Chapter 958
âSister.â Natalia called out.
âYeah, Iâm here.â Cornelia replied.
âSisterâ Natalia called again.
Iâm here Cornelia reassured her.
âSisterâ Natalia called once more.
Cornelia answered patiently through Nataliaâs constant calling. With a smile, she asked, âNatalia, are you hungry? I havenât had a bite all day, how about you keep me company for a meal?â
âIâm hungryâ Natalia replied.
Taking Nataliaâs hand, Cornelia said, âLetâs freshen up first, then weâll eat.â
Seeing Cornelia holding her hand, Natalia felt as if all the pain in her body had vanished.
âIâve just bought a new house and weâre still missing some daily necessities. What do you say we go buy some toothpaste and toothbrushes?â Cornelia proposed.
But Patricia overheard from the living room and said, âNelly, Marc has already taken care of all the household goods. Your toiletries and skincare products are in the master bedroom, and Ms. Reeseâs are in her room.â
âAlright.â Cornelia replied. On returning to the master bedroom, she noticed just how thoughtful Marcus had been.
Not only had he prepared toiletries and skincare products, but he had also considerately arranged several sets of clothes for her in the wardrobe.
Moved to tears, Cornelia took out her phone and messaged him: [Jeremy]
Marcus replied quickly: [Whatâs up?]
[Thank you.] Cornelia responded.
[Iâm your husband.] Marcus replied.
Though his reply was brief, Cornelia understood the deep love it conveyed.
Even though she had her own bathroom, Cornelia decided to accompany Natalia to the second bathroom. The two of them stood in front of the bathroom mirror brushing their teeth, and they both started to laugh at their reflections.
âSister.â Natalia called again.
Cornelia pointed at her nose and said, âFinish brushing your teeth first, youâve still got toothpaste foam in your mouth.â
Once Natalia had finished brushing her teeth, she turned and hugged Cornelia, âI suddenly feel so happy. So this is what happiness feels like. I can have it
too.â
Cornelia gently patted her back and asked, âNatalia, do you still want to go back to the Reese family?â
As soon as the Reese family was mentioned, Nataliaâs face turned pale. It seemed like her whole body was rejecting the idea of going back to the Reese family.
âIf you donât want to go back, then donât. You can live here with me from now on, and this will be your home. Cornelia told her.
Natalia shook her head and nodded excitedly at the same time, tears welled up in her eyes, âI used to be horrible to you, but why are you still so good to
me?â
Cornelia hugged her tightly. âBecause youâre not bad, and also because youâre my sister. If Iâm not good to you, then who will be?â
Wiping away her tears, Natalia said, âHow wonderful it would be if you were my real sister.
Cornelia pushed her away gently, put her hands on her shoulders and said seriously. âIf you were my real sister, you would no longer be a child of the Reese family. You would lose the identity of the Reese familyâs heiress, and your life wouldnât be as luxurious. Could you accept all of this?â
