Abigail let out a sigh, "I'm so glad it’s not your hubby. If he was messing around on the side, I'd be heartbroken."
Cornelia asked, "Why would you be heartbroken?"
Abigail replied, "Ever since I met your husband, all the leading men in the novels I read have his handsome face. If he's a cheat, I won't be able to enjoy those novels anymore."
Cornelia was left speechless.
Abigail was easily fooled, but Zack was a tough nut to crack. He chimed in, "Rich guys play fast and loose, more than we could ever imagine. Don't kid yourselves thinking they'd only stick with their wives."
Cornelia asked him, "You think so too?"
Zack replied, "I ain't no rich guy."
Abigail shot back, "Who said only rich men fool around? Look at the news online, poor men and ugly guys cheat more than rich and handsome ones."
Zack stood his ground, "I'm not like them."
Abigail asked him, "How so?"
Zack explained, "I grew up with you guys, playing girly games. You've influenced me to the point where I don't have those playboy thoughts."
Abigail jokingly patted Zack's shoulder, "Buddy, lets go to Thailand sometime. We need to make your body match your mind."
Zack added, "I think everyone has the potential to be unfaithful, not just men, women too. It's all about whether you can control it with morality. Do those who cheat not know it's immoral? Of course, they do. But knowing this, they still do it. It shows they think with their bodies, seeking only physical stimulation. Morality can't restrain them. Do those good men who love their wives and children not find other women more attractive than their wives? Sure they do. However, they can control their desires and never cross the line. They stick to their principles."
Hearing this, Cornelia couldn't help but give Zack a thumbs up, "Zack, you've got some deep thoughts. You're absolutely right, we can't generalize. There are unfaithful and faithful men, just as there are faithful and unfaithful women."
Abigail nodded in agreement.
Zack continued, “Since we're on the subject, let's talk about Jeremy.”
Cornelia said, “Zack, I'm telling you. We can talk about Jeremy, but you can't badmouth him.”
