Chapter 439 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• “You might think that incident had a huge impact on my life, a stain that can’t be wiped clean… but that’s not quite right. We’re the victims here, why should someone else’s mistake become the stain on our lives? “I used to think the same way you do, just like a lot of people I was scared that people would criticize me because of it, scared that they’d look at me with judgemental eyes. “Then I met Marcus, who firmly told me that such things shouldn’t make the victims feel shameful, it’s the perpetrators who should face the severe punishment of the law.” Speaking of Marcus, Cornelia continued the conversation, “Granny, I know you like Marcus a lot. He’s indeed a great husband, not only rich and influential but also handsome with a good physique. Men like him are rare. I’m lucky to have met him and I will cherish him, so you can rest assured. “More importantly, Marcus is a really good person, he treats me so well that sometimes it feels like I’m dreaming “He just told me that he will always be with me, but I’m scared to believe it. I’m scared that if I believe it, he might suddenly leave me one day just like you…”
• Cornelia reckoned, “if you harbor hopes, you’ll face disappointments. If you don’t expect anything, there’ll be no disappointments.” She dared not to have high expectations of Marcus now, because even her granny could leave her, maybe Marcus would deceive her too… “Granny, my mom left me, my dad left me, and you left me… did I really annoy you all? If not, why wouldn’t you all stay with me longer?” As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks like a flood breaking through a dam, and she couldn’t control her emotions, “But I’ve always behaved.” “I’ve been obedient since I was a child. Anything you didn’t want me to do, I didn’t do. Whatever you wanted me to do, I did. I’ve been so good, why did you all leave me?” Sometimes, Cornelia would wonder, if she had been a naughty child, would her parents not have left her?
• “Granny, is it because I married Marcus, you thought he could take care of me for a lifetime, so you don’t have to worry about me anymore, that’s why you left me? If that’s the case, I definitely wouldn’t have listened to you and got married. I’d be a child who makes you worry, as long as you’re constantly worrying about me, you wouldn’t leave.” Cornelia spoke and thought in confusion. She said a lot, a lot of things she had thought about but never spoken out loud. Some of the things she said, she had said to her granny countless times. She kept repeating them, because this was the last time she could talk to her granny. From then on, she would never have the chance again. She had completely lost her granny. She didn’t have her granny anymore. In this world, there were no more family related to her by blood. On the other side.
