Chapter 1320
Jarvis said. “Comelia, running away from your problems wont solve anything. You gotta face them head on.”
Comelia answered, “Who says I’m not facing them? I just chose the life I wanted. Not every woman dreams of
being married. My child not only has my love, but also the love of many others. So what if she has a little less of a
dad’s love?”
Jarvis was quiet for a moment.
Comelia continued, “Jarvis, you’re a catch. I’m sure there are tons of girls who are into you. What I can’t wrap my
head around is why you’re so hung up on a pregnant woman like me. You got some kind of kink or something?

Comelia answered “Of course, those were my favorite parts of college. I’d jump at the chance to engage with the
professors, But how do you know about that?”
Jarvis said “Because I was there too, and I noticed you were there?
Comelia asked, “But those were at the University of Riverton, what were you doing there?”
Jarvis asked, “What if I told you I was a student at the University of Riverton too?”
Comelia exclaimed, “I thought you graduated from Capital College!
Jarvis answered, “Who told you I graduated from there?”
Comelia said, “I remember Grandpa Augustine saying that when he introduced you.”
Jarvis was quiet for a moment. His friends, they were really unreliable.
Comelia jokingly said, “Don’t tell me you’ve had a crush on me since then.” Her words were light–hearted.
But Jarvis nodded, “Yes, I’ve liked you since then. I wanted to pursue you, but I heard you’d been hurt, so I
hesitated. I decided to wait until you graduated. But when you did, I had to go back to the Capital for some
business. I was gone for a few months, and by the time I came back to Riverton to find you, you were already
married to someone else. I knew I’d missed my chance, so I kept my feelings to myself and focused on my work.
But then, you suddenly reappeared in my life:
Comelia asked, “When?”
Jarvis said, “When Old Augustine recognized his granddaughter‘
Comelia asked, “You were there that day?”
He was! He was always there. But she never saw him.

Jarvis said with a hint of sadness, “You know how big a deal Old Augustine is in the Capital. Even if he didn’t make a
public announcement, everyone in our circle knew. So did I. I was at the banquet that day, watching you from afar
when you were chatting affectionately with the man next to you. That day, I decided I had to forget you completely.
But just when I thought I could, Old Augustine approached me, saying he wanted to introduce me to someone,
asking if I was interested. I said no, but then he mentioned you. So, I changed my mind, and agreed to meet with
you.”
Comelia was quiet.
Jarvis asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
