go and have breakfast." It seemed that James just remembered it. He really forgot about it just now."I have no appetite."Tristan replied."You have to eat something.You can't certainly make Cora eat alone."Tristan stared at me and gestured."Let's go eat breakfast."The silent atmosphere was like a thick wall between the two of us. It made me too depressed to breathe. I had to bear it.All kinds of appetizing food were placed on the table. Glancing at Tristan, I thought, 'Although I'm not in the mood to eat, I have to pretend.We have to at least eat.'Sitting down to eat breakfast quietly,I didn't say anything. I was afraid that my words would make Tristan more unhappy, although I didn't know why I cared so much about it. Maybe it was because of Lady Jane.****************
*CORA*Lady Jane looked dispirited.She looked in a pretty bad state, not as fresh and energetic as she was before. "I'm fine. You must have been here for a long time. Cora, come and have a seat." Although Lady Jane's voice was weak, there was obvious affection and tenderness in it.A smile appeared on my face, but my smile was a little stiff. I really didn't have the mood to smile at such a moment. "Grandma, how are you? Why don't you go to the hospital to see a doctor?"She coughed and said, "I'm fine. I'm not used to such a cold place like the hospital. Recuperating at home is ok."Tristan and James sat on the chairs beside the bed, and so did I. The atmosphere was a little awkward at such a solemn scene.*********************James looked at the servant next to him and the servant came over. James ordered in a low voice, "Bring some porridge to Lady Jane and call the doctor over."The servant nodded and walked out quickly. Not long after, a doctor in white came in quietly. He nodde
*All this was a conspiracy*Cora had been repeating this sentence in her heart. It was just a few months. What kind of waves could be stirred up in Tristan's heart? Life was so long. A few years was just like a blink of an eye.The various reasons and excuses prepared for Tristan in her heart seemed ridiculous now. Cora finally realized that she was just a piece in his hand. She only deserved to be placed on the right position by Tristan so that his Grandma would be pleased. As for her, the chess pieces would not complain.A trace of bitterness appeared in Cora's mouth. If Tristan deserved sympathy, then which one presented didn't deserve?When Lady Jane looked up at Cora,she was already very tired. She hadn't said so much for a long time, but she had to say it today."Cora,please come here."Cora walked over and stood beside Tristan obediently.Lady Jane reached out her hand, which was held tightly by Cora. "Grandma, what do you want to say? I'm listening.""Cora,I know the Godoy fam
*CORA*No matter how much Tristan had hurt me, I felt that it was temporary. Finally, after being hurt again and again,I found that I was wrong.The man who loved you won't intentionally hurt you even once, and the man who didn't love you would hurt you again and again.This time,I finally decided to make up my mind. I didn't know how many chances I had given to Tristan. In these repeated entanglement,Tristan was always being domineering and belittled me with his old tricks.Looking up at James, who was reading quietly next to me, I thought, 'Life can be fruitless sometimes. Who says that we must get married and have children, and who says that we must achieve success and win recognition?Standing aloof from worldly success like James is also a kind of positive attitude towards life'.After thinking twice,I made up my mind. This time, even if just for protecting my self-esteem, I decided to go against everyone's expectations.I won't give Tristan a second chance even if it would disap
*CORA*I looked at Tristan,seriously."Do not ever bring this up to me.""Cora,please give me another chance.For the sake of Lady Jane."I hated the fate that he was trying to use my weakness against me!Even if I were to ever consider going back to him,I needed to feel his sincerity!Not him trying to use Lady Jane and make me suffer all over again.I was filled with disappointment towards him.This man in front of me was a rogue.I had been fooled by him for various reasons, and now he shamelessly asked for remarriage."Tristan, let me tell you clearly. Listen up, I won't accept any remarriage, no matter what,no matter what reason or condition it is. I won't accept it. I won't accept it. " My voice grew louder and louder.The two of us had already walked out of the courtyard and came to the forest road outside the villa.I hated his ways so much that I refused to remarry without leaving any room for negotiation!*********************How could Tristan think of something like this? Ju
The look of ecstasy on his face was almost enough to cause her another explosive orgasm.She let her hands slide around and cup the hard,tight cheeks of his ass and she squeezed and kneaded as she licked and sucked.He was moaning now, running his hands through her hair.She loved it.She kept it up until she felt his cock pulse in her mouth, growing and hardening even more before he groaned."Cora…wait…I..I wanna come inside of you."He breathed and she slowly took her mouth away from him.He reached down and lifted her up with seemingly little effort and he positioned her properly on the bed.He leaned above her,supporting his weight with his forearms.He brought her legs up and wrapped them around his waist while her hands got busy again exploring his body and clutching onto his big shoulders.She arched her hips up further in a silent plea,desperately wanting to be filled by him.She felt him slid his cock slid into her,just few inches.As he penetrated her slowly, his eyes were ho
Noah called to sincerely let Cora know of how badly Tristan had missed her and how remorseful he was about everything.Cora was filled with mixed feelings.Had he truly given up on her?She didn't want him to.There had been many times in the past two months when they had been sitting or standing so close to each other.She was missing him today,more than usual.Should she go see him?But going to see him technically means she was accepting him.Was she ready to?She loved Tristan.Her feelings for him had never changed and she really wanted to start all over again with him.By evening,she made up her mind to take a chance on him.Getting to his knock,she knocked on the door.It opened up to reveal Tristan's tall figure."Cora,what are you…?"Before he could complete that,she stood on her toes and pressed her lips against his.She felt his whole body stilled and he didn't move a muscle as she kissed him.Why wasn't he kissing her back.She moved back a bit to see a shocked look on her
Zoe and Noah invited their two best friends,Cora and Tristan who also happened to be ex-couple.They needed the two of them to discuss their wedding plans as they were the chief bridesmaid and best man,respectively.Tristan and Cora were civil at the meeting.They didn't argue,they barely even spoke to each other.But Noah and Zoe could see them stealing glances at each other.It was obvious that they both wanted each other.After the meeting,Cora left first.Noah saw Tristan to his car."With how much you love Cora,I can't believe you're yet to get her back."Tristan shrugged,helplessly."I gave up.""You what?""I know I deeply wronged her but I apologize and begged countlessly,I even crossed the line by losing control of myself.I've done everything I can think of,Noah.I think it's best I respect what she wants."At that moment,Tristan's s mind was in a mess, as if a lot of memorries upwelled in his mind.Noah didn't know what to say abhors.Tristan waved his hand and got on the car.
Cora had planned to turn a blind eye to it, but to her surprise, she found that after Alvin got in the car, Phoebe also got in. The two hypocritical people got on the same car unexpectedly.By the time she came back to her senses and realized that she should take some photos,Alvin's car had already started.Cora glanced at the amount of oil, it was impossible for her to drive beyond several kilometers. Besides, she was not that fond of gossips. However, it reminded her of Tristan. Even though they had been divorced, she couldn't leave him to suffer. What's more, Alvin was not a kind person. What if Phoebe suffered losses? At the thought of this, Cora's heart skipped a beat. If Phoebe was drugged by Alvin, Tristan would be pained at the knowledge of it.Cora stopped her car beside the street and hailed a taxi to follow behind Alvin's car. Luckily, she was quick enough not to lose him.She had thought of different possibilities for their destination, but it turned out that Alvin was jus
But Cora knew it was not that simple. It was obviously a bloody farewell. Something must have been brewing behind Tristan's abnormal behavior. Was it because of Phoebe?Was he going to stop pursuing and go back to Phoebe who was always available to him?In that case, Cora would look down upon Tristan.For so many years, Tristan still didn't know her. How pathetic it was.She was out of breath because of crying. She had never cried like this in front of him. Whether it was because of what happened today or because they wouldn't see each other in the future, Cora didn't care. What she cared about was that Tristan was in front of her, but she couldn't express her inner feelings at all.Cora could do nothing but cry.Zoe saw this scene through the French window of her house. Standing behind her, Noah held Zoe in his arms and said softly,"Good things never come easy. Don't worry."Zoe nodded, but she was still worried. It was so embarrassi
"You don't have to do this. I said I would set you free. Don't be nervous."Tristan said slowly. At this moment, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he held it back.Raising her head, Cora was surprised to see the sadness in his eyes. 'How could he have such a melancholy look? It must be an illusion!'She calmed herself down and said in self-mockery, "I didn't expect that my divorce led to their marriage. Actually, you and I both are the matchmaker for them. You have made a great contribution."Tristan was not interested in arguing with Cora. He felt tired today. In the past, he saw arguing with Cora as a kind of pleasure, but now he realized that it was not pleasure but harm.The gap between men's and women's thoughts was not small. Until now, Tristan only knew that there was a gap, but he didn't know where it was. He just felt that he was tired, even though he had suffered less than Cora"Let bygones be bygones. Start over and pursue your own happ
Zoe's mother glanced at her father John as if she was blaming him for being too straightforward. She tried to mediate, "Her father means to ask if you have any plan after marriage?"Taking a sip of abalone soup, Noah looked up at Zoe. Although Zoe had never asked him, she still hoped to hear his plan.Noah's words were clearly heard by everyone present."Take over the family business and make it stronger. It would be best if it could develop into a leading industry. And have two children. If Zoe think that two children are too many, we can only have one. And then take care of child in love and harmony.If Zoe wishes to continue working or wants to stay home,I am completely fine with any choice she makes and I'll always stand by her every step of the way.I will love and take care of her until we're old and grey."Noah didn't feel ashamed to say so in front of all people. He didn't want to make unrealistic promises. All he wanted was to be with Zoe.Tristan s
Zoe was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Tristan this time. It was reasonable for her to call Tristan. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Cora who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Tristan, Noah would have other thoughts.If Tristan was also invited, would Cora feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion.Zoe thought for a while and decided to ask for Cora's opinion. After all, Cora was the key to the problem, and Zoe naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Corawas unhappy, she might not be in the mood to meet Noah's parents.Zoe got out of her phone and quickly sent a message to her.Zoe: Cora, let me ask you something.Cora: What's up? Go straight to the point.Is anything wrong?Zoe was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was friendship or lo
Phoebe made an inspection tour around the jewelry store. She was very attentive on her business, and the shop was finally running normally.Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. As a girl who was situated in business field since an early age,Phoebe knew how to run business even if she had no experience. As soon as she took over the jewelry store, she successfully ran the business on the right track. If time could travel backward, maybe she would be interested in learning business as her major.Hearing the familiar ringtone, Phoebe took the phone from the table listlessly, wondering who was calling. The moment she saw the caller ID, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy. It was Tristan!After clearing her throat, she calmly pressed the answer key. "Hello, Tristan.""Phoebe, I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened last time. I should have trusted you. Would you like to come to meet up this weekend and we could have a talk. I also have someone to introduce to you."Tristan
