Chapter 118

Zoe was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Tristan this time. It was reasonable for her to call Tristan. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Cora who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Tristan, Noah would have other thoughts. If Tristan was also invited, would Cora feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion. Zoe thought for a while and decided to ask for Cora’s opinion. After all, Cora was the key to the problem, and Zoe naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Corawas unhappy, she might not be in the mood to meet Noah's parents. Zoe got out of her phone and quickly sent a message to her. Zoe: Cora, let me ask you something. Cora: What's up? Go straight to the point.Is anything wrong? Zoe was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was friendship or love, a prompt reply would make people feel extremely safe. Zoe: Don't be angry,Cora. Swear to me. Taking a deep breath. What had happened to Zoe?Cora thought, pouting. Cora: Okay, okay, go ahead. I won't be angry. Zoe: I wanted to invite Tristan to the meeting on this Wednesday. Do you have any problem with that? As a smart woman, Cora knew what Zoe meant. But she wanted to make fun of Zoe and see her reaction. Cora: Yes, I have problem with that. I won't go if Tristan would be there. Looking at the message from Cora, Zoe was worried. She didn't expect that the two of them had such a deep grudge. It was true that hatred originates from love. Zoe replied without hesitation. In her heart,Cora was definitely more important that Tristan. No matter if Noah had a problem with it or not, she would insist on pleasing Cora. Zoe: Okay. I won't inform Tristan then. After all, you are more important than him to me. Looking at the message sent by Zoe,Cora laughed out. This silly girl took it seriously. No matter how much she hated Tristan, she still knew that she should set store by overall interests. "You silly girl. Noah must hope Tristan to be there as well. How can I affect you? Of course I would sacrifice myself to make your meeting perfect. You can call him if you want. I have no objection. Looking at the message from Cora,Zoe felt quite happy. Zoe:Kiss you. I know you love me, and I love you too. See you on Wednesday. Looking at the kissing expression sent by Zoe, a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of Cora’s mouth. Anyway, Tristan had promised to let her go. She won't be so narrow-minded as to avoid seeing him. Moreover, in the haze, there was always a force pulling her to get in touch with that man. Even if they had divorced, no one could change the fact that they had been married. If a man in a marriage was like a pool, and a woman was like a fish. Then, whether it was a pool of dirty water or a clear spring, the fish would never forget where it lived. No matter the marriage was sweet or bitter, the existence of it would never be forgotten. Moreover, it could be fatal for a woman to meet a man. Few women could be so rational, including Cora. Once one's life was fully complete, it would make people feel empty. However, at this moment, even if Cora’s life was not consummate, she still felt empty. Lost in thought, she wondered what would happen if she remarried Tristan. Even though she knew that a marriage without love would be broken up no matter how many times they remarried, she still couldn't help fantasizing. If she hadn't been so stubborn that day, she might have remarried Tristan. At least, she wouldn't have felt so empty in her heart now. However, it was impossible for Cora to do that. If she could only get a little happiness in the eyes of others by compromise, she would rather not do that. On Wednesday, at the door of Zoe’s house. Cora drove alone here as she was quite familiar with this place. The housekeeper was waiting at the door.Zoe was too busy to pick her up. Knowing that Zoe must be busy at this time, Cora didn't feel disappointed. After all,Zoe and Noah's parents were the protagonists today, It was a seemingly happy but actually thrilling meeting. Marriage was critical for rich and powerful clans. Besides, the clans of Zoe and Noah had never established cooperative relationship before. But this time, because of their marriage, the two families were likely to set up close relationship. If their marriage was successfully formed, both clans would benefit from it, especially Noah’/ family. After all, Zoe was the only daughter of her family, so she had been treated well. Noah’s family was quite satisfied with Zoe . Her family could be beneficial for the future development of Noah's career. However, the bad thing was that Zoe’s father seemed not to be satisfied with Noah. Because in his impression, Noah was not a reliable man. He was afraid that his daughter would be encumbered by him in the future. So today was obviously a test for Noah. After parking the car, Cora was led into the villa by the housekeeper. Soon, Cora appeared in front of everyone. Even on this occasion, she was still a shining role. She had unparalleled manner and deportment, but didn't steal the limelight of Zoe.Feeling satisfied, Zoe stood up and introduced, "This is my best friend, Cora." The parents of both sides glanced at Cora.Zoe’s parents had an impression of her, but Noah's parents didn't know much about her. Seeing his parents were puzzled, Noah sat aside and whispered in his father's ear, "She is Tristan’s ex-wife." His father was suddenly enlightened and knew everything in an instant. That would be appropriate. They were good friends of both sides, but unfortunately, they divorced and became a negative example for Zoe and Noah. Tristan sat aside indifferently and said nothing. This was the freedom he gave to Cora. He didn't want to quarrel with her. Obviously, Cora attended the dinner as a member of the friends of the bride's side. They could have gone to a big hotel outside for dinner, but Zoe’s mother insisted that she should stay at home. She had a feeling that she couldn't control the situation if they went to the hotel. She didn't like it. Glancing at the parents of both sides, Cora found that she shouldn't have come to such a situation, but at the strong request of Zoe, she had no choice but to come. After greeting, she sat down next to Zoe. The atmosphere was a little subtle. It should have been embarrassing as there were outsiders present, but the atmosphere was surprisingly good. After drinking several glasses of wine at table,Zoe’s father, John started to be talkative "Noah, I want to hear about your future plan. After all, marriage is not a trivial matter. From small scale, it was two people living together. From large scale, it was a connection between the two families. Marriage is a kind of positive relationship. Anyway, it should be positive for both sides. " John said confidently. He didn't think it was appropriate to be too straightforward on this occasion.
