Chapter 532
Abigail said, âHeâs not in Hong Kong right now, probably a real pain to get a new SIM band Such a headache.â
Comelia responded, âAs long as heâs okay, thatâs all that matters. You can always buy a new phone, no need to stress about it.â
Zack chimed in, âThe moving boxes I ordered online have arrived. After dinner, Iâll go get them. Weâve got some free time these days, might as well start moving stuff to the new place.â
Comelia agreed, âSounds good.â She had the same idea. The more they moved now the less theyâd have to deal with later. Once the new place was ready, they could just pack a backpack and move in easily.
Abigail added, âI mentioned you guys to my boyfriend today. Heâs free this weekend and heâs gonna treat us to dinner. You guys can check him out for meâ
Comelia replied, âHe seems quite proactiveâ
Zack muttered, âAlways beanng gifts for no reason, either a scammer or a thief.
Abigail punched him lightly. âWeâre officially together now; youâre not allowed to badâmouth him behind his back. You can observe him when we meet, if you think thereâs something off, tell me directly.â
Zack rubbed the spot where heâd been hit, feeling more and more wronged, almost to the point of tears, Tve raised two girls with so much effort, only for them to be taken away so easily. Now I even get hit for speaking my mind. You two forget me as soon as you see your boyfriends. You donât love me anymore.â
Cornelia quickly put a piece of fish into his plate, âZack, donât cry. No matter who we marry, youâll always be our favorite friend, and no one can replace you in our
hearts
Zack pretended to wipe his tears, ate the fish Cornelia gave him, and said, âCornelia remember what you said today. If Jeremy and I both fall into the water, you have to save me first.â
Comelia answered, âYou can swim.â
Zack said, âI can, but even if I donât, you have to save me!
Cornelia replied, âOkay, okay, Iâll save you first.â
Abigail said, âZack, youâre so dramatic. Iâm going to throw up the food I just ate.â
Zack asked, âIf your boyfriend and I both fall into the water, who would you save?â.
Abigail also put some food into his plate, âIâll save you, of course. If I donât, weâll all be sickened to death by your drama.â
Zack said, âI just love you guys.â
Cornelia and Abigail responded, âEww!â
And so, they finished their meal amidst the lively chatter.
Cornelia was in charge of cooking. Abigail cleaned up the table after the meal, and Zack took on dishwashing duty.
After cleaning up, they went to fetch their package.
Zack had bought boxes of various sizes, the largest ones for bulky items like quilts and the sturdiest ones for books.
In this house, the most precious items were the books on the living room bookshelf They all loved reading, especially unique books. Once they found a good one, they would immediately buy it, bring it home, leisurely read it, and then share their thoughts.
Due to their love for books, the living room bookshelf was overflowing. So, they made two wooden shelves themselves for the books theyâd read, piling them up
there
These shelves were not covered and they were often too busy to clean, so many books were covered in dust.
