Chapter 969

Zack was like, “This is the only possibility.”

Cornelia shot back, “I’ve already confirmed Tahlia’s identity, and I’ve explained it to you today, so stop questioning her in the future”

Zack replied, “I’m not an idiot.”

Cornelia retorted, “Who said you’re not an idiot?”

Zack was like, “Cornelia, just focus on shopping!”

Having dealt with Zack, Cornelia went back to her shopping.

Before she finished, Abigail rang her up, “Cornelia, heard you found a blood sister? Is that legit?”

Cornelia said, “Yeah, I’ll fill you in when we meet. Planning to take Tahlia to Rosenberg tomorrow to pay respects to my grandma and dad, and deal with my grandma’s stuff.”

Because she had to go back to Riverton for Tahlia’s stuff, Cornelia hadn’t finished dealing with things in Rosenberg. She would have to stay there for a few more days to sort out her grandma’s stuff.

Abigail said, “Cool. My boyfriend met my parents in Rosenberg today. I’ll wait for you to finish up in Rosenberg and then we’ll head back to Riverton together.”

Cornelia asked, “What did your parents think of him?”

Abigail sighed, “They weren’t impressed! Mostly because they recently met the super handsome President Hartley, so my boyfriend doesn’t quite stack

up.”

Cornelia burst out laughing. “You can’t talk about your boyfriend like that.”

Abigail said, “Compared to President Hartley, he’s no match, but I still like him a lot.”

Cornelia said, “As long as you’re happy. Gotta get back to my shopping now. I have guests tonight. We’ll catch up tomorrow.”

Abigail said, “Cool.”

After hanging up, Cornelia shot Marcus a text. [Jeremy, thanks for helping out today and getting Tahlia’s name change and new ID sorted. I’ve invited Leonardo and Zack over for dinner tonight, a celebration for moving into my new place and finding my sister. Come home as soon as you finish work.]

After sending the text, Cornelia waited a few seconds, but didn’t get a reply from Marcus. She then put away her phone and carried on shopping.

A bit later, her phone buzzed. It was a text from Marcus, just a simple: [I miss you!]

He didn’t tell her that because she wasn’t with him today, he kept getting distracted at work. This was making Ben and his employees really worried.

Even though it was a simple message, Marcus‘ straightforwardness made Cornelia blush instantly. She replied, [Focus on your work during work hours. don’t say things like that.]

Marcus shot back, [Nothing much to do, I’ve knocked off early and am now at the entrance of the neighborhood.]

Cornelia replied: [Then head up first. We’re shopping at the supermarket.]

Marcus didn’t reply anymore. Cornelia put her phone away, but couldn’t help but quicken her shopping pace. In the end, she picked out a shopping cart full of stuff. After paying, everyone took two bags.

Zack picked up the two heaviest bags and said, “Nelly, I’ll take these out first, then come back to help you guys.”

“No need, the remaining bags are lighter, we can handle it.” Cornelia, looking out for her sister, gave the lightest bag to Tahlia, and carried the slightly heavier ones herself.
