Chapter 739

Comelia chuckled, “Maybe all of this is just a figment of my imagination. When I snap out of it, Marcus will still be the CEO of the Hartley Group, and I’ll just be his assistant. Our relationship will still be employer and employee, and there’s no way I could ever be his wife.”

Abigail replied, “Girl, you are so silly. Everyone’s dying to be his wife, and you’re hoping this is all just a dream. Let me tell you, it’s a done deal. You are his legit wife.

“You better live the good life from now on, live it so well that everyone else turns green with envy. Then pop out a few kids for me to spoil. You two have such good genes, it’d be a crime to waste them. But oh, I forgot, your hubby’s shooting blanks. Guess my dreams of being an awesome auntie may have to take a backseat.”

Comelia asked, “Do you think he and I can stay together forever?”

Abigail answered, “Absolutely, as long as you’re up for it. Based on my years of reading romance novels, your husband is definitely into you.”

Comelia glared at her, “I’m being serious here, stop spouting off about novels.”

Abigail retorted, “Fine, let’s go with my woman’s intuition then. I just have a hunch he’s into you: Every time we’re all together, his eyes are always on you. I don’t know him well, but I just feel like he wouldn’t lie to you.”

Cornelia sighed, “Maybe that’s part of his charm.”

Just as Abigail was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw the caller ID–Hubby.

Comelia caught a glimpse, “You guys just started dating and he’s already your hubby?”

Abigail shot back, “Not everyone’s like you. Married for two years before realizing the man you see every day is actually your hubby.”

Cornelia was speechless.

Abigail answered the call, her voice syrupy sweet, “Hubby, you’re here? Alright, I’ll get the door.”

After hanging up, she didn’t rush to open the door.

She got off the bed, sat in front of the vanity, and leisurely started to primp. She was in no hurry to open the door.

Cornelia asked, “Didn’t he say he’s here? Why aren’t you opening the door?”

Abigail replied, “You wouldn’t get it. Sometimes, men need to be kept waiting. Don’t be so eager about everything.”

Cornelia said, “I believe sincerity is the most important thing in love and marriage. We shouldn’t play pointless games.”

Abigail responded, “Sure, if it’s someone as rich and good–looking as your husband, then there can be an exception.”

Cornelia was left speechless again.

After primping for several minutes, Abigail finally strolled out of the room to open the door.

With a guest in the house, Cornelia couldn’t stay in her room. She followed Abigail to greet her boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, before Cornelia could get a good look at the man outside, Abigail slammed the door shut.

Cornelia was startled and asked, “Abigail, what’s going on?”

Abigail quickly locked the door and turned her back on it, “Cornelia, go back to your room. You can’t come out or peek without my permission.”
