Chapter 1317
Cornelia asked “Who put you up to this, huh?”
Emily said “My mom did”
Comelia said, “Oh and let me guess, Alfredo’s wife and the rest of them are also whispering in your ear?”
Emily nodded, “Yeah, she said that everyone watched Jarvis grow up. They know him well and they’d feel better if
you were with him.”
Comelia said, “Next time you want something, just tell me directly. I’ll get it for you. No need to pass on messages.”
Emily said “7 genuinely think Jarvis is a great guy”
Jarvis had indeed been quite good to Comelia over the past few months. But Comelia had already made it clear that
she had rejected him. Not only did she not have feelings for him, more importantly, she didn’t plan on getting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarried again. She planned to have her child and raise it on her own.
“Emily, who told you to spout nonsense in front of Comelia?” The man they’d been discussing suddenly appeared
before them, looking sternly at Emily.
Emily said “I wasn’t spouting nonsense”
Jarvis reached out and grabbed Emily’s ear, “Who bought you the Iron Man toy? Spill it!”
Emily said. “Alright, alright. I’ll tell the truth. It wasn’t you who asked me to do this, it was my big brother.”
Jarvis let go of Emily and looked awkwardly at Cornelia, “You heard that, right? I didn’t tell him to spread rumors.
It’s already great that I can be your friend. I don’t have any other intentions towards you.”
Comeka said, “Why are you out and about, besides staying at home?”
Jarvis said. “You’re going to the prayer ceremony, I thought I’d tag along.”
The Duran family was large and had a lot of traditions. Plus, this was Cornelia’s first Christmas with the Durans
since Grandpa Augustine recognized her, so things were more complicated.
The most important event was the prayer ceremony to remember the ancestors of the Duran family. It was a
grueling process. By the time they were done with the whole thing, even a grown man would be exhausted, let
alone a pregnant woman.
But for the Duran family, these rituals were essential. Only after all these rituals would Cornelia truly be considered
part of the family. Grandpa Augustine, worried about Cornelia’s health, simplified the process as much as he could.
But it still took no less than four hours.
There were still a lot of things to do after the ceremony. Cornelia wouldn’t get any rest that day. So Jarvis had come
early in the morning just to look after her.
Comelia said, “Jarvis, you really are a good man, but…”
Jarvis interrupted her, “I know you’re not into me. You don’t need to keep reminding me. I don’t have feelings for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou either, can you stop overthinking it?”
Comelia looked at him, Tm not stupid.”
Any woman would be able to tell if a man had feelings for her unless she was a complete fool. And the way Jarvis
looked at her was too intense. It was as if they’d known each other for a long time, not just a few months.
Jarvis said, “I’m not doing this for you, stop overthinking it.”
Comelia wasn’t sure why he was so persistent, but it wasn’t good. She didn’t want to hold him back, “Jarvis, maybe I
could set you up with someone? My best friend is single and she’s ready to date, why don’t you two give it a shot?”
Hearing this, even the good–natured Jarvis was a bit annoyed, “Cornelia!”
Comelia said, “If you don’t want to, just say so. No need to raise your voice.”
Jarvis said, “You said you’re not stupid, so you should know how I feel about you. You know I like you and yet you’re
pushing me towards someone else. Do you know how much that hurts?”
Comelia said, Tm curious, why do you like me?”
