Chapter 511
Natalia asked, âCan I leave now?â
Zavier replied, âOf course!â
As Natalia stood up, she realized her legs were too weak to hold her up.
Zamer had someone escort her out
After Natalia left, the man who had just played Marcus finished removing his makeup. He looked respectfully at Zavier, Mr. Rivera, Iâm heading out.â
Zavier nodded. âYour sisters makeup skills are topânotch. Weâll need you guys in the future, so donât let your skills get rustyâ
âI understandâ The man respectfully withdrew without saying another word.
Once the man had left, Zavier lit another cigarette, took a few hard puffs, then laughed, âMarc, why are you so stubborn? If you had given Skyler back to me, Cornelia wouldnât have misunderstood you. Now Iâm curious, how are you going to convince Cornelia that nothing happened between you and Natalia?â
When Cornelia returned home, Zack and Abigail were having breakfast. They were surprised to see her back.
Almost simultaneously, Zack and Abigail asked, âYou came home so late last night, werenât you going to sleep in today before going to Southern Peak? Where did you run off to this early?â
Cornelia opened her mouth to explain her morning, but decided against it, âMarcus got drunk, and I picked him upâ
Zack started nagging âOnce our studio is doing better, you should quit this job that gives you no personal time and focus on your comics.â
As he spoke. Zack served Cornelia a bowl of oatmeal for her, showing his care in his own way.
Comelia nodded, âIâll consider it.â
Abigail asked, âNelly, how did you suddenly come to this decision?â
Cornelia replied, âOnce our studioâs income increases and my comics can cover my mortgage, I wonât push myself so hard.â
Zack joked, âYouâre such a money grubber. It all comes down to whether it makes money or not.â
Cornelia laughed, âBeing a money grubber is more practical than being a hopeless romantic, right?â
Zack said, âTrueâ
Abigail said, âI suspect you guys are hinting at me.â
Cornelia asked, âAre you a hopeless romantic?â
Abigail answered, âAm I? I donât think so. I like all goodâlooking guys, not just one.â
Cornelia asked, âWhen are you going to introduce us to your boyfriend?â
Abigail replied, âIâll tell him today Letâs wait until this weekend Iâll bring him to meet you guys.*
As for Abigailâs boyfriend, Cornelia was more invested than if she were seeking a boyfriend herself. She was afraid Abigail would be deceived, âWhere is your boyfriend from? What does he do? Who does he have in his family?
Abigail was amused by her, âSmelly Nelly, donât you feel like youâre asking these questions like an elder? Whatâs next, his birthday?â
Cornelia rolled her eyes at her, âWeâre having a senous discussion here, donât joke around. If he wasnât your boyfriend, who would bother asking?â
