Hannah said, "You know, I think you're right. I'll have a baby with Steven, but remarriage? I'll think about that later."
Cornelia laughed, "Sure, you can get remarried anytime you want. But these single, free days are hard to come by."
Hannah turned her head and stared at Cornelia, "From your tone, did you and your man have a fight? But I find it hard to believe, he loves you so much, how could he bear to argue with you?"
Cornelia replied, "Even the best of couples are still two different people. Sometimes teeth bite tongues, so what's so strange about couples quarreling?"
Hannah, "I'm curious, what causes you two to argue?"
Cornelia sighed, "It's all about our child's future schooling and settling down."d2
Hannah chuckled, "Hope is barely a year old and you guys are already arguing about where he'll go to school and settle down?"
Cornelia, "Jeremy is a very systematic man. He's planned every step of Hope's future. When he'll start school, what he needs to learn by ten, when he can start dating, when he should get married, when he should have kids, and so on.
“But I believe a child's life is their own. We, as parents, should provide a good environment for them to live and learn. As for their future development, they should choose it themselves."
Hannah looked shocked, "Isn't this what they call control freak?"
Cornelia shook her head, "I understand why he's like this. His parents never cared about him and even did many things to hurt him. He constantly reminds himself not to be like his parents and to be a good father to his child. He's just overdoing it because it's his first time being a father."
Hannah, "Since you know the reason, don't blame him. Talk to him properly."
Cornelia nodded, "I'll talk to him later. I won't be mad at him anymore. Last night, I made him sleep in the guest room, and now I feel guilty."
