Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 237

If it were anything else, Cornelia might not be able to offer any useful advice and could only serve as a listening ear for Hannah.

But this time, as the original creator, she had every right to weigh in.

After hearing Hannah's name, Cornelia spoke gently, "Hannah, everyone has their own interpretation of a character. Don't sweat over what the original author thinks; just perform based on your understanding."

"I've always done that; it's just this time..." Hannah wasn't sure if Cornelia could grasp her anxiety—that when you care about something so much, you fret more about not doing it well.

"Hannah, would you like to hear my take on Ashley?" Cornelia's voice was soft; it had a soothing effect.

Hannah exclaimed with surprise, "That would be great; tell me your interpretation."

"Ashley was born in turbulent times with no family to protect her; her tragic fate was predetermined. But she refused to accept it; she resorted to extreme measures and betrayed herself to get a new lease on life. She was strong-willed; she had her convictions, and she made those who bullied her and looked down on her unable to compete with her. She did it, but at the same time, she lost the most important thing." The character Ashley was something Cornelia put a lot of time and effort into creating, but she never gave the character an ending.

Many readers hoped that the author could give Ashley a perfect ending. Cornelia, too, hoped Ashley could be happier than anyone else.

But some of the things Ashley had done were too brutal, and due to the circumstances, it seemed impossible to have a good ending.

Hannah asked, "Cornelia, do you think Ashley will survive in the end? Will she be happy?"

Cornelia smiled and said, "The author didn't paint an ending, perhaps to let the readers decide for themselves. If you wish for her to survive and lead a happy life, then she definitely will."

Hannah sighed. "After all she's been through, I hope she can survive and have a good life in the future."
