Chapter $31
Zock was a little bummed out and said in a low voice, âYou canât even remember his face, why is he more important to you than me?â
Comelia explained, âYou guys are just as important to me. I wonât let Jeremy badmouth you guys. Iâve already told him how important you guys areâ
Hearing this, Zack and Abigail were elated, âYou mentioned us to Jeremy?â
Cornelia responded, âYou guys have been my friends since childhood, my best friends, and the most important people in my life. How could I not tell him?â
Hearing this, Zack was satisfied, âIâm not trying to slag off Jeremy this time. I actually think he could be the one for you.â
Comelia was curious, âWhy the sudden change of heart about him?â
Zack said, âBecause of you, of course
Zack and Abigail knew Cornelia better than anyone, having grown up with her
Cornelia had always felt insecure due to family issues Two major incidents later on made her develop a sensitive and suspicious nature. Itâs difficult for her to trust new people, let alone open her heart to someone
Jeremy, even after filing for divorce, managed to get Cornelia to let her guard down and want to spend her life with him. This showed that something must have happened between Jeremy and Comelia that made her trust him.
If Cornelia trusted him, then Jeremy must be a trustworthy guy.
Cornelia asked with a smile, âIs it because you guys love me, so you also love the perron I love?â
Zack said. âYeah, we trust you and you trust him. So weâre willing to trust him tooâ
Cornelia and Jeremyâs marriage was sudden, and she hadnât mentioned Jeremy to Zack and Abigail before the wedding Coupled with Jeremyâs actions after the wedding, they had some reservations about him.
Now that theyâre willing to accept Jeremy, Comelia was over the moon and gave them a big hug. âZack, Abby. I love you guys!â
Zack added, âI hope youâre happier than all of us, especially happier than those schmucks from Rosenberg who bullied you.â
Mentioning Rosenberg. Abigail gave Zack a look, âStop bringing up that old mess. Letâs eat before the food gets cold. These fish and chips are best when hotâ
Zack said, âYeah, letâs eatâ
Comelia smiled calmly, âZack, Abby. The thing with Rosenberg is ancient history now it doesnât affect me anymore. You donât need to tiptoe around it.â
Zack and Abigail looked at Cornelia, âYou really donât care anymore?â
Cornelia nodded, âI had a long talk with grandma at Southern Peak. She told me that you canât always live in the past, you have to look forward. She said that if my father could see me, he would want me to be happy. Do you think I should care about what unimportant people think of me, or should I focus on living my life well. so my father can rest in peace?â
Abigail nodded vigorously, âNelly, youâre thinking right. You should live your life well and make everyone envious. Use your happiness to counter all the gossip.â
Zack said, âYeah, whatâs important is that you live your life well, donât mind what others say. But speaking of which, did you talk about this with Jeremy?â
Cornelia said, âTve thought it through, Iâll tell him when I see himâ
Zack nodded, âYeah, clear the air to avoid any misunderstandings. Do you know when Jeremy is coming back to Riverton? I think your second wedding anniversary is coming up.â
Comelia said, âI actually wanted to discuss this with him yesterday, but his phone got stolen.â
Zack said, âThieves really are the worst. Losing your phone is such a hassle. If I had to choose, Iâd rather lose some money than my phoneâ
