Chapter 1025
“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.”
