Chapter 1388

Since Cornelia knew she could get into labor at any minute, she had all her work sorted out well in advance. But she couldn’t rule out someone wanting to change the script on the fly. Changes in the script could be major or minor, and she had to keep a tight rein on it. Otherwise, last-minute alterations could mess up the storylines laid out earlier. Hannah told Cornelia, “Take it easy. Don’t worry about the crew. I’ll keep an eye on things.”

Cornelia replied, “Alright.”

Hannah continued, “I’ve hogged your whole afternoon. President Hartley might have a bone to pick with me.”

Cornelia said, “He doesn’t like being called Marcus anymore. It’s Jeremy now. Just call him Jeremy from now on.”

Hannah said, “Jeremy and Cornelia, your names do have a nice ring to them.”

Cornelia said. “It’s not about the names; it’s about the person. He’s my lost and found treasure., I need to cherish him and treat him well.”

Hannah said. “You really make me envy your love life.”

Cornelia laughed and said, “You better make me envy yours soon too.”

Hannah said, “Alright, I’ll give it my all.”

Cornelia said, “You better get going.”

Hannah was about to leave, then she ran back and said, “Nelly, the Hartley Group, such a huge business empire, just gone like that, your boyfriend might not take it well. If he ever wants to start over and needs my help, just let me know.”

Cornelia said, “I don’t want him to start over. He should do whatever makes him happy in the future. I can take care of the money-making part. I’m capable enough to support him and our child.”

Hannah said, “That’s an option too. But is he willing to stay at home and let you take care of him?”

Cornelia said, “Even if he’s not willing, I’ll make him willing. There’s nothing more important to me right now than his health.”

Hannah said, “Indeed, having a healthy and happy family is what matters the most.” She glanced at the time, “Nelly, I gotta run. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

Cornelia said, “I’ve got people taking care of me here, you don’t need to come every day. Let’s meet up in Riverton after you finish shooting.”

Hannah said, “You’re going back to Riverton?”

Cornelia said, “Yeah.”

Hannah said, “I plan to finish my current contracts and then retire from acting. I’ve earned enough money, and in the future, when I have more time, I’ll help you take care of the child.”

Cornelia said, “Alright.”

Hannah said, “I’m off then.”

Cornelia said, “Yeah.”

Just as Hannah left, Zack and Abigail arrived.

They received the news late and had to rush from Riverton to Harbor City, so they were the last to arrive to see Cornelia and the baby. Both Abigail and Zack looked a bit off. Abigail was pacing in the room with Hope in her arms, but her gazes kept darting towards Cornelia. Zack just sat there with a sour face, not uttering a word.

Cornelia asked, “What’s eating you two?”

Hearing her question, Abigail glanced at Zack, then turned to her, “We just ran into Marcus and Patricia, have you guys made up?”

Cornelia slightly replied, “Yeah.”

Zack immediately got fired up, “Cornelia, have you lost your marbles? He betrayed you, he was with your sister, and he even forced you to divorce. When you were going through hell being pregnant, he was out having a good time with other women. And you still made up with him, are you trying to piss us off on purpose?”
