Chapter 1119

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Comelia was momentarily stunned.

The three brothers next to her, on the other hand, were whooping with excitement, “Emily, what the heck are you doing? Aren’t you the one who never lets anyone kiss you and never kisses anyone else?”

He never lets them kiss him, yet he let a stranger do so. Was this still the Emily they knew?

Emily scrunched up his little face in confusion, “Can’t I kiss my own niece?”

“Alright, enough” Grandpa Duran Intervened. “She’s been tired all afternoon, let her rest a bit. You guys go play.”

‘Til rest with her” Emily offered.

“No, you won’t! Grandpa Duran replied

Comelia interjected, it’s okay. If he wants to hang out with me, I’m happy.”

Comelia had always wanted to have a child with Marcus, but she hadn’t been able to conceive. Having someone else’s child to cuddle was just as good

“Fine” Grandpa Duran conceded, “If you want to take him, take him. Emily, remember, don’t bother Cornelia.”

I’m a well–behaved little angel, I won’t make a fuss. Emily assured.

Comella was again amused by his soft voice. He even praised himself, how adorable!

Grandpa Duran lived in a villa with plenty of rooms, and he had prepared a room with excellent lighting for Cornelia well in advance. The room was upstairs and had a separate walk–in closet, a study, and a large balcony. The decor and bedding were all designed in colors and styles that young girls would like

From the way Grandpa Duran introduced Cornelia to the Duran family today, as well as his arrangements for her, Cornelia could feel his affection for her. He truly treated her like his own granddaughter.

Could it be that she was actually related to Grandpa Duran?

For a moment, Comelia’s mind was filled with thoughts. She thought about her father’s origins, the letter in her grandmother’s diary, and the results of her own DNA test with her grandmother. The diary clearly stated that the second son was adopted, yet her DNA test with her grandmother showed a blood relationship

This meant that her father, Hawthome, was actually her grandmother’s child. But how did that explain the letter in her grandmother’s diary?

After much contemplation, a daring idea emerged in Cornelia’s mind. Could it be that the woman who attempted suicide with her child, as mentioned in her grandmother’s diary, was actually her grandmother herself?

Perhaps her grandmother had been abandoned by a heartless man who left her and their child behind, forcing her to attempt suicide with her child, only to be saved by her grandfather. Or perhaps her grandmother had a change of heart, deciding to live a good life with her child even without that man, and therefore marrying her grandfather.

In order to remind herself and sever ties with the past completely, her grandmother wrote herself a letter, warning herself not to repeat her past mistakes.

However, Cornelia quickly dismissed this idea as too radical and unlikely.

Seeing Cornelia lost in her thoughts after returning to her room, Emily approached her, “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing” Cornelia smiled

“Uncle Duran says you’re really tired and should rest. You should go to sleep, I’ll stay with you.” Emily suggested.

“I’m not tired, I can’t sleep Cornelia replied.

“Why aren’t you tired?” Emily asked.

Before Cornelia could reply, there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was Marcus, she hastily put down her little companion and rushed to the door, only to find a stranger standing outside instead

The stranger politely said, “Ms Stewart, good evening! My master would like to meet you. Would you be so kind as to grant us a moment of your time?”

Comelia asked, “Who is it?”
