Chapter 737
Comelia shot a blushing glance at Marcus before turning tail and scooting off.
Abigail, who had been keeping an eye on the couple, didn’t miss their subtle exchange. Once Cornelia was out of
the kitchen, Abigail hauled her into her own room. “Nelly, we didn’t finish our chat on WhatsApp, let’s pick up where
we left off.”
Cornelia’s cheeks were still flush, her face felt like it was on fire, and the weather wasn’t helping either. She worried
that if they kept chatting, she might just pass out from the heat “Can you dial down the AC a bit first?”
As Abigail adjusted the AC, she said, “The way he looks at you, it’s just dripping with love and sweetness.”
Hearing this, Cornelia couldn’t help but feel a twinge of delight, but she played it cool. “His expression barely

Abigail responded, “I’m not blind. It’s so obvious, I definitely see it. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel a thing.”
Comelia confessed, “I did feel something, that’s why I was a bit jittery”
Abigail prodded, “Why so jittery?”
Cornelia confessed, “I think he likes me, and he said as much. I’m just worried that he likes me too much and I can’t
reciprocale.”
Abigail asked, “When did he say he likes you? Was it during some steamy moment?”
Comelia shot back, “Stop talking nonsense, he’s not like that. Besides, we haven’t done it yet.”
Abigail retorted. “Cornelia, do you think I’m an idiot?”
Cornelia replied, “When have I ever thought you’re an idiot? In my book, you’re the brainy one.”
Abigail went on. “Then why are you telling me you guys haven’t slept together? Those marks on your lips, they’re
clear as day. You guys. were in the room for a long time when you were changing, and you came out with more
marks on your lips. And you’re still denying it?”
Comelia clarified, “I didn’t say we didn’t kiss. Kissing is kissing, and having sex is another story.”
Abigail continued, “You guys spent two nights together, and your lips are all swollen from kissing. If nothing else
happened, unless the guy has issues, it’s impossible…”
Cornelia quickly covered Abigail’s mouth and craned her neck to check the corridor, “Don’t make a scene about
this.”
Cornelia’s anxiety surprised Abigail, “Does your man actually have issues?!”
Comelia snapped, “Stop it!”

Abigail exclaimed, “Oh my god! Did I hit the nail on the head?”
Comelia whispered, “Keep it down.”
Abigail lamented, “He’s so good–looking, but he has issues! What a waste.”
Cornelia retorted, “There’s no rule saying good–looking guys can’t have issues.”
Comelia didn’t think it was a big deal, but to Abigail, it was a catastrophe. “Cornelia, do you know what it means
when a guy is all looks
and no action?”
Cornelia asked, “What does it mean?”
Abigail was so flustered she was at a loss for words. After a moment, she finally managed, “It means your married
life will never be normal. You’re only 24, if you live to 80, that’s over 50 years of no action. How are you going to
survive all those years?”
Comelia really admired Abigail’s way of thinking, as she can even consider things that will happen decades later.
“Even if we can’t, it’s no biggie. It’s not like I have a strong need for that sort of thing anyway.”
