Chapter 171
âThen let him chase you!â Abigail poked her forehead in frustration, âWhy are you so clueless? The guy is so handsome. Itâs not a loss to be pursued by him! Cornelia wished she could slap her, âHeâs a married man, if I let him chase me, Iâm the third wheel I refuse to be the other womanâ
Abigail was very good at focusing. From the sound of it, if he was unmarried, youâd let him chase you?â
It was not impossible if both of them were unmarried Cornelia was startled by the thought that popped into her head and quickly waved her hands, âimpossible
Abigail If I could spend a night with such a handsome man, even if itâs just one night, I could die in peace.â
Zack kicked her, âGet some ambition, missyâ
Cornella knocked on both of them, âQuit fooling around, Iâm serious, help me think of a way outâ
Zack, âHe just announced his marriage not long ago, and now he wants to pursue you, heâs obviously a scumbag The further you stay from this kind of man the better, just quit your job.â
âWith the high mortgage I have to pay every month, I canât afford to quit now âOn the way back, Cornelia thought, if Marcus really wanted to chase her, she could only quit. She would never submit to his authority. But thinking of the mortgage, she had to give up this idea.
Abigail, âAre you sure he wants to chase you?â
Cornelia, âAm I sure? Iâm not so sure!â
Abigail, Tell me, what did he do to make you think this? Did he kiss you forcibly or suggest he wants to sleep with you?â
Cornelia shook her head, âNo such overstepping behaviors. Itâs just that I feel heâs being too good to me. Especially the things he said to me today, those should be said to his wife, not meâ
Abigail had a bright idea, âCould it be that hes being nice to you to show off to his wife?â
Cornelia, âWhat do you mean?â
Abigail, âHeâs using you to make his wife jealous. If his wife loves him and sees him spending time with a young and beautiful assistant, sheâll definitely be jealous. If sheâs jealous, it means she still loves him. Then itâs easier for him to make up with herâ
Abigails words made Cornelia understand all at once, âYouâre so smart, why didnât I think of it?â
How could she be so naive to believe that Marcus wanted to pursue her! She was just a tool to him.
If Marcus had told her this earlier, she would have put on the best performance to make his wife jealous.
Abigail, âThis is all from experience. It has nothing to do with intelligence.â
Zack thought Abigailâs analysis was unreliable, Your only romance ended before it even began, where did you get your experience?â
Abigail, âThatâs how itâs written in novels.â
Zack, âOh boy, donât listen to her ramblings.â
After confirming that Marcus had no inappropriate intentions towards her, Cornelia felt much more relaxed, âAlright, as long as Marcus doesnât really want to pursue me, Iâm not worried. Let me eat something. I have to go back to the Blueshell Mansion after.â
Zack asked. âYouâre going back?â
Cornelia replied. âSkyler Blue lives there alone, Iâm worried about herâ
After dinner, Cornelia packed two sets of clothes and returned to the Blueshell Mansion
The mansion was huge but no lights were on. She thought Skyler had rested, so she didnât think much of it.
When Cornelia returned to her room and was ready to go to bed after a shower, she noticed an envelope on her pillow.
