Chapter 911 He Is The One And Only
Tanya stared at Hermes and continued, “Grandpa, I know that, as a member of the Cullen family, I’m not supposed to decide my own marriage. I have known that my marriage has to benefit our family since I was young. But I’m so grateful to learn that I love Michael. With that, I can both marry the love of my life and make our family business flourish.”
Tanya’s voice was firm. There was a hint of sincerity in her eyes as she stared at Hermes. Hermes was a little stunned. “Tanya…”
At this, he could not help but sigh. “I know. I naturally can see the benefits of it. But Michael is a divorced man.”
“I don’t mind.”
“What I meant was, Ivanka never won his heart. She had worked hard for three years, only to receive nothing in return. On top of that, they were once childhood sweethearts. Can’t you sense his frigid heart?”
“That’s because they bore grudges against each other,” said Tanya unhesitatingly. “Michael never liked Ivanka. She’s the one who took the initiative to get together with him. She even set up a scheme with her father to force Michael to marry her. Michael had always played a passive role in the marriage. Their behavior before the public was all but a sham. You can see that they were not a loving couple.”
Hermes shook his head. “Silly girl. Indeed, he wasn’t in love with Ivanka back then. But don’t you see how Ivanka made a comeback after her divorce?”
Tanya’s expression changed slightly. For a moment, her heart ached. It was as if someone had squeezed it.
She knew just how good she was, to the point that she found no one could compare to her.
She did not have a great sense of superiority. She just knew she was better because her family had given her the best of everything. Hence, she never had to envy others, not that there was anything worthy for her to be envious over.
Everything except Michael. She envied that Ivanka had once owned Michael and could affect Michael even to this day.
Hermes naturally saw the hint of doubt in her eyes. He sighed resignedly and said, “Now, Michael has feelings for Ivanka. Everyone can sense that. I also had someone to sound him out, and it’s true. I hope you can get over this.”
Tanya’s expression changed. The next moment, she shook her head. “No. I won’t ever change my mind about this. I won’t marry anyone else except Michael. I’ve seen the best of him, and I can no longer accept anyone else.”
“There are a lot of excellent men in this world, and Michael is not the only one.”
Tanya laughed mockingly. “Are you talking about Jonah from Sadler’s Group? Ivanka is his current crush too.”
Hermes instantly felt irritated with Tanya’s refusal to realize her mistakes. “Look. Why do you only look highly upon Michael? Jonah’s cousin, Sebastian Sadler, has his own company too. He’s as great as the Barkworth family. He’s a decent man living a decent life. Doesn’t that make him a better candidate than Michael? Sebastian can be a good candidate too.”
Tanya pursed her lips. “Even if he is an excellent man, I don’t want to pay attention to him, nor do I have time to make myself distracted from Michael.”
Tanya only had Michael in her heart. Michael was the one and only.
No one else could win her heart.
“You’re driving me to an early grave! Sebastian’s father died when he was only a teenager. He worked on his own to build his career throughout the years. He’s just as excellent as Michael.”
