Well, let's talk about it when you get home." Eddie breathed a sigh of relief. She was with Tristan. Anyway, they used to be a couple, and maybe they could remarry. Although he was also very disappointed at Tristan, if his daughter wanted to make such a choice, he must respect her decision.Cora stood up and fixed her make-up because it was ruined by tears. She took out the small mirror and looked at her face. She couldn't help laughing and sighed, "I'm so ugly. Why am I crying like this?"Zoe smiled, pointed at her shoulder and shrugged. The tear stains were still there on Cora's face.Shocked,Cora covered her mouth with her hand, like a kitten fawning on its owner. She leaned over and wiped Zoe's shoulder.With a bright smile on her face,Cora said, "I'm sorry, Zoe. Thank you.""Honey, it's not a big deal. You have to be happy. That's the most important thing, okay? " Zoe's rare tenderness was exposed too much today.Cora felt warm in her heart. There was no love from Tristan but she
Phoebe was glad to hear that. It was rare for a man like Tristan to have time to go shopping with her. In her memory, he should have given her a bank card. "Take it and buy as you like!"! Was that the case?With an uncontrollable smile on her face,Phoebe picked up a new jacket and a dress and handed them to Tristan. "Tristan, which one is better? Which one I should buy?"Tristan raised his eyes and said, "Buy both if you like. You can have a try."Hearing what Tristan said,Phoebe felt as sweet as honey. The saleswoman beside flattered Tristan.Most people would choose one and said it was better-looking, but they didn't know that when a woman asked them such a question, they wanted both indeed.Men just need to tell them to buy both."Miss, you have a good taste. These two clothes are the latest style, carefully designed by the designer of Milan. They are tailor-made according to the figure of elegant women. It fits the image of elegant women and highlight the curve beauty of them. Miss
Phoebe went to several more stores and bought several branded bags and several pairs of shoes. Seeing that Tristan's assistant's hands were full, she happily held Tristan's hand and walked out of Times Shopping Center. It was already 7 p.m.After shopping for half a day, it was getting dark. Tristan asked his assistant to take the clothes that Phoebe bought back to the villa.He also took Phoebe to eat seafood.At the table, Phoebe was talking about her awkward experience abroad, and Tristan listened attentively. He hadn't been with her for so many years, and he had missed a lot of her life, and she was the same."Tristan, you know what? In fact, the moment I knew you were married, I wished I could fly back.But after reconsidering, I thought we would finally get what we should get, it's of no use to demand. After all these things, you are still mine. " Holding a glass of red wine,Phoebe looked different. Under the ambiguous light,Tristan actually took her as Cora.That only lasted a s
The board of directors burst into sneer.Marcus was furious, "You!""If there is nothing else, let's call it a day. That's all for today. If you have any complaints, you can talk to me privately. "Marcus looked up defiantly at Tristan.He snorted and thought to himself, "You are so lucky. Tristan, I didn't expect that you would ridicule me with your romantic affairs."Maria was known for his lechery at home. He had been put in jail for several times just because of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. At last, Lady Jane was furious. Marcus was appointed as a director. He could have been on the same level with Tristan, but he missed the good opportunity.Marcus had been bothered by this matter all the time. He thought that his ability was no less than Tristan's. why was he inferior to him?Marcus began to look for something against Tristan,but Tristan had been married for so many years and hadn't had an affair or been involved in any other scandals. Marcus had wasted a lot of
Noah picked up the glass of juice and thought of a person. He couldn't help smiling gently. Fortunately, he came back, or he would be lonely all his life. He would rather be alone for the rest of his life than make do with it. This was Noah's philosophy toward life. But now this philosophy no longer worked, because he had met a person he liked.He even enjoyed a nice dinner with her the other day.Taking a sip of juice, Noah put down the glass, stood up and jumped into the swimming pool. His beautiful curve aroused waves one after another in the water. After swimming a few circles, he climbed out of the pool. It couldn't be as bad as he thought.Everything was getting more and more interesting.*******************TRISTAN*After work, I stopped the car in front of the restaurant. Noah hadn't arrived yet.I looked at his Rolex watch. It was only 6 o'clock. It was still early.I thought that Noah would drive an eye-catching luxury car, but I didn't expect that he just took a taxi.I cou
*TRISTAN*"Why didn't you call out to me?"I asked him.Noah shrugged."I saw how heated things were with Cora and Marcus.You looked pissed so it wasn't a good time."I sighed and just drank."You really got divorced from her?"He asked me.Noah wasn't around for the duration in which Cora and I were married but he knows all about her because I tell him everything on phone."I did.""And you're with Phoebe now?"I nodded."Are you taking things seriously with Phoebe?"He asked and I couldn't reply to that."You don't look particularly thrilled to be with her."I set down my glass and finally let out my confusing feelings."When Grandma forced me to marry Cora,I did promise Cora that I may love her one day.As at that time,I was still upset about being forced to marry her so I prepared divorce papers in advance.But after a year of living with her,I kinda got used to her presence,I never told her this but I liked coming home to see her waiting and smiling at me so I naturally thought she was
*CORA*A knock sounded on my door causing me to lift up my head.It was my dad.I smiled at him as he walked into my office.He was holding a flask of food."I brought you some food."He informed me."Thank you."I replied.He placed it on the table and then stared at me,solemnly."What is it?"I asked,curiously."You've really lost weight,my dear.You've barely been home for the past few weeks.You're always working overtime.The company is doing well now.And I want you to be well too.""I'm okay,dad.I just…we just have a lot of business proposal and I need to go over every one of them.I do not want us to lose any of our business partners.It was really hard for us to get to this point.""I know, my dear.But I want you to put your health first.C'mon,it's getting late,let's go home together.""I'll be working overtime tonight.""Cora."He groaned."Dad,I won't work overtime,tomorrow.I promise."He sighed and moved closer to me."I'm glad I have a hard working daughter but I want my daughter to
*CORA*I opened my eyes to a really bright light.My head hurt and I had no idea where I was.I looked around and found my dad lying beside my bed.I finally took in my surrounding and realized that I was in a hospital.I closed my eyes as I recalled what had happened,going to pee and seeing blood,trying to get help while feeling so weak.I shot my eyes opened with a gasp and that woke up my dad.His eyes widened when he saw me awake.He slowly placed his hand on my hair."How are you feeling,my dear?"I stared at him,curiously."What happened to me?"I asked,curiously."I'll…I'll get the doctor to make sure you're okay."He murmured and then walked off.Was it me or did he look sad?Few minutes later,he walked back into the ward with a doctor and two nurses.The doctor asked how I was feeling and examined me."She's stable now,Mr Watson."The doctor said."Stable enough to take the news?"My dad asked.A cold feeling seeped into me.What news?I saw the doctor nod."I'll tell her myself."My
Looking at the quickly moving Cora,Tristan's long and narrow eyes were dimmed. After all, he couldn't even figure out the woman's mind.Without even turning her head,Cora knew that Tristan, who was standing behind her, was furious. The last pleasure of a couple was probably to torture each other. While thinking of this, she came to the dining room.The villa was big, so was the dining room.The dining room was on the first floor, but it was in another building beside the villa. The restaurant was a classic triangular building. It looked like a castle from Middle Ages Europe, and the layout inside was also elegant.The wall was covered with hand-embroidered silk. The patterns were dragon and Phoenix in bright color.There were evergreen plants around the room, adding a touch of warmth in cold winter.In the middle of the restaurant, there was a long set of tables and chairs, on which there were already many dishes covered. The covers wouldn't be opened until all people were seated.Lad
*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
*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
*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*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
*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.****************
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
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
*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
