Chapter $30
Abigail let out a sigh, âIâm so glad itâs not your hubby. If he was messing around on the side, Iâd be heartbroken.â
Comelia asked, âWhy would you be heartbroken?â
Abigail replied, âEver since I met your husband, all the leading men in the novels I read have his handsome face. If heâs a cheat, I wonât be able to enjoy those novels anymore.â
Comelia was left speechless.
Abigail was easily fooled, but Zack was a tough nut to crack. He chimed in, âRich guys play fast and loose, more than we could ever imagine. Donât kid yourselves thinking theyâd only stick with their wives.â
Comelia asked him, âYou think so too?â
Zack replied, I ainât no rich guy.â
Abigail shot back, âWho said only rich men fool around? Look at the news online, poor men and ugly guys cheat more than rich and handsome onesâ
Zack stood his ground. Im not like them.â
Abigail asked him, âHow so?â
Zack explained, âI grew up with you guys, playing girly games. Youâve influenced me to the point where I donât have those playboy thoughts.â
Abigail jokingly patted Zackâs shoulder, âBuddy, lets go to Thailand sometime. We need to make your body match your mind.â
Zack looked down at his body and quickly buttoned up his shirt, âIâm the only child in the Ruck family. My dad wants me to carry on the bloodline. If I got surgery in Thailand, heâd kill meâ
Cornelia and Abigail burst into laughter at Zackâs antics.
Cornelia was even laughing so hard she was crying. She wiped her tears with a tissue âZack, stop kidding around and answer my question seriously, without any prejudice.â
Zack pondered and then replied, âTo be honest, Iâve dreamed of having multiple wives But then I remember you guys always picking on me and that idea flies out the window.â
Abigail punched him, âWhen did we ever pick on you?â
Zack replied, âArenât you doing it right now?â
Cornelia said, âStop the small talk, answer me properly.â
Zack added, âI think everyone has the potential to be unfaithful, not just men, women loo. Itâs all about whether you can control it with morality. Do those who cheat not know itâs immoral? Of course, they do. But knowing this, they still do it. It shows they think with their bodies, seeking only physical stimulation. Morality canât restrain them. Do those good men who love their wives and children not find other women more attractive than their wives? Sure they do. However, they can control. their desires and never cross the line. They stick to their principles.â
Hearing this, Cornelia couldnât help but give Zack a thumbs up. âZack, youâve got some deep thoughts. Youâre absolutely right, we canât generalize. There are unfaithful and faithful men, just as there are faithful and unfaithful women.â
Abigail nodded in agreement.
Zack continued, âSince weâre on the subject, letâs talk about Jeremy.â
Cornelia said, âZack, Iâm telling you. We can talk about Jeremy, but you canât badmouth him.â
