Chapter 1340
He was worried she’d shoulder all the blame, beat herself up, and have a breakdown. So, when he wasn’t sure if he
could hang on, he had to coldly push her away, make her hate him and feel disgusted with him.
Only in this way, when his endgame rolled around, she wouldn’t feel pain, nor would she pin all the mistakes on
herself.
He knew her personality. She was super sensitive when it came to fidelity in marriage, so he roped her sister into a
sham to deceive her. He knew, the moment Cornelia started to suspect his unfaithfulness, she’d definitely want a
divorce.
Sure enough, not long after he pulled this stunt, Cornelia came to him, coolly asking for a divorce. It was earlier

He knew, Cornelia’s heart wasn’t as calm as it seemed on the surface. And he knew, Cornelia would definitely feel
pain and heartbreak.
But he thought a one-time pain was better than enduring it constantly. And this pinch of pain was definitely lighter
than losing a loved one. So, he chose to do it this way.
For a whopping two hundred and three days, he didn’t see her. During these time, even though not seeing her, he
kept tabs on everything happening to
her.
“Cornelia, Cornelia.” He murmured.
His hands trembling, and he carefully pressed thern against the computer screen. It didn’t have any warmth, but
his excitement was through the roof. She always told people that she didn’t have any special reactions during her
pregnancy, that she ate and slept well.
But he knew her pregnancy couldn’t be as easy as she made it sound. She was just used to not causing trouble for
others, hence she told people her pregnancy was a breeze.
In the surveillance footage, Cornelia picked up an interesting book, sat by the window and read intently. She was
lost in the world of the book, and an afternoon just passed like that.
During this time, Goldie didn’t disturb her. Only the servants came in to refill her water a few times.
At dinner, Goldie wanted to keep Cornelia for the meal. But Cornelia declined, saying her grandpa was waiting for
her to have dinner at home.
Then, Goldie insisted on bringing her home. After seeing Cornelia safely back, Goldie visibly breathed a sigh of
relief.
Once she got home, dinner was ready. Grandpa Augustine was waiting for her to eat.

Cornelia sat down to eat with him. After a few bites, she put down her fork and knife, “Grandpa, I’m full. I’m going
to rest.”
Grandpa Augustine asked worriedly, “You’ve only had a little, you’re full already? Are you feeling unwell? Should I
call a doctor for you?”
Cornelia replied, “I ate a lot at Goldie’s at noon. She made me lots of desserts in the afternoon. I couldn’t control
myself and ate too much.” Grandpa Augustine said, “Then you should take some rest.”
Cornelia said, “Okay.”
After going back to her room, she thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and prepared to send a message to
Goldie.
