Chapter 107

*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 family owe you a lot. I always knew that you were perfect for Tristan. If he dares to bully you again in the future, just tell your uncle James.He will teach him a lesson for you.”After finishing her words,Lady Jane put Cora’s hand in Tristan’s. Although she felt awkward,Cora had to please the old woman. Cora felt pain in her heart. Tristan didn't love her. The truth wouldn't change even with Lady Jane’s coercion. Since nothing could be changed, the illusion of love between them could only make them feel more uncomfortable. No matter how beautiful the colorful bubbles were, they would burst sooner or later. Love was like a balloon. It could go back to the beginning once it was punctured by a needle. Let alone the love between them had never existed from the beginning. Tristan tightened his grip on Cora’s hand. He turned to Lady Jane and said, "Grandma, I know. I'll listen to you and treat Cora well in the future." Hearing this, Cora became even more disgusted with Tristan. He shouldn’t lie to his Grandmother so sincerely. Cora really wanted to tear apart Tristan’s hypocritical face, but obviously Lady Jane didn't want to see the family farce when she was lying on the bed weakly. Cora could only think about it. When you're really loved by someone, you don't need any words to prove the love. But when you didn't get the love, you would ask him and try to confirm whether he loved you or not repeatedly. When you asked that question, you already knew the answer. But you still don't want to give up. That was how Cora was now. She had already known the answer. But she still didn't want to get rid of all these. Love was like a quagmire. Unless people kept far away from each other, it was difficult to get rid of. Tristan’s heart sank upon seeing the defiant eyes of Cora’s.Was she angry again? Tristan loosened his grip. "Cora, come out with me. I have something to tell you." James's voice just interrupted the two people's gaze. In a panic, Cora stood up and said to Lady Jane, "Grandma, I'll go out then. Take care of yourself.” Lady Jane nodded with her eyes full of praise. There were only the two of them left in the big room. The silent atmosphere filled the environment, as if the room was empty. Lady Jane broke the silence, this time it was no longer about the love affairs, but a faint worry. "Tristan, I'm worried about your future. I know you have too many enemies in your daily life.I heard about your car accident and don’t you try to lie to me.I know everything.I have also tried to find the culprit but my people found nothing.” Lady Jane paused.She knew how serious her illness was. "If I'm gone in the future, I guess some people in the company will try to drive you out. At that time, your enemy will make trouble for you, and you will be in a difficult situation." When Lady Jane spoke, she felt headache, but if she didn't say it, there would be no chance to say these words in the future. Tristan swallowed and felt his throat sore. He tried his best not to say anything about that, but his Grandmother thought of everything for him. Tristan also lowered his head. His heart was heavy, and his voice was heavier, "Grandma, now what I'm worried about most is your health. Nothing else matters." Lady Jane was a little tensed. “Tristan, you have to understand that I can't accompany you for the rest of your life. I'm old and my health is not as good as before. In the past, I could agilely stand by your side.Now I can't even breathe after two steps outside.” Tears welled up in Tristan’s eyes. He used to think that there was also enough time to be with his Grandmother, but with the flying time, it turned out that everything was too late. “Grandma, why did your disease relapse all of a sudden? You were fine before, weren't you?"Tristan’s choked with sobs. Holding his Grandmother’s thin hand,Tristan really wanted to cry as he did when he was a child. "I have arranged everything for you in the future. I have thought about everything I can think of, and I have tried my best to arrange everything I can. In the future, no matter what happens, you have to bear it alone." Lady Jane gasped for breath. She had talked too much in one breath. “Grandma, are you really not going to the hospital to recuperate?" Tears streamed down Tristan’s face. Regardless of being a mature man, he only knew that he would always be a grandchild in the presence of his dear grandmother. "The result is the same whether I go to the hospital or not. I just don't want to stay in the hospital and wait for death in my last few days. Just take it as a vacation for my life. Anyway, everyone would die someday. But I'm still worried about you. Is it really impossible for you and Cora to be together”At last, Lady Jane put forward his second concern, Tristan’s marriage. "I will make up with her as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about me so much. It's all my fault. I'm sorry that you still have to pay attention to my business at this time.”Tristan sobbed. In his future life, whenever thinking of this conversation, he would still feel like to cry. The trees may prefer calm but the wind will not subside, the children may want to support their parents but their parents may unable to enjoy it. "Tristan, to win a woman's heart, you need to give her your own heart. I used to think you understand, but later I found that you don't seem to understand. You only give orders to others. No woman can accept such a husband. If your wife treat you like this, can you accept it?” Tristan looked up at her. He felt guilty as his relationship with Cora was still troubling his Grandmother at the end of her life. "I know. I will treat Cora well in the future.”He looked determined. He had never been so clear and sure about his heart like now. Lady Jane nodded. The two of them talked a lot more. ************* Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Cora idly rotated the hand warming doll in her hand.She didn't know what Lady Jane was saying to Tristan, but she still resisted in her heart, You knew clearly in your heart that you wanted to disappear in the sight of all these people, but you would still worry about how lonely you would be if you was alone. Even if a falsehearted retain would help to find an excuse for you to stay. You thought you can live a life as an ordinary couple who pretended to love each other if you accept him. Cora, stop lying to yourself.Her heart was much colder than the outside world. The most pitiful thing about a woman was that even if he no longer loved her, she still couldn't accept the fact. She was still addicted to his lies. Many women had been fearlessly entangled with men who don't love them all their lives, regardless of how much they pay and how much they get. That was how Cora used to be.
