Chapter 896

Not long after Marcus left, Abigail’s parents also showed up. After mourning Granny Rebecca, they immediately got down to business.

Zack’s parents were in the living room helping Cornelia entertain the guests who came to mourn Granny Rebecca, while Abigail’s mother came to the kitchen to lend a hand as much as possible.

Seeing her daughter busy in the kitchen, Abigail’s mother felt very pleased, ‘You’ve grown up”

Abigail said, “Well, I’m about to get married, so I better have.”

Abigail’s mother asked, “Didn’t that boy come back to Rosenberg with you?”

Abigail replied, “He did come back with us, but we didn’t have time to entertain him, so I decided to invite him over after we have dealt with Granny Rebecca’s affairs.”

Abigail’s mother was very satisfied. “You’ve become pretty savvy in handling things”

Abigail asked, “If I’ve become mature in handling things, what about you? Have that mother and son made a ruckus at our place again?”

Abigail’s mother answered. “After the unpleasant incident on Christmas, I told your dad that if he lets them stay at our place again, I’ll divorce him. He probably got scared that I’d leave him, so he hasn’t dared to let them come since then.”

Abigail said. “He should have done that long ago. They’re all grown-ups. You guys have no obligation to take care of their lives.”

Abigail’s mother sighed again. “It’s been a few months since we last saw each other, and you’ve become so much more mature.”

Abigail said. “Maybe it’s because of Nelly and Granny Rebecca’s situations. Granny Rebecca was fine a few days ago, then she suddenly left. It freaks me out.”

One never knew what was gonna happen down the line. Abigail was particularly scared of waking up one day to some news she couldn’t accept, ‘Mom, you and dad shouldn’t work so hard, spend money when you need to.”

Abigail’s mother sighed, “Don’t worry about us, pay more attention to Nelly. She had a rough start. Her mom left when she was very young, and her dad died in a car accident when she was just a few years old. Now her only family has left too, I don’t know if she can make it… Abby, you and Zack should keep Nelly company more, let her know she’s got you guys.”

Abigail said, “I got it.”

Zack’s mother walked into the kitchen, “What are you ladies gabbing about?”

Abigail’s mother answered. “We’re just talking about life”

Zack’s mother said, “It’s getting late, and more and more people have arrived, Nelly asked us to start serving dinner. Let’s feed the guests so they can head home early”

“Alright.” Abigail’s mother replied and then started to get busy.

The meal was prepared according to traditional funeral rites, including appetizers, main courses, side dishes, desserts, and soup.

There weren’t many people who came to mourn Granny Rebecca, as Cornelia only informed the students who truly respected Granny Rebecca and her close friends. There were only two tables at dinner The Cornelia household only had one dining table, the other round table was brought over from Abigail’s parents’ house when they came.

In general, they thoughtfully considered all the issues that Cornelia hadn’t thought of.
