Chapter 1018
Abigail said. “Your hubby’s around I better not go in I gotta keep a decent distance
Comelia asked, “Didn’t you used to enjoy his company? Why the sudden change of heart?”
Abigail replied. “My boyfriend gets ridiculously jealous Just yesterday when he was leaving Rosenberg he told me to
keep my eyes off other guys
Cornelia asked. “What’s wrong with looking at other guys? Just because you’re seeing someone doesn’t mean
you’re blind
Abigail said, “I agree, but he said it makes him jealous, and he had a point. If I’ve decided to marry him, I should
mspect his feelings and keep my contact with other guys to

Comelia said. “Abby this sounds a bit off
Abigail cut her off, “Enough about that, I gotta go. Hit me up if you need something”
Comelia watched Abigail leave, and as she withdrew her gaze, she caught Tahlia’s
Comelia rubbed her head and asked. “What’s up. Tahlia?”
Tahlia wrapped her arms around Cornelia and started sobbing “Cornelia…”
Comelia asked. “What’s wrong, why are you crying?”
Tahlia said, “I couldn’t reach you earlier and I was scared. I was afraid I couldn’t find you, afraid of losing you.”
Cornelia gently patted her back and said, “That won’t happen. We’ll always be together. Marcus is here too, go say
hi and then we can sort through our grandma’s stuff
Tahlia asked. “I thought he wasn’t coming to Rosenberg. Why is he here?”
Comelia replied, “He’s here for some business.”
Tahlia said, “Cornelia”
Cornelia said, “Speak your mind, Tahlia I’m your sister, no need to hold back.”
Tahlia said, “Once we’re back in Riverton, I think I’m going to rent my own place. I still have some savings that
should last me until I find a job. I’m an adult now, and since I used to have a thing for Marc, it feels a bit weird to
live with you guys.”
Cornelia said, “You can stay at my place for now, no need to go anywhere else. Once you’re financially stable, you
can think about moving out. If it makes you uncomfortable, I won’t let Marcus come around when you’re there.”
Upon hearing this, Tahlia felt even more awkward. “But it’s your house and he’s your husband. It doesn’t feel right

Cornelia said, “You’re my sister and I’m your sister. Don’t ever say that again.”
Tahlia said, “Alright, I’ll take your word for it” She took Cornelia’s kindness to heart.
She also made a silent vow to work hard, earn money, and become stronger so she could protect Cornelia.
Granny Rebecca didn’t leave much behind, hardly anything of value. Cornelia had some savings and bought Granny
Rebecca a fridge worth over a thousand dollars. But after they moved to Riverton, the fridge was sold by Robison
and his wife
The most abundant things left were books, most of which were textbooks from Granny Rebecca’s teaching days,
each annotated meticulously by her. As Cornelia was sorting through the books, she came across a notebook
wrapped in old newspaper
Opening the cover, she saw Granny Rebecca’s handwriting. She kept flipping the pages, and when she saw the
contents of the second page, her mind went blank
