Cornelia was like, “Will you tell me?”
She was super into the whole Mr. Augustine saga, and Marcus didn’t want to rain on her parade, so he
spilled it all out, “The death of Mr. Augustine’s wife and kid is all tangled up with his family.”
Cornelia jumped up, “Seriously? His own kin caused his wife and kid to bite the dust? What kind of sc
umba gs…”
Marcus told her to cool it and sit back down, “Chill, let me finish my story.”
Cornelia was like, “Go on.”
Marcus continued, “Mr. Augustine’s family is from the Capital, typical blue-bloods. Who he was gonna
marry was pretty much a done deal from the mament he was born. But Mr. Augustine wasn’t down with
the chick his fam wanted him to marry. He tried to call off the engagement a few times, but got shot
down each time.”
Cornelia sighed, “Rich families always put their interests first, never giving a da mn about how their kids
feel. Probably see them as pawns to expand the family business. Whether they’re actually happy or
not, nobody gives a cr ap.”
She then realized that she might have hit a nerve with Marcus, “Jeremy, I wasn’t throwing shade at the
Hartley family.”
Marcus just ruffled her hair, “Still wanna hear about Mr. Augustine?”
Cornelia nodded, “I’m all ears.”
Marcus went on, “The news about Mr. Augustine trying to bail on the engagement reached his fiancee
pretty quick. So she cooked up a plan to meet him. She confessed she had eyes for someone else and
didn’t want to get hitched either. They decided to ditch their families and fight against this cr ap py
arranged marriage.”
Cornelia asked, “Did she make a run for it? Did she end up with the guy she had the hots for? Did she
live happily ever after?
Marcus replied, “She did and they’re living the dream. They’re both in their nineties now and still
kicking.”
Cornelia asked, “You know them?”
Marcus nodded, “Mr. Augustine and her might not have wanted to be husband and wife, but they
became best buds. They kept in touch and I happened to know them.”
Cornelia was like, “Awesome! Now dish on how Mr. Augustine met his wife.”
Marcus continued, “After Mr. Augustine escaped from the Capital, he ended up in Sunflower Springs.
That’s where he met his wife Mr. Augustine’s wife was just a regular gal, but rumor has it that he fell
head over heels for her in a heartbeat. Mr. Augustine was a hottie, and from the Capital no less, What
girl wouldn’t fall for him? He wooed her and in no time, she was all his. They tied the knot and even had
a kid. Then Mr. Augustine’s grandpa got sick and he went back to the Capital to see him. When he
came back, his wife and kid were gone.”
Cornelia asked, “Was it an accident?”
Marcus replied, “That’s the word on the street. His family might not have been cool with some regular
girl, but they wouldn’t snuff out Mr. Augustine’s kid.”
“Mr. Augustine must have been crushed.” Just hearing the news made Cornelia feel like the rug had
been pulled out from under her like she was suffocating.
She couldn’t even picture what it must have been like for Mr. Augustine. Everything was fine when he
left, but when he came back his wife and kid were gone. That had to be
kick in the teeth.
Marcus said, “I’m not sure how low he was, but I know he’s been beating himself up over it for
decades. He always says, if only he hadn’t gone back to the Capital, his wife and kid would still be alive
and kicking”
Cornelia held tight to Marcus’ arm, “We never know if a curveball or the future will hit us first. We gotta
cherish every moment and not wait until we lose it to regret it.”
