Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1229

Cornelia tucked the divorce certificate carefully into her bag, hoisted her suitcase, and said, "President Hartley, I'm leaving with Patricia."

"I... I'll walk you," Marcus said, standing up instinctively, reaching out to hold Cornelia's hand.

"No need." Cornelia immediately backed away, avoiding his touch.

Marcus was left hanging, he paused before saying, "You can keep the car I bought you."

"Thank you but no." Cornelia replied.

Marcus tried again, "I can have my driver take you."

"No need."

Marcus persisted, "It's not easy to get a cab around here."

What was with the phony concern when they were already divorced?

Cornelia could not bear Marcus' expression, "President Hartley, we're divorced. From now on, we're total strangers. Whether I can get a cab or not, that's none of your business."

With the divorce certificate in hand, she had no connection to him anymore. If they ever met again, they would just be strangers.

"Well... goodbye then," Marcus said.

Cornelia looked at Marcus. His face remained unchanged, still handsome with perfect features, devoid of any flaws. But now, Cornelia thought he was so fake. Everything he had ever said to her, she couldn't tell what was real and what was not.

But she wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.

Patricia looked at Marcus and then at Tahlia, who looked very pitiful.

Marcus didn't say anything else.

Patricia turned to follow Cornelia, "Nelly, it's not easy to grab a cab here. Should I call Granny Luisa to arrange a ride for us?"

"No need to bother, I've already got a friend coming to pick me up. But his car can't get into the villa area, so we'll have to walk out."

"If we're walking, I can manage, but you..." Patricia looked at Cornelia, "Nelly, is it really over between you and Marc? Is there really no chance for the two of you?"

"Patricia, please don't ever mention him in front of me again," Cornelia said with a smile.

"But I can tell, you're not okay," Patricia said.
