Chapter $39
Comella took a look at the card, Jeremyâs name was indeed on it 7 remember on our (egistration day. Jeremy gave me a bank card I never intended to use his money, so when I got home, I put the card along with our marriage certificate aside, never looked at them again
Abigail asked. âHeâs your husband, why not use the money he gave you?â
Camelia replied, âWe donât live together, how could I have the nerve to spend his money? And who said women must spend menâs money after they get married? Since weâre a new family, and I can eam money too, we should both work hard to make our family betterâ
Zack chimed in, âIf you donât use his money, do you want some other woman to use it? Do you know the PIN of the bank card? Why donât you check how much money is in the card? What if he just gave you an empty card to make you happy?â
Comelia glanced at Zack and said with a hint of displeasure. Thatâs impossible, my Jeremy is not that kind of person! During the New Year, he transferred all the money he earned last year to me and asked me to save itâ
Abigail sighed. âYouâre too protective of him. We canât say a word of criticism about him.â
Comelia answered. âHeâs my husband, if I donât protect him, who will?â
Abigail said, âFrom now on, i wonât call you Smelly Nelly anymore, I should call you the Wife Who Wholeheartedly Supports Her Husbandâ
Cornelia pinched her face. âYouâre such a mischief. Where do you get that mouth of yours, youâre so talkativeâ
Abigail pushed Comeliaâs hand away, âYour hands are all dusty, you canât just touch try face like that. Do you know how expensive my skincare products am?â
Comelia said. âYouâre already beautiful. You donât need all that skincare productsâ
Abigail replied, âFlattery wonât work.â
Zack said âAlright, alright, less bickering, more packing. We need to finish packing these books tonight, so I can take them to the new house when I go to work
tomorrowâ
Comelia started packing, but soon a red certificate fell out from the pile of books, a few letters were printed on the bottom â marriage certificate!
Abigail saw it and asked, âCornelia, is this your marriage certificate?â
Comelia picked up the certificate, hesitating, âI guess so.â
Abigail said, âNo wonder we couldnât find it last time when we turned your room upside down, it was in the pile of books.â
Abigail and Zack leaned closer to Cornelia, âOpen it, letâs see what Jeremy looks like.
Cornelia looked at them, nervously saying, âI donât know why, but Iâm feeling more nervous than the day when we got the marriage certificate.â
Abigail said, âIâm nervous too!â
Zack said, âSince youâre both nervous, let me open it.â
Abigail slapped away Zackâs outstretched hand, âLet Cornelia do it.â
Cornelia took a deep breath and slowly opened the red certificate. When it was open she saw two photos, one of her and the other should be Jeremy
To her surprise, the man in the photo was Marcus!
The only difference between the man in the photo and Marcus was that Marcus always wore a pair of silverâframed glasses, but the man in the photo didnât
Corneliaâs first reaction was that this marriage certificate was fake and a prank by Abigail
She angrily threw the marriage certificate at Abigail, âAbigail, how could you play such a prank?â
