Chapter 1207
Cornelia had been painting all morning, and it wasnât until Patricia came upstairs to call her for lunch that she realized she had lost track of time Rubbing her sore arm, she asked, âPatricia, what tasty grub have you whipped up for lunch?
âI made some baked salmon.â Patricia said
Hearing that, Cornelia got so excited she started hopping around, clutching Patriciaâs arm, âPatricia, youâre such a star. I was just thinking about having some salmon, and here you are, serving it up.â
Watching the carefree Cornelia, Patricia couldnât help but feel worried, âNelly, did you have a proper talk with Marc last night?â
Cornelia shook her head, âNopeâ
âWhy not? The best time to sort out coupleâs issues is before bedtime. Men are usually more inclined to listen then.â Patricia said.
Cornelia laughed, âPatricia, I havenât seen Granny Luisa in a while. I donât have any plans this afternoon, so why donât we go visit her after lunch?â
Patricia sighed. âThat sounds like a good plan. Marc always listens to Granny Luisa If heâs giving you trouble, you should talk to her. Let her set him straight
Comelia chuckled, âMarcâs not giving me any troubleâ
Frustrated, Patricia said, âHe had another woman stay the night at your house. How is that not giving you trouble?â
âHe invited Tahlia to stay for my sake.â Cornelia said.
âBut this morning.â Patricia said.
Cornelia, not wanting to revisit the morningâs events, quickly cut Patricia off
âPatricia, I didnât have breakfast, and Iâm starving. Letâs go have lunchâ Cornelia said
Worried about Corneliaâs hunger, Patricia agreed, âAlright, letâs go eat.â
After lunch, Cornelia tidied up a bit and drove Patricia to the Hartley Mansion.
The news that she might soon become a greatâgrandmother had Granny Luisa in high spirits; she even had a spring in her step
When she saw that Cornelia had come to visit, Granny Luisa was over the moon, constantly showing her things, âNelly, do you think this is pretty? I got it just for you.â
A moment later, she asked, âNelly, Patricia tells me youâve been cooped up at home and not going out. Are you short on cash?â
Cornelia replied, âI have moneyâ
But Granny Luisa still handed her a diamond black card, âTake this card. You can use it however you want. Youâre young, you should go out with your friends more if you see something you like, just buy it.â
Cornelia pushed the card back, âGranny Luisa, youâve already given me so much. The money I make every month from those businesses is more than enough for me. You donât need to give me more
âThatâs hardly enough. You should go out more instead of always staying at home. Granny Luisa said.
With a resigned sigh, Cornelia said, â1ve been busy with work recently, so I havenât been going out. Once Iâve finished up, Iâll go out more!
Granny Luisa asked suspiciously, âReally?â
Cornelia said, âGranny Luisa, why would I lie to you? If you donât believe me, you can ask Patriciaâ
Granny Luisa laughed, âPatricia is very fond of you, so Iâm afraid she might lie for you as well.â
Patricia jumped in, âGranny Luisa, you are mistaken there.â
Suddenly, Granny Luisa remembered something. âOh, Granny Wilson is throwing a party soon to find a match for her grandson, Leonardo. Cornelia, how about you go with me to check it out?â
