Chapter 112

James hurriedly explained, "In fact, we can ask the servants to clean a room right away, but it will take a little time now. I'm sorry, Cora." At that time, James was still serious and seemed apologetic. Only Cora knew that it was a self-evident trick. What a coincidence! How come he hadn’t thought of this during the whole daytime! Now that they had divorced, what was the point of living in the same room. However, Cora had always taken the interests of the whole into consideration. It was her life principle not to go against everyone's wishes. There was such a kind of person in the world. In order to please the people around, they would sacrifice themselves. They sacrificed their time, their happiness and their principles. From the very beginning,Cora had been destined to be such a kind of person. No matter how she struggled later, she just resisted with little effort. James nodded with satisfaction and went back to his bedroom. He finally got what his mother asked him to do done well. Although it was a little farfetched, fortunately, Cora was not so stubborn. Otherwise, no one would be able to reach an agreement today. James could see that Cora still had feelings for Tristan. If she didn't have feelings for him, she wouldn't have looked at him with such sad eyes, and if she didn't love him, she wouldn't have been so eager to play hard to get him. However, it was useless for an outsider to say it out. She had to be conscious of this by herself. James went upstairs. The guest room was on the first floor.Tristan walked in the front, and Cora followed behind him. It was the first time that Cora had felt so embarrassed. She could clearly hear her heart beating. She was a little resistant, but also a little expectant. Tristan also understood James’ good intentions, but he couldn't speak it out. However, such a scene could only make the two more embarrassed. After all, the remarriage proposal in the daytime came to nothing. Tristan opened the door, and Cora followed him in. This room was still so familiar. Every time they came here, the two of them would live here together, but now it was different from before. At any time, if the scene could make people touched, it would always be something that had been lost. People naturally wouldn't think about it when they still had it. Tristan went in casually. When he pushed the door open with his slender fingers, a chill came over. He kicked the door lightly with his slim legs, and then the door was completely opened. They always slept here whenever they came visiting Lady Jane in the past.They had to share the same room so the old woman would think they were an happy couple. Tristan closed the door. Looking at the man in front of her nervously, Cora said, "Let's make it clear first. I didn't tell the truth today for the sake of James. Behave yourself." Tristan was hurt by Cora’s defensive look. Why didn't she use it against other men, but only on himself. A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. Then, he looked up and down at Cora and said, "I'm not interested in you right now.” Unable to utter a word, Cora could only shout angrily, "You!" Tristan turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Cora took a deep breath. What a narrow world. How could she be so unlucky? She knew that this was Tristan’s place, how could she dare to come here so boldly! It was hard to say how bitter it was now. Frustrated,Cora sat on a chair, threw her bag away and crossed her legs. She took out her phone and saw the picture of Zoe and Noah swimming together,Zoe had posted it on instagram. Cora’s eyes widened in shock.Zoe was really brave to go swimming at such a time and weather! She couldn't help sending a message to Zoe. Cora:You downtown people are really good at playing. Not long after, a message rang. Cora took a look at it. Zoe: We just love doing sports. Cora: Lol, you guys swim in such cold days just because of the love of sports? Zoe:Ordinary people like you won't understand us. Cora:You're right. I'm just an ordinary woman. I'm trapped again. Zoe: What's wrong? Didn't you and Tristan go to visit his Grandma? Cora: Yes, you are right. But I feel that your expression is strange. Zoe: Get to the point. Don't change the topic. Cora:We are sharing the same room tonight. Zoe: I see. I won't bother you anymore! Seeing that, Cora took a deep breath.Zoe must have misunderstood her again. She didn't mean to express this by telling her the truth. Cora: Hey,I'm forced to do that, okay? He proposed to remarry me, but I refused. Zoe:I thought he was still in the process of winning you back.Doesn’t he know that he still needs to prove himself before anything else?! Cora: Never mind. I don't like him that much anyway so he doesn’t need to prove anything to me. Besides, I think even if we get remarried, we might get divorced one day again. Zoe: Think it over. As long as you are happy. When Cora was about to reply, Tristan came out. Cora: Well, let's stop here. He’s here. With a guilty conscience,Cora turned off the phone. She couldn't tell him that even if she had thought about it for thousands of times in her mind. Otherwise, it would be irreversible. Seeing the unnatural expression on Cora’s face,Tristan didn't say anything. After putting down her phone,Cora went to the bathroom to take a bath. It was so cold outside. Taking a hot bath was indeed a good thing in one's life. Tristan was wearing a bathrobe and lying on the big bed. The expression on Cora’s face just now had been hovering in his mind for a long time. He struggled for a while, stood up, walked to the chair and looked at the phone in front of him. Even though he knew it was immoral, but... If he didn't do that, how could he know what Cora was thinking. Tristan calmly picked up the phone and pretended as if nothing had happened. He happened to see the last message from Zoe. Zoe;Okay.We’ll talk later. Tristan opened the chat box and saw the conversation between Cora and Zoe. He frowned when he saw the words "I don't like him that much anyway" sent by Cora. 'Does Cora really have no feelings for me? No wonder she is always indifferent to me. She might have wrongly typed the word to say that she didn't like me that much. Maybe she had never liked me before.' Tristan frowned and put the phone in its original position. Sure enough, it was better not to know the secret that others didn't want one to know. He was in a bad mood for a moment. He always thought that Cora was just mad at him, but he didn't expect that there was no blame at all. She just didn't like him. Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable. Tristan sat on the bed dejectedly and took out a cigarette. He had never smoked when he was in the same room with Cora, but today he couldn't care that much. He had already made it clear to Phoebe, but he didn't expect that the fate would turn him down. Now it was Cora’s turn to refuse him. Sure enough, everything was destined. When Cora came out of the bathroom and smelt the smoke in the room, she frowned and asked, "Did you smoke?" The cigarette in Tristan’s hand was still burning. "Can't you see that? It's so obvious." Annoyed,Cora rushed to him, grabbed the cigarette from his hand and threw it into the trash can. "If you want to smoke, please go out. This is a public place." Tristan gave a snort of contempt and spit the smoke circles that was still in his mouth into the face of Cora, which made her cough several times. "Tristan, are you crazy?" Anger was written all over Cora’s face. It was intolerable for her to stay in the same room with him. Tristan squinted his eyes, looking cynical. "Yes, I am crazy. I was crazy to marry you and make myself so miserable now." 'Who on earth is miserable?' Cora wondered with rage. 'How could he say that he was miserable?' The mocking smile at the corners of her mouth became more obvious. She said in a high voice, "Tristan, I don't care what's wrong with you, but please don't say the word 'miserable'. I think you don't deserve to say it."
