Chapter 1226
Cornelia got it. Abigail was all chatty and happy before she left, talking about whether the baby in her tummy was a boy or a girl. Now, it seemned, life was full of surprises
Cornelia held Abigail, sitting with her in silence. Then, the phone rang
Cornelia picked it up right away, and heard Zack asking, “Is Abigail still sleeping? Should I bring some food to her house?
“No need, we’ll be right over” Cornelia msponded
After hanging up. Cornelia pulled Abigail up, “Come on, let’s go eat. Have a good meal, take a nap, and tomorrow is a new day.”
“Right, no hurdle is too high to get over” Abigail forced a smile.
After the meal, Cornelia wanted to stay and take care of Abigail, but she refused. “Come take care of me during the day tomorrow. But for tonight, you have to go home,
don’t leave Marcus alone.”
Zack chimed in, Ill be here with Abby, you can go home without worry.”
Cornelia could only nod, “Okay”
To keep Zack and Abigail from worrying. Comella went back to the Celestial Chateau. It was a bit of a drive from Lakeview Estates to Celestial Chateau, even without traffic,
it would take more than half an hour. As soon as she got to the mansion, she could see the lights on in the main building
Marcus must be home. But Patricia wasn’t inside taking care of Marcus, she was standing at the door, looking around.
As soon as Cornelia drove into the yard, Patricia hurried over, “Nelly, Marcus is home.”
“Yeah, I know” Cornelia nodded, not sure how to feel.
Patricia frowned, “And he brought Tahlia”
Hearing this, Cornelia thought back to the scene she saw at the Hartley Group headquarters. She thought she could handle it, but it still hurt
“What a loser!” She scolded herself.
“Tahlia is Marcus‘ personal assistant, it’s perfectly normal for her to be with him.” Cornelia told Patricia.
When Cornelia walked in and saw Marcus and Tahlia laughing and chatting in the living room, all her pretense nearly crumbled. But she kept her emotions in check
“You’re home.” Cornelia walked over and said with a smile.
“Yeah” Marcus glanced at her.
Just a glance, then his focus shifted back to Tahlia
“Nelly, you’re back.” Tahlia said.
