Tahlia said, "Thanks! You go see her first, and after that, I'll treat you to a milkshake."
In the past, Clair always banned her from drinking milkshakes, considering them unhealthy and sugar-loaded, which could lead to weight gain.
Due to Clair's ban, even though Tahlia craved milkshakes, she wouldn't dare to drink them.
Cornelia chuckled, "Sure thing."
After ending the call with Tahlia, Cornelia found Clair's number and sent her a text to arrange a meeting. Shortly after sending the message, Clair called back, "Nelly, if you want to see me, no matter how busy I am, I'll make time for you."
Cornelia felt sickened by such fake words, but she calmly said, "Let's meet at Mallon at two this afternoon. Hope you'll be on time."
Clair responded, "Sure, I'm heading out now."
Cornelia hung up without further ado. She knew Clair was trying to acknowledge her as a daughter because Clair knew Marcus was her husband. Clair had clear intentions - she wanted to be the mother of Marcus' wife and get more benefits from him.
......
Two in the afternoon.
