Chapter 1341
Cornelia quickly typed: [Goldie, really appreciate your hospitality, had a blast today.]
Goldie replied instantly: [As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. Nelly, you gotta visit more often.]
While sending this message, Jeremy was grinning from ear to ear, his face lighting up. He was really happy today. Even his usually poor appetite was gone and he had a good meal.
In the afternoon, while Cornelia was immersed in her books in the study on the second floor, Jeremy sat at his computer on the third floor, watching her. Then, he received another message from Cornelia and his happiness doubled. He was over the moon. But the next second, he saw another message from Cornelia: [Goldie, do you have anything or anyone you care about a lot?]
Jeremy replied: [Sure do.]
Cornelia asked: [Who is it?
Who was it?
Jeremy really wanted to say, “It’s you and our baby.” But he couldn’t.
Just as he was hesitating, Cornelia sent another message: [The baby in my belly, is the most precious thing to me right now. If anyone tries to separate me from my baby, I’ll fight them tooth and nail.]
Jeremy was not sure if Cornelia sensed any danger: [Why do you think someone wants to separate you from your baby?]
Cornelia replied: [Just a gut feeling!]
Jeremy replied: [Don’t worry, no one will be able to do that.]
Cornelia said: [Goldie…]
Jeremy asked: [Yes?]
Instead of replying, Cornelia sent a video call request.
Jeremy was almost going to accept the call while typing. Luckily, he was quick enough to decline the video call: [Cornelia, I’m in the shower right now, can’t do a video call.]
Cornelia replied: [Sorry.]
Jeremy asked: [Is it urgent? I can call you after my shower.]
Cornelia replied: [No, it’s nothing urgent. I hit the wrong button. Goldie, I’m going to sleep now, goodnight.]
Cornelia’s video call was to confirm her hunch.
If Goldie had accepted the call right away, she might have been overthinking. If Goldie didn’t accept the call and made excuses, then it was very likely that the Goldie chatting with her online was not the Goldie she met in the afternoon.
When “Goldie” declined the call, Cornelia confirmed her suspicion.
“What do they take me for?” She scoffed and deleted Goldie from her contacts.
