Chapter 71
Marcus was like, “Just spit it out if you have something to say ”
Ryan approached Marcus, whispering all mysteriously. “I saw your wife and her boyfriend chowing down at this joint too, wanna go say hi?”
Marcus turned his head and sure enough, there they were, the couple he couldn’t stand, chatting away all happily
Tm outta here “Marcus bolted up and left, no way he could dine with them around
Ryan quickly followed, smirking like a jerk, “C’mon Marc, you guys were once married, just break up and make peace. You ain’t the only cuckold out there, no need to be embarrassed Marcus snapped, “Did you tell her about the divorce proceedings tomorrow?”
Ryan whipped out his phone, 711 do it now. Chill, as long as she’s in Rosenberg, she ain’t going anywhere”
Cornelia was having a blast with her buddies when her private phone suddenly rang
She picked it up, it was Ryan, “Ms. Stewart, I forgot to tell you earlier, you and Mr. Artis have an appointment at 9 am tomorrow at Waterside District for your divorce proceedings”
Cornelia replied, “Alright.”
Abigail and Zack asked, “What’s up?”
Cornelia grinned, “One of the three best things in life.”
Abigail blurted out, “A promotion, a raise or your husband kicking the bucket?”
Cornelia broke out a laugh, “Well, the lawyer told me to get the divorce down tomorrow. I’m about to get single!”
Zack chimed in, “These good news just keep coming! We gotta celebrate big time tonight.”
Cornelia agreed, “Sounds good, let’s have a couple drinks!”
”
Before they even started drinking, Cornelia’s private phone rang again. She saw it was her grandma calling and raised an eyebrow, “Hey grandma, I’m out having dinner with Zack and Abby”
An unfamiliar voice came through the phone, “Is this Cornelia? Your grandma is seriously ill, she’s in Rosenberg Hospital right now.”
There were no flights to Rosenberg that night, so Cornelia booked the first flight the next morning.
After a two–hour flight, the plane landed safely at Rosenberg Airport. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Cornelia had been worried sick all night and now her mind was a mess
As soon as she got off the plane and turned on her phone, a call came through.
Scared it was bad news, her hand shock as she answered, “Hello…”
It was Ryan’s voice, “Ms. Stewart, you and Mr. Artis were supposed to be at Waterside District at 9 a m. for your divorce proceedings. It’s past 9 now, where are you?”
Ryan was really worried, if this got screwed up, Marcus would definitely blame him.
Cornelia let out a sigh of relief, as it wasn’t bad news about her grandma. It took her a few seconds to remember she had agreed to the divorce proceedings today, “Sorry, I’ve been really busy lately, let’s reschedule another day.”
Ryan thought he was screwed.
Marcus glanced at his watch, Tm giving you one hour. If she’s not here in an hour, you figure it out.”
