Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385
The show lasted for hours, and they had dinner for hours too. By the end of the show, it was still early.
Briana raised her hand and suggested, “Hey bro, while it’s still early, should we do something else?”
Marcus turned to Cornelia and asked, “Do you want to do anything else?”
Cornelia had been busy for most of the day and had a long dinner in the evening. She was very tired. When Marcus looked at her, she was yawning and said, “President Hartley, I don’t really feel like doing anything.”
Marcus said, “Alright then, let’s call it a night and head home.”
Comelia was about to start cleaning up the leftover food on the table when Marcus quickly stopped her, “I’ve already called someone to clean up; you can just go rest.”
It would take some time to clean up the leftovers. Cornelia felt relieved now that she didn’t have to do it herself. After saying goodnight to everyone, she went back to her room.
Once in her room, she immediately took a shower. After the shower, she laid down on her bed, picked up her phone, and opened the group chat with the other two. It was almost 2 a.m. there, and Zack and Abigail had not yet responded to her new year’s wishes that she had sent at midnight.
In the past, they would always send greetings in the group chat at the moment the New Year’s bell rang. This year, she was not there; perhaps they had forgotten about her.
It was also possible that they did not receive her message, so Cornelia copied and pasted her previous message and sent it again, “Zack, Abby, Happy New Year! Let’s make big bucks this year!”
After sending the message, Cornelia waited for a while but still did not get a reply. Little did she know/Abigail’s place was in a mess.
Earlier that night, because of Cornelia, Abigail almost got into a conflict.
Abigail’s father had five siblings and he was the oldest. He had three younger sisters and the youngest one was his brother, who was ten years younger than Abigail’s father.
Since her brother was the youngest and had been spoilt by his parents, older brother and sisters, since childhood, he had never worked a day in his life. His wife was also bought with a hefty dowry.
Thinking that their son would change for the better after getting married, his parents were disappointed when they found out that his wife was also incapable of managing a household.
When Abigail’s grandparents were alive, this brother and his wife lived off them. They even had a son, and the entire family relied on the meager income of the grandparents.
After the grandparents passed away, he claimed to go find work but would disappear for months. The only time he would call home was when he needed money. Instead of sending money home from his work, he asked for money from home.
His wife couldn’t find him, so she always went to Abigail’s father. Every year, she would bring her son to their house for the New Year.
She claimed that her husband was working out of town and that all his earnings were being spent by other women. He didn’t send a dime home or come home for the New Year. She had no choice but to bring her son to visit her in-laws.
This had been their routine every year, and Abigail was used to it.
