Chapter 268 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Abigail said, “He’s not in Hong Kong right now, probably a real pain to get a new SIM band Such a headache.” Comelia responded, “As long as he’s okay, that’s all that matters. You can always buy a new phone, no need to stress about it.” Zack chimed in, “The moving boxes I ordered online have arrived. After dinner, I’ll go get them. We’ve got some free time these days, might as well start moving stuff to the new place.” Comelia agreed, “Sounds good.” She had the same idea. The more they moved now the less they’d have to deal with later. Once the new place was ready, they could just pack a backpack and move in easily. Abigail added, “I mentioned you guys to my boyfriend today. He’s free this weekend and he’s gonna treat us to dinner. You guys can check him out for me” Comelia replied, “He seems quite proactive” Zack muttered, “Always beanng gifts for no reason, either a scammer or a thief. Abigail punched him lightly. “We’re officially together now; you’re not allowed to bad–mouth him behind his back. You can observe him when we meet, if you think there’s something off, tell me directly.”
• Zack rubbed the spot where he’d 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 don’t love me anymore.” Cornelia quickly put a piece of fish into his plate, “Zack, don’t cry. No matter who we marry, you’ll 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, “Cornelia remember what you said today. If Jeremy and I both fall into the water, you have to save me first.” Comelia answered, “You can swim.” Zack said, ‘I can, but even if I don’t, you have to save me! Cornelia replied, “Okay, okay, I’ll save you first.” Abigail said, “Zack, you’re so dramatic. I’m going to throw up the food I just ate.” Zack asked, “If your boyfriend and I both fall into the water, who would you save?“. Abigail also put some food into his plate, “I’ll save you, of course. If I don’t, we’ll all be sickened to death by your drama.” Zack said, “I just love you guys.” Cornelia and Abigail responded, “Eww!” 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 they’d 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. Abigail was tidying up, chatting away. “Our new place has got its own study, and the bookshelf is massive We won’t have any issues with storage for our books.” Cornelia chimed in, “Yeah, once we move in, we can just splurge on books. Lots and lots of books.” Zack dropped in, 1 saw a rare book online the other day, and it was so good it had me drooling. Guess how much the seller was asking?” Comelia and Abigail asked, “How much?” Zack held up a hand. “This figure!” Cornelia and Abigail asked, “Five thousand?” Zack clutched his chest, “Fifty thousand!” Abigail exclaimed, “Why doesn’t he just rob a bank? Good books should be shared with people who can appreciate them. If they end up with someone who doesn’t, isn’t that just a waste?” Comelia kept repeating. “Fifty thousand? Fifty thousand? That’s pricier than the study I saw.” She thought of the study in Marcus‘ Celestial Chateau. Clearly, not only was the construction cost high, but the rare books inside were worth a fortune Abigail asked, “What are you talking about?” Cornelia explained, “I’ve seen one of Marcus studies.
