Chapter 845
Cornelia said, âNah, heâs not like that. Heâs always got my back, respects all my thoughts. My granny wants to see my kid. Sheâs getting on in years, and we donât know how much longer sheâs got. I donât want her to leave this world with any regrets, so Iâve decided she should meet my kid sooner rather than laterâ
Abigail responded, âComella, do you ever think youâre being kinda selfish?â
Comelia asked, âHow so?â
Abigail went on. âYou seem to be treating Marcus like a babyâmaking machineâ
Comelia said. âThatâs not trueâ
Abigail asked, âDo you even like him?â
Cornelia thought for a moment, âHeâs a looker, and heâs loaded. What woman wouldnât like him? I suppose I do like him.â
Abigail said, âYou suppose? Are you sure about that?â
Comelia shot back. âI havenât had eyes for any other man. How does that make me selfish?â
Abigail said, âIt makes you even more selfish. Youâre not even sure if you like him, and yet youâve slept with him.â
Cornelia said, âHeâs my husband! Our relationship is perfectly legitimate!â
Abigail was speechless. She was totally lost for words!
Cornelia said, âThatâs not what you told me before. Youâre the one who told me that heâs my husband, Iâm his only wife, and I can do whatever I wantâ
Abigail said, âI was just blowing smoke.â
Cornelia said, âWell, I took it seriously! Whatever I did, you share the blame.â
Abigail said, âDonât you dare try to pin your actions on me.â
Comelia said, âIf youâre not to blame, then who is? Hurry back, and Iâll treat you to a feast.â
Abigail said, âAlright. I need to prepare some gifts for your kid. But itâs really tough, the Hartley family is so rich, and they lack nothing. Your kid will get the best of everything Will they look down on what I buy?â
Your thoughtfulness is priceless, my kid will absolutely love it.â Cornelia responded, as if she was already pregnant.
Abigail said, âThen you rest up, take good care of yourself.â
Cornelia nodded, âWill do.â
After ending the call with Abigail, Cornelia looked down at her stomach. Even though she was full, she drank more milk. If she was pregnant, the child would need the
nutrients
After breakfast, Cornelia got bored and messaged Marcus, [Iâm heading home for a bit.]
Marcus replied, [Come in.].
Cornelia said. [Youâre busy with work, I donât want to bother you]
Marcus replied again, [Come in.]
It was just a short message, but Cornelia could feel his determination. However, she didnât want to obey, intending to return to her room to change her clothes and leave. Just as she passed the study door, she was caught by a strong arm. With a gentle tug, Marcus pulled Cornelia into the study, saying. âStay with me, donât go anywhere elseâ
His voice was deep and pleasant, yet firm and commanding.
