Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1557

If Jeremy hadn't pulled through during that period, he would no longer exist in this world.

Courtney, "I already admitted my mistakes from before, so why can't you let go? Let me tell you one more time, no matter what, I am the one who gave life to Marc."

Giving life meant taking responsibility for a life, not abandoning it, let alone allowing it to suffer such harm. Cornelia became more annoyed as she thought about it. “Some parents are simply not qualified to be parents. You trash parents treat your children like your property. Once you have a child, you control everything about them. You keep them when you want, discard them when you don’t, and even harm them cruelly. You never realize that a child is not your property and not an object. A child is an independent living individual. A child’s life belongs to the child alone, and no one has the right to control it.”

Courtney, “What are you talking about? How could he be my property? Look at his temperament, he dealt with his own father so ruthlessly. How could I control him?”

Cornelia felt uncomfortable listening to her and remained silent.

Courtney, however, kept on babbling, as if she had finally found someone to vent to about Jeremy. "He's an emotionless, cold-blooded creature..."d2

Cornelia cut Courtney off coldly. "From what I know about my husband, he is a dutiful and kind person. Do you not know what Brennen has done? He hurt Marc so much. Isn't Marc allowed to fight back?"

What kind of person Jeremy really was didn’t matter to Courtney. What mattered was whether Cornelia could help her make amends with Jeremy and get what she wanted. "Yes, Marc is a dutiful son. He listens to you very well. You should persuade him to forgive his mother."

Cornelia, "Whether he forgives you or not, only he can decide. I can't possibly help you persuade him to do something against his will."

Courtney, "So you're not going to help me?"

Cornelia, "I won't."
