Chapter 1225

After settling things with Abigail, Cornelia hit the road and headed to the local market to buy ingredients.

Living in Celestial Chateau, with Patricia preparing all her meals, Cornelia hadn’t been to such a lively market in quite a while. However, when it came to what to buy and how to haggle, Cornelia was still on the ball.

She bought some health–boosting ingredients, then hit the supermarket for some of Abigail’s favorite fruits and snacks. Then, lugging two shopping bags big and small, she

headed back to Lakeview Estates

On her way back, she ran into Zack. To be more precise, Zack knew Cornelia was out shopping alone, so he specifically came to walk her home.

Zack naturally took the shopping bags from Cornelia’s hands and said. “Cornelia, you should head back early. I’m here to look after Abigail, that’s enough”

Cornelia retorted, “Why are you always rushing me off? The three of us haven’t had a meal together in ages. Can’t I stay to have dinner before leaving?”

Zack replied, “We’d love for you to stay, even want you to live at Lakeview Estates, so we could hang out like we used to every day. But you have a family now, you should put that first

“So just because I have a family now, I can’t hang out with my old friends anymore? Cornelia latched onto Zack’s arm, “In my heart, you and Abigail are always irreplaceable.”

Zack replied, “You and Abigail are the same to me. When I think about Abigail being screwed over by Trevor, I get really pissed off. We need to come up with a plan to give that guy a taste of his own medicine, we can’t just let it slide.”

“I’m just as pissed off, but Trevor was once someone Abigail deeply loved, let’s just let it go. Cutting ties with him in the future is the best outcome.” Cornelia shook her

head

Zack eyed her and said. “That’s not like you.”

Cornelia replied, “As you age and see more of life, people change.”

Zack felt Cornelia made sense, so he dropped the idea of getting back at Trevor. After a while, he suddenly thought of something. “Is your sister Tahlia not living with you anymore? We haven’t seen your house lights on for days.”

“She might be on a business trip with Marcus Cornelia replied.

Zack was silent for a while, then said, “You really have a big heart.”

Cornelia chuckled, “If I didn’t and just follow a man around like a tail, would he value me?”

“Your logic is really something.” Zack said.

Cornelia laughed and said, ‘Enough, let’s not talk about others.”

“When did your husband Marcus become others?” Zack asked.

“To you guys, he’s always been an outsider” Cornelia replied.

“Fair point” Zack said

They chatted and laughed all the way back to their community.

Concerned about disturbing the resting Abigail, Cornelia and Zack decided to cook at Zack’s place. They divided the tasks and before long, a sumptuous dinner was ready

“I’ll go check if Abigail is awake. If she is, I’ll get her up for dinner.” Cornelia said.

“Alright, you go check on her. I’ll make some fresh juice, Abby’s favorite. Zack said.

“Sounds good.” Cornelia said

The three of them lived in the same building so going from one home to another was a breeze.

Cornelia had the door code to Abigail’s place, and she went straight in to find Abigail, who should’ve been in bed, sitting on the living room couch, lost in thought.

Cornelia approached and Abigail didn’t notice her.

“Abby” Cornelia called her.

Abigail snapped out of her thoughts and forced a smile, “Smelly Nelly

Cornelia sat beside her and asked, “Can’t sleep?”

Abigail nodded, “I’ve seen similar things happen on the news, never thought it would happen to mel

Cornelia gripped her hand tightly and said, “We can’t change the hurt we’ve suffered. All we can do is try to forget it as soon as possible and start a new life.”

Abigail rubbed her belly. “I have Ho lingering feelings for Trevor I just regret being so impulsive and getting rid of my own child”
