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, âIs Abigail still sleeping? Should I bring some food to her house?
âNo need, weâll be right overâ Cornelia msponded
After hanging up. Cornelia pulled Abigail up, âCome on, letâs go eat. Have a good meal, take a nap, and tomorrow is a new day.â
âRight, no hurdle is too high to get overâ Abigail forced a smile.
After the meal, Cornelia wanted to stay and take care of Abigail, but she refused. âCome take care of me during the day tomorrow. But for tonight, you have to go home,
donât leave Marcus alone.â
Zack chimed in, Ill be here with Abby, you can go home without worry.â
Cornelia could only nod, âOkayâ
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 wasnât inside taking care of Marcus, she was standing at the door, looking around.
As soon as Cornelia drove into the yard, Patricia hurried over, âNelly, Marcus is home.â
âYeah, I knowâ Cornelia nodded, not sure how to feel.
Patricia frowned, âAnd he brought Tahliaâ
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
âWhat a loser!â She scolded herself.
âTahlia is Marcusâ personal assistant, itâs perfectly normal for her to be with him.â 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
âYouâre home.â Cornelia walked over and said with a smile.
âYeahâ Marcus glanced at her.
Just a glance, then his focus shifted back to Tahlia
âNelly, youâre back.â Tahlia said.
âYeah. Have you had dinner?â Cornelia responded
âNot yet. Waiting for youâ Tahlia said.
âIâve already eaten out. You guys enjoy your meal, I wonât join you.â Cornelia said, preparing to leave.
As she was about to head upstairs, Tahlia stopped her, âNelly, Marcus arranged a place for me to stay. Iâve already moved out of your place in Lakeview Estates.â
âReally?â Cornelia asked
Cornelia turned back to look at Marcus, but he wasnât looking at her.
Cornelia gave a slight laugh, walked up the stairs, then walked back down. She handed Marcus a document and said, âPresident Hartley, Iâve had a lawyer draft up a divorce agreement. Take a look, if thereâs no problem, sign your name.â
