Chapter 1274
Granny Luisa continued, âIf Nelly could find someone she likes, someone who could really treat her well, we should wish her wellâ
Patricia said. âI get what youâre saying. I also want Nelly to be happy. But selfishly. I think Nellyâs happiness should come from Mareâ
Granny Luisa sald, âHappiness shouldnât be decided by other people, happiness should be something you give yourselfâ
Patricia fell silent
Granny Luisa said. âI hang up now. When the doctor is done with the tests, let me know the resultsâ
âOkay.â Patricia thought of Cornelia and Marcus, possibly never having a chance again, and she felt really bummed out. As she looked up, she saw Jarvisâs gaze rest on Cornelia. His eyes were filled with admiration, scrutiny, and a hint of unyielding determination
This wouldnât do She couldnât let Nelly be snatched up by someone else so quickly, she had to think of a way to stop this
After a moment, Patricia suddenly said loudly. âNelly, Granny Luisa hasnât been feeling well lately and she could really use some company Marc and Bri are both super busy. leaving her all alone in the Hartley Mansion, itâs heartbreaking Do you want to corne with me to the Hartley Mansion to keep Granny Luisa company?â
As soon as she finished talking, Patricia appeared in front of everyone. She pretended to just notice the others, âOh my, Augustine, youâre back so soon? And who is this gentleman? Is he your driver?â
Mistaken for driver, Jarvis was not offended, but nodded to Patricia with a smile, âSorry to bother youâ
Grandpa Augustine asked. âDid you just say you want Nelly to go back to the Hartley Mansion?â
Patricia said, âYes, Granny Luisa has always spoiled Nelly, she hopes Nelly could come back to keep her companyâ
Grandpa Augustine said, âIf she really thinks of Nelly as family, she wouldnât tolerate her grandson treating Nelly this way. Tell her, Nelly and Marcus are divorced now Nelly is looking for a new partner, and I hope she wonât interfere with Nellyâs new life.â
Patricia fell silent Grandpa Augustine had caught her off guard Her plan had failed.
Cornelia was sitting in between, feeling super awkward. She couldnât take sides, so she changed the subject, âGrandpa Augustine, have you and Jarvis had lunch? Should I Grandpa Augustine interrupted her, âWeâve already eaten. I brought Jarvis over without telling you in advance, fearing you would find all sorts of reasons to turn us awayâ
Cornelia fell silent Grandpa Augustine was too blunt.
Jarvis unscrewed the bottle cap, handed it to Cornelia, and took one for himself. This small detail had Grandpa Augustine very pleased, âJarvis, Nelly, do I need to introduce you two again?â
Cornelia turned to Jarvis, smiling. âJarvis, do you know I just got divorced not long ago?â
Jarvis nodded, âGrandpa Augustine has already made it very clear to meâ
Cornelia said, âIâm not planning on starting a new relationship right now, might be a letdown for you guys.â
