Chapter 843
Abigail usually seemed pretty ballsy, and wasnât scared to say anything But when it came to shady business, her moral compass was straighter than anyone elseâs Right now, she was all worked up worrying about Comella making some dumb decisions Cornelia, if you donât want to divorce, you definitely canât go messing around with other men. If you end up pregnant with some other guyâs kid, do you think President Hartley would let that slide?
When Cornelia didnât respond, Abigail continued. âI donât know if heâd let it slide, but if I were him, I definitely couldnâtâ
Cornelia, âIs that what you really think of me deep down in your heart?â
Abigail, âOf course not, in my eyes, youâre just like me. All bark and no bite. We just talk big to entertain ourselves â
Comelia. Yet you still doubl me.
Abigail, âItâs your own words that got me worried. Just tell me youâre pulling my legâ
Cornelia took a sip of milk, then said slowly, âWhy couldnât my child be President Hartleyâs?â
Abigail. âPresident Hartleyâs kid? I thought he had issues, how could he get you pregnant? Did you guys do something special? If thatâs the case, youâll suffer more than the average pregnant woman
âThere was once a beautiful actress who tried every trick in the book to marry into a wealthy family but was kicked out not long after because she couldnât have a baby. These rich women seem to have no freedom, just being baby making machines for wealthy families. I never thought my best friend would face the same issue one dayâ
Cornelia couldnât stand Abigailâs wild imagination. Iâll conceive naturally.. the Hartley family doesnât have so many issues.
Abigail, âHuh? But I thought he had issues Is he fine now?â
Cornelia remembered Marcus dominance from the night before. In the end, she not only lost her voice but also passed out, âHeâs totally fine nowâ
Abigail screamed in excitement as if she was more thrilled than Cornelia. âGod answered my prayers! Didnât waste President Hartleyâs handsome face and didnât make him
less of a man.â
Abigail continued, âCornelia, now tell me, I want to know if heâs different from other menâ
Cornelia immediately changed the subject, âYou first tell me, how was it going to your boyfriendâs house?â
Abigail, âIt was great. Heâs the only child and his parents were really pleased with me. I looked up loads of advice online about first visits to a boyfriendâs house. But I was overthinking it. They poured me water, handed me fruit, and didnât let me lift a finger. They even prepared loads of good food for me.
âHis mom told me they always wanted a daughter but never had one. If I became part of their family, theyâd treat me like their own. And she wasnât all talk, she walked the walk. Sheâs been doing my laundry these past few days.â
Cornelia said, âIf theyâre treating you this well, then I can rest easy.â
Abigail, âYeah, I was worried that they might not accept me, but everything turned out greatâ
Cornelia asked a practical question, âWhatâs their financial situation like?â
