Chapter 1249
Nancy was left staring at Zoe-was she lecturing her?!
What gave her the right?!
How was it Zoe's business how she raised her daughter?!
"Of course, it's just a suggestion.’ Zoe shrugged. "What you do with Cora is all your business."
Nancy had to stop herself from saying what was on the tip of her tongue, though she suddenly felt as if Zoe was
taking her for a ride.
"Alright, I’m going over there-my friends are waiting for me," Zoe said, twirling her wine glass. "Enjoy the party,
sister."
And with that, she left.
Nancy inhaled deeply in turn, feeling like she could get a heart attack everytime Zoe called her 'sister'... and she
had to do it so naturally!
"Mom, what were you talking with Zoe about?" Cora asked, walking up to her just then.
"Nothing." Nancy was not in the mood to tell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCora did not ask in turn. After all, there was nothing she could do about Zoe when Zoe was so thick-skinned, and
right now, she was more concerned about her relationship with Bob and was not in the mood to care about
anything else.
"Mom," she said. "Could you talk to Bob's mom? He's not listening to me at all, but he'll listen to his mother. You
know Mrs. Davis, so you can ask her to talk to Bob again-'
"Cora," Nancy said, cutting her short.
Then, as Cora stared at her in shock, she finished, "I think you should learn to fight for yourself already."
Cora stared at Nancy in disbelief, unsure what had gotten into her mother.
Her mother had always agreed to her every request, never saying no to anything.
What had gotten into her today?!
"I just think it's time you grow up," Nancy continued bluntly. "You're not young, so don't keep relying on me. I'll
eventually be too old to help- moreover, this is your relationship. If we old folks meddle, it changes the entire
relationship itself. This time, I believe you should try to fight for it yourself."
"B-But Bob doesn't love me," Cora groaned reluctantly.
"Exactly. Do you think the marriage would be happy if we forced him to be with you? A loveless marriage is just a
house of cards-it'd collapse from the slightest touch," Nancy said bluntly then.

"It's late now. I'm going home," Nancy suddenly said. "Stay here if you want. Or come home with me."
Cora was stunned again.
Before this, Nancy would definitely ask Cora to go home with her-Nancy would at least never leave Cora outside
alone this late at night, even if she was in a safe place. There were times when filming dragged late into the night,
and Nancy would be there in person to keep her company.
Really, what had gotten into Nancy today?
"I'll stay here," Cora said-she wanted to keep trying because Bob has not left yet.

"Okay," Nancy replied shortly and left right away.
Cora watched as Nancy left with increasing confusion, but she did not dwell on the matter as she turned toward
Bob, who was laughing and chatting with Sam and the others.
She had always lacked confidence and was tentative when it comes to socializing, and she now became afraid to
get close.
She inadvertently spotted Zoe just then, who was ever bold and down-to- earth, mingling with everyone with
perfect ease even if she was not the only host.
Cora pursed her lips, unable to hide her envy just then.
John was gone for a while, and when he returned, he told Cordy, "Time to go."
"Leaving so early? Isn't that inappropriate?" Cordy asked.
"I spoke to Jay. He and Zoe will handle things from here."
"Is that really alright?" Cordy was a little reluctant.
"What's not alright? Did you forget that Zoe dumped you in the afternoon for her beauty sleep?"
Cordy was stumped because that was actually true. "Come on," John said, taking Cordy's hand right then.
