Chapter 1018

Abigail said. “Your hubby’s around I better not go in I gotta keep a decent distance

Comelia asked, “Didn’t you used to enjoy his company? Why the sudden change of heart?”

Abigail replied. “My boyfriend gets ridiculously jealous Just yesterday when he was leaving Rosenberg he told me to keep my eyes off other guys

Cornelia asked. “What’s wrong with looking at other guys? Just because you’re seeing someone doesn’t mean you’re blind

Abigail said, “I agree, but he said it makes him jealous, and he had a point. If I’ve decided to marry him, I should mspect his feelings and keep my contact with other guys to

a minimum”

Comelia said. “Abby this sounds a bit off

Abigail cut her off, “Enough about that, I gotta go. Hit me up if you need something”

Comelia watched Abigail leave, and as she withdrew her gaze, she caught Tahlia’s

Comelia rubbed her head and asked. “What’s up. Tahlia?”

Tahlia wrapped her arms around Cornelia and started sobbing “Cornelia…”

Comelia asked. “What’s wrong, why are you crying?”

Tahlia said, “I couldn’t reach you earlier and I was scared. I was afraid I couldn’t find you, afraid of losing you.”

Cornelia gently patted her back and said, “That won’t happen. We’ll always be together. Marcus is here too, go say hi and then we can sort through our grandma’s stuff

Tahlia asked. “I thought he wasn’t coming to Rosenberg. Why is he here?”

Comelia replied, “He’s here for some business.”

Tahlia said, “Cornelia”

Cornelia said, “Speak your mind, Tahlia I’m your sister, no need to hold back.”

Tahlia said, “Once we’re back in Riverton, I think I’m going to rent my own place. I still have some savings that should last me until I find a job. I’m an adult now, and since I used to have a thing for Marc, it feels a bit weird to live with you guys.”

Cornelia said, “You can stay at my place for now, no need to go anywhere else. Once you’re financially stable, you can think about moving out. If it makes you uncomfortable, I won’t let Marcus come around when you’re there.”

Upon hearing this, Tahlia felt even more awkward. “But it’s your house and he’s your husband. It doesn’t feel right for me to be there and have him not come.”

Cornelia said, “You’re my sister and I’m your sister. Don’t ever say that again.”

Tahlia said, “Alright, I’ll take your word for it” She took Cornelia’s kindness to heart.

She also made a silent vow to work hard, earn money, and become stronger so she could protect Cornelia.

Granny Rebecca didn’t leave much behind, hardly anything of value. Cornelia had some savings and bought Granny Rebecca a fridge worth over a thousand dollars. But after they moved to Riverton, the fridge was sold by Robison and his wife

The most abundant things left were books, most of which were textbooks from Granny Rebecca’s teaching days, each annotated meticulously by her. As Cornelia was sorting through the books, she came across a notebook wrapped in old newspaper

Opening the cover, she saw Granny Rebecca’s handwriting. She kept flipping the pages, and when she saw the contents of the second page, her mind went blank
