Chapter 462
This was reality, the harsh reality Zack didnât want to accept it, but he couldnât change it nor protect Cornelia from getting hurt.
That was the real shit he cared about
Cornelia got it. âZack, Iâm a grown woman I can look after myself. You donât owe me anything, no need to beat yourself up.â
Zack said. âI know youâre tough as nails, but that doesnât mean we donât need each other.â
Cornelia chuckled, âWeâve got our place together, you think we can just split up that easy?â
Abigail was stuffing Zackâs plate with food. âYouâre always so thoughtful.â
They all laughed and finished up dinner. After dinner, Cornelia spent some time drawing comics.
When she was about to hit the sack, she got a text from Hannah [Cornelia, are you asleep?]
Comelia replied [Nah, still up]
As soon as she sent the text, Hannah called her.
Cornelia picked up the phone and heard Hannah asking âCornelia, is it a good time to talk?
Cornelia said, âSure, whatâs up?â
Hannah said, âNothing important, just feel like yapping.â
Cornelia said, âCool, Iâm all earsâ
Hannah said, âIâm almost done filming my new series. I donât know why, but Iâve been feeling a bit emply latelyâ
Cornelia said, âMaybe youâre too invested in this character. Youâre a seasoned actress, you need to learn how to shake it off and snap out of characterâ
Hannah said, âAnd that comic artist. After reaching out once, she just disappeared. Iâve sent her tons of messages, but she never responds. I donât know if I pissed her off or somethingâ
Cornelia said, âYouâre such a sweetheart, who would hate you? Maybe she doesnât even log into Facebook, she might not even know you messaged her Iâm pretty sure sheâd reply if she knew.â
Cornelia had created a Facebook account for Hannah since she hardly used social media. After following Hannah and sending her some encouraging messages, she uninstalled Facebook. Thus she had no idea Hannah had sent her tons of messages
Hannah said. âYou really think so?â
Cornelia said, âI think itâs pretty likelyâ
Hannah said, âCornelia, I overheard Steven and Zavier talking last night. They were saying something about President Hartley hiding Skyler, is that true?â
Cornelia said, âItâs not that President Hartley hid Skyler. He helped her escape from Zavierâs control, thereâs a significant differenceâ
Hannah said, âCornelia, do you know where Skyter is now?
Cornelia shook her head, I donât dare to ask. Iâm afraid I might lead them to her
Hannah said, âI hope Skyler can live the life she wants.â
Cornelia said. âShe will, and so will we.â
Hannah forced a smile. âReally?â
Steven always wore a smile and was polite to everyone. Yet, it was these seemingly nice but cunning men who were the most frightening, even more so than Zavier.
Skyler had the guts to leave Zavier, but she didnât even have the courage to leave Steven.
