Chapter 1143

Cornelia froze, then let out a shriek that mirrored Abigail’s, “Abigail, what did you just say? Repeat that!”

Abigail repeated, “I’m pregnant!”

Cornelia asked, “Are you pulling my leg?”

Abigail said, “My period’s always been like clockwork. This month it didn’t come, so I took a pregnancy test. It came out positive. My husband was worried that the stick might not be accurate, so he took me to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor confirmed it, I’m really pregnant”

Cornelia jumped around ecstatically, “You’re gonna be a mom? Is it a boy or a girl? I need to start preparing gifts for your baby.”

Abigail said, “Cornelia, have you gone bonkers? I’ve only been pregnant for a month, the baby’s just an embryo, there’s no way to tell if it’s a boy or a girl:

Cornelia said, “I got carried away. But be it a boy or a girl, I’ll be thrilled. I’ll prepare gifts for both, just in case you’re having twins.”

Abigail said, “Are you trying to kill me?”

Cornelia said, “From today, you don’t have to work. I’ll foot the bill for your living expenses and anything the baby needs.”

Abigail said, “Well, on behalf of the baby, thank you”

Cornelia said, “Your child is my child, no need to be formal. Abigail, I heard it’s not good to announce a pregnancy before three months, so don’t tell anyone else. It’s enough for us to know.”

Abigail said, “Of course. I haven’t even told my mom yet.”

Cornelia said, “Abigail, why do I feel as thrilled as if I’m the one who’s pregnant?*

Abigail asked, “Aren’t you and your husband thinking about having a child?”

Cornelia said, “I really want to. But for some reason, I’ve never been pregnant.”

Abigail said, “These things can’t be rushed, take it slow. But if you want to have a child, you should start preparing.”

Cornelia said, “Right, I should really start preparing.”

Abigail suddenly joked, “Do you want us to give you some tips on how to get pregnant easier?”

Cornelia knew she was joking and quickly shook her head, “No need, I know how it works.”

Abigail said, “Even if you don’t, your husband surely does.”

Cornelia was speechless.

Abigail asked again, “When are you going back to Riverton?”

Cornelia said, “I guess in a few days.

Abigail said, “Okay, let’s get together when you come back. I’m going to bed now, good night.”

“Good night!” Cornelia lay in bed, flipping back to her chat with Marcus.

She couldn’t help but send him a message: [I miss you!]

Cornelia knew he wouldn’t respond at this hour after sending the message, but she kept her phone in her hand. She laid down her phone and tried to sleep after waiting for a long time and not receiving a response. But as soon as she lay down, her mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts

Unable to sleep, Cornelia got up to draw comics. She was currently working on a series called The Hitched Chronicles. Its light and funny style had attracted a lot of attention. However, due to recent events, her updates were irregular and her popularity had declined a bit.

Luckily, she still had a lot of fans who waited online every day for her updates. Cornelia decided to take this seriously, spent over an hour carefully drawing an episode, and then uploaded it to the website.
