Abigail jabbed Dylan in the shoulder, "I know you tricked Cornelia into stealing Brennen's car before. Now Brennen's been nabbed and you're left with no one to lean on, and you want to con me? You think I'm an easy mark, huh?"
"That was a misunderstanding." Dylan replied.
"What misunderstanding?" Abigail asked.
"Agree to be my girlfriend, and I'll explain it all." Dylan responded.
Abigail pointed to the door, "Get out."
"But Abigail, I really like you." Dylan pleaded.
"Dylan, I can't stand you! You make my skin crawl. Can you just not show up in front of me anymore, okay?!" She retorted.
"Abigail." Dylan said.
"If you don't get out now, I'm calling the cops." Abigail threatened, cutting him off.
Abigail was a hot-head, really hard to handle. And from her vibes, she didn't have the hots for him at all, so Dylan had to make himself scarce.
He couldn’t force feelings. They took time.
Dylan had just left when Zack show up, "Abby, what are you peeping at?"
"You remember Dylan, right?" She asked.
"Yeah, what about him?" Zack replied.
"He just left, I was spying on him. He's been waiting here for me for days, says he's got the hots for me and wants to woo me." She explained.
After healing, Cornelia threw herself into her work completely. First, she and Hannah set up a women's self-help group.
Thanks to Hannah's clout, and the Duran family women's social standing, they made a big splash. Many influential women came forward to support their group.
As the group gained traction, more and more women sought their help. In just one month, they'd already helped a lot of people.
Cornelia's work didn't suffer either. Her scriptwriting was going smoothly. After she sent the first draft to Foriver Entertainment's honcho, they were pleased and everything was looking up.
Soon, months passed and Christmas was just around the corner. Cornelia's belly had grown noticeably, looking very round and heavy.
She felt worn out not only in daily life but even when sleeping. But seeing her belly grow each day and hearing the doctor say the little nugget inside was healthy, no matter how tired, Cornelia felt it was all worth it.
This morning, as soon as she woke up, Cornelia received a call from Hannah.
