She didn't expect that even the seemingly harmonious couple, Hannah and Steven, would have issues. Being single ain't so bad after all, saving you all this lovey-dovey headache.
Now that they've hit this topic, how could they possibly let Cornelia off the hook? "Cornelia, how about you? How'd you and your husband meet?"
With all eyes on her, Cornelia had to give an answer, "We met through a blind date."
The three of them chimed in simultaneously, "Seriously? A blind date?"
Cornelia, on the brink of divorce, didn't really want to discuss Jeremy. But they were all waiting for her answer, so she had no choice, "Our grandmas are old pals, they really wanted us to get married. So, we tied the knot."
Hannah chimed in again, "It doesn't matter how you met. What matters is whether he truly cares about you, whether he loves and respects you. If not, you'd better call it off. Don't let the elders call the shots for your happiness."
Cornelia found this very reasonable, "Mmm, thanks for the advice!"
"Miss..." A waiter arrived with a fruit platter and hot drinks, interrupting their chat. "The young master asked what you and your friends would like to eat tonight, so he can prepare it."
Skyler Blue shuddered at his words. The hot spring water suddenly felt like ice, sending chills down her spine. "Zavier's here?"
Cornelia, sitting closest to Skyler Blue, was the first to notice her change of mood. She grabbed Skyler's hand, "Skyler..."
Skyler Blue shook her head, "I'm okay."
