Chapter 514 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

“Have you always been a fan of blue? Or did you like other colors when you were younger?” Cornelia asked with a poker face, her heart pounding like a wild tide. Yesterday, she read a passage in Granny Rebecca’s diary Granny Rebecca mentioned that her mother had a young girl’s heart and her favorite color was pink, especially pink bows. But now, Clair claimed her favorite color to be blue. So, did this mean this wasn’t her mother? Not necessarily, people’s tastes could change over time. After asking, Cornelia quietly waited for Clair’s response. Maybe her urgency gave it away and raised Clair’s suspicion. Clair gave her a vague response with a smile, “I can’t remember. All I know is that I’ve been loving blue lately.” Clair handed Cornelia a cup of coffee, “Nelly, when I left you and your father, I had no other choice. It was only after I left your father that I realized I was pregnant.” As Clair kept talking, Comelia was fiddling with her coffee cup. Suddenly, the cup fell and shattered. Clair was startled and saw Cornelia squatting down to pick up the pieces, “Nelly, let the waiter clean it u. Don’t hurt yourself.” Comelia squatted down, picking up the shards, “I’ll clean it up.” A look of contempt flashed in Clair’s eyes. Despite being married to a noble man like Marcus, Cornelia couldn’t hide her small-town roots. She couldn’t just stand there watching Cornelia clean up, so she pretended to be helpful, “Let me help you.” “No need!” Cornelia pushed her hand away, accidentally cutting Clair’s hand. The cut wasn’t big or painful, but it enraged the beauty-conscious Clair who nearly lost her temper. She took great care of herself and would never allow any scars, “Nelly, I need to treat the wound, I’ll leave you now. Bring Natalia next time, we can hang out. ” With that said, Clair hurriedly left, fearing the wound would heal if she waited any longer. Cornelia collected the shards stained with Clair’s blood, then called Tahlia, “Tahlia, are you done?” Tahlia said, “I’ve completed the hiring process, I’ll start work tomorrow.” Comelia said, “Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up.” Tahlia said, “I’m at the Hartley Group headquarters.” Cornelia said, “Wait for me, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” The place where Cornelia met Clair wasn’t far from the Hartley Group, a mere ten-minute walk, plus she drove. After picking up Tahlia, Cornelia headed out of the city. Tahlia looked at Cornelia, seemingly with a lot to say, but eventually kept quiet, “Cornelia, even though we just became sisters, I really love you. If only one of us could survive, I would definitely give you the chance to live.” Cornelia freed one hand and gently touched Tahlia’s face, “We’re both going to make it, let our grandma and dad in heaven know we’re doing okay.” Tahlia asked, “Where are we going next?” Comelia answered, “I haven’t been to the seaside for a long time, I want to take you for a walk there. You start work tomorrow, so we won’t have as much free time.” Tahlia responded enthusiastically, “Great!” It was not that Cornelia was overly suspicious, she just liked to stay on her toes. If someone had bugged her and was tracking her every move, ready to outmaneuver her. There was no way she would have gotten the accurate DNA report today. In the morning. Tahlia got up super early and was soon snoozing away. Cornelia hit the road, speeding towards the city next to Riverton. About two hours later, Cornelia pulled off the highway and drove to the DNA testing center in the city next to Riverton. Once she parked the car, she woke up Tahlia, “Tahlia, we’re here. Get out of the car.” Tahlia groggily opened her eyes, “Are we at the beach?” Cornelia responded, “No, we’re in the city next to Riverton. I got a blood sample from Clair, and we’re going to do a DNA test.” Tahlia was a bit confused, “What?” Cornelia didn’t have time to explain, “Just come with me, I’ll fill you in later.” Cornelia took Tahlia to the staff, completed the necessary paperwork. They both gave their samples, then sat quietly waiting. Tahlia was visibly anxious, “What if I’m not your real sister. Cornelia responded, “Whether we’re blood sisters or not, as long as you’re willing to call me your sister, you’re my real sister.” Tahlia said, “I definitely will.” Cornelia took Tahlia’s hand, her heart filled with unease. She didn’t want a mother like Clair, but she was also scared that Clair wasn’t her real mother. If it was confirmed that Clair wasn’t her mother, that would mean her real mother was likely already dead. Otherwise, no one would be impersonating her. The results would take a few hours. Cornelia silently waited there for several hours.
