Chapter 36

Without saying anything,Cora started the engine. The restaurant was not far away from his supermarket, so they arrive there soon. Dylan got off the car and stood at the roadside. "Drive slowly when you go back, Sara." Cora nodded.She had always knew that Dylan was so considerate. He watched Cora drive away until she was out of sight. Then he went to the supermarket which was being decorated. Dylan took the packaged food to the construction workers hadn't eaten yet, so after handing it to them,He left. Several workers exclaimed that the food was delicious. He was in a good mood today. Unexpectedly, when he came to the supermarket, he met Cora. The two had stayed together for a long time. Dylan could not help recalling the blush on Cora’s face. Her side face, Her beautiful curve., She was so beautiful. Cora had to go to the company. She hadn't been there the whole morning, and there were a lot of documents waiting for her to review. As soon as she arrived at the company, her assistant told her father was asking her to meet him in his office. Cora was in confusion. Did her father know something else? After tidying up her clothes, She secretly took out a mirror to fix her makeup. When she arrived at her father's office, she saw that her father reading some documents inside. "Dad, are you looking for me?" Cora walked in and sat on the sofa opposite his desk. "This morning, your mother-in-law called me and said that she had known that you and Tristan had divorced.She seemed happy about it and she said that his Grandmother had asked you to give an explanation." "What explanation?" Cora was stunned. "Haven't you made it clear?" Shaking his head, He asked, "Sweetie, will you agree if Eugene wants to remarry you?" Cora was shocked, "Remarry? How is that possible? Alice is pregnant. " As if he had known it earlier,her father didn't show too much excitement. "Yes. I know, so. The possibility of your remarriage may not be high. If necessary, I hope you can pursue your own happiness. Don't be too paranoid to love Tristan anymore. Sweetie, don't worry.This time, for your happiness, I will spare no effort to accept your choice. In the past, I have made too many mistakes neglecting you.” Cora didn't expect her father to say that. She had forgotten how sad and powerless her father was when he saw her being unfortunate. It turned out that she was not the only one who was suffering. Such a strong father must have guessed that the flash marriage between her and Tristan was a bad decision even if Tristan was a wealthy man. *************** *CORA* I felt bad seeing my father like this. “Dad, it’s not your fault.You didn’t neglect me.It was my choice.No one forced me.I volunteered to do everything.It’s my fault that I find choose the right person.It’s not your fault.”I said, firmly. My father lifted up his head and smiled at me then he told me that I could leave now. I sighed heavily and why back to my office.I had to stay strong, for myself, for my dad,for this company. For the next few hours,I was focused on studying the cooperation contract between me and Dylan,which required both parties to see clearly the terms of the contract. Even if the cooperation was successful,Tristan was still an important partner of this company. I could only take it step by step and then eventually cut him off. If I cut him off at once,my father’s company wouldn’t go bankrupt.But I was scared Tristan might pull some strings.He had huge power in the marketing section not to mention that most businessmen listens to whatever he had to say. He could stop people from doing business with us so I had to be careful, I couldn’t let my dad’s lifelong efforts go in vain. Besides,I had already sacrificed too much. At 6:pm,it was time to get off work.I turned on my phone and checked my messages. Zoe sent a message. Zoe:How are you doing these days? I replied. Me:The situation is worse than before.Both of our families now know about our divorce and Phoebe’s existence.Plus,she’s pregnant.” After sending the message,I stood up,noticing that it was time to go home but my phone rang out. It was Zoe calling. I answered it. “Hello,Zoe.” “Cora,are you in the company?Have you had dinner yet?Let’s meet and talk.I’ll pick you up.”She said,anxiously. “Okay.I was about to head home but I’ll wait for you.” ***************** 20 minutes later, Zoe called, "Come downstairs, Cora. I'll take you to eat something delicious downstairs." After saying okay,Cora hung up the phone. Zoe was already 26 years old. And she was still single. In the final analysis, she just haven’t found the right one. Maybe it was because she found a lot of guys attractive so it was hard to choose. Moreover, Zoe’s family was rich, unless the man was from a family of equal social rank. It was rare to meet men with equal social status. Even if they were, they were affluent young playboys. 'Sure enough, it's not easy to find a mate if a woman is too good, 'Cora sighed. Cora went downstairs slowly.Zoe was downstairs. She tied her hair into a bun, looking a little nifty and younger. She was wearing a light gray dress with a waist pinched, and a pair of white high-heeled shoes of 5 centimeters high, which made her look refreshing. Even Cora couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Zoe had a good taste and had a variety of styles. Didn't she deserve to be picky? Cora blinked. Zoe rolled her eyes at Cora and said, "Cora, don't exaggerate. You are a beauty and you have to pretend that you haven't seen a woman before." Embarrassed,Cora coughed and said, "I don't usually see you in dresses! So I took a few more looks. " "That's sheer nonsense! I usually wear dresses. It's because you don't pay much attention to me!" Zoe complained. "Forget it. Get in the car. What do you want to eat tonight?" "I ate Clay cuisine at noon. I felt that I ate more than before...I'm not hungry yet. What do you want to eat? For me, any food is ok."Cora shrugged. Zoe turned on the car music and a light music with flowing water came. Leaning against the passenger seat with her eyes closed, Cora said in a soft voice, "What's this music? Very relaxing." "I downloaded it to soothe your mood. Got it? Nature's Path. "Zoe said happily. "Well, I like it. It sounds so quiet. " There was a hint of laziness in Cora’s voice. In no time, the two arrived at a western restaurant.Zoe wanted to eat steak. There were two people sitting at the table. One was lively and active, and the other was gentle and elegant. "Hello, two steaks, both well-done. A bottle of Bin95 Grange red wine." Zoe looked up at the waitress and said. The waitress had thought that the two didn't know much about steak, but she didn't expect Zoe’s order of red wine suddenly shocked her. She couldn't help but think, 'The world of the rich is really difficult to understand.' The waitress bowed respectfully, "Okay, miss. Please wait a moment." Before the steak was served,Zoe remembered the important thing that she came to see Cora. "By the way, Cora, what's wrong with you now?" Putting away the relaxed look on her face,Cora sat upright and said, "My father found out that I was married and now divorced from Tristan.Marcus of the Godoy secretly took intimate photos of Tristan and Phoebe. Then Lady Jane held a family meeting, and Tristan was forced to tell them that we had divorced. Besides, Phoebe was pregnant, so I only wanted to make a statement that I had divorced.I just want to announce it to the media but Tristan wouldn’t allow. " “Although they will know it sooner or later, it's embarrassing for them to know it now. What's wrong with Phoebe’s pregnancy?"Zoe frowned, holding her right hand with her left hand and habitually pinching it. "I don't know. I don't know if it's an excuse or the truth." The sadness in Cora’s eyes wasn’t hard to tell. "Listen to me,Cora. If you can't go back, you must make up your mind to find your own happiness.”Zoe said seriously. Cora nodded. Did everyone mean it? She didn't want be reliant on Tristan. But in her eyes, she didn't want anyone else except Tristan. Love was so rare in one's whole life. She could only love one person in her whole life. The beefsteak and red wine were served.Zoe poured a glass of wine for each. "Cora, in fact, I don't want to say these words. But today, I still want to tell you. I don't care whom you divorce, if it weren't for you, who the hell did I know him? I just want you to know that you should love yourself well. Only when you are good, can I be happy.If you are not good, I will not be happy either. People are always like this. If they didn't get along well with each other, they can break up and find their own happiness. Do you understand? " With a glass of wine in her hand, Zoe looked determined. "I understand, Zoe. Thank you for being with me all the time. Please give me some more time and I will adjust myself. Don't worry. " With a goblet in her hand,Cora looked at the red wine in the glass, which was shining with a beautiful color. She said it to Zoe, or likely to herself. "Okay. Eat the steak quickly. Don't think about these troubles. Everything will be fine. " In fact, Zoe was not good at comforting people, but when she saw the depressed look on Cora’s face, she had to be calm and speak out her innermost thoughts. Moved, Cora cut a piece of steak and handed it to Zoe. After having steaks,Zoe insisted on driving Cora home in person. When Cora got out of the car, she teased Zoe, "Why aren't you a man? If you were,I will definitely marry you." Zoe smiled, "My dear Miss, don't be ridiculous. If I were a man, I would be a perfect man. At that time,there would be many people competing with you. Maybe you will not be the one marry me." Cora rolled her eyes at Zoe and said, "Look at you. Are you puffing up with pride when I praise you?" Zoe laughed like a silver bell, "Go home, my lady. I have to go home now. Bye-bye. Call me whenever you need me." Waving her hand, Cora walked into the villa.
