Chapter 1275
Grandpa Augustine was getting edgy âComelia, are you still hung up on that jerk who betrayed you? I know Marcus was a catch, but whatâs it wo Hearing this, Comellia felt a pang in her heart. She knew Marcus didnt have her in his heart. She didnât need anyone to remind her
when he doeprit even have you in his heart?
Noticing the pain in Comeliaâs eyes, Jarvis quickly cut in, âGrandpa Augustine, I personally think lack plays a big part in whether two people end up together itâs not like we can just pair up because our parents want us to. Despite pushing thirty. I still donât have plans to tie the knot. Iâm just here to fulfil a duty assigned by the elders
Hearing that the guy was on the same page and also had no plans to marry, Comelia breathed a sigh of relief, âYouâre right, Jarvis Fate and feelings for each other matter a lot
Comeliaâs sincerity was not lost on Jarvis, but he chose to remain silent
Grandpa Augustine glared at Jarvis, âJarvis, you didnât say that before you came here You changed your tune after meeting Comelia Is it because you donât like the look of my granddaughter? Or do you think sheâs beneath you because sheâs divorced?â
Jarvis responded, âGrandpa Augustine, youâve got the wrong idea about me. Iâm not that kind of guy How about this? Comelia and I can exchange contact information and start off as friends.â
Patricia was listening from the side. She noticed how quickly he transitioned from calling her Ms. Stewart to Comellia
Started off as friends? The look in his eyes when he looked at Cornelia hardly screamed just friends Comelia was no fool. She must have seen through him. She couldnât be fooled by him.
Without giving Cornelia a chance to respond, Jarvis immediately took out his phone, âComelia, can you give me your contact information?
The phone was already in front of her. Cornelia instinctively took it
Looking at the name on the social media account, Jarvis chuckled. âNelly? Thatâs a cute name.â
Comelia responded, âOnly my friends call me that. You can just call me Comelia.â
Jarvis replied, âAlright. My social media account name is Jarvis. You can just call me Jarvis.
Patricia was getting antsy on the side. Cornelia was usually so sharp. Why couldnât she see through this man? He was just trying to lower her guard before making a move.
Could Comelia, with her limited experience in love, handle a man who had looks, wealth, and a mind for strategy?
After some thought, Patricia spoke up, âComelia.â
But Grandpa Augustine beat her to it, âPatricia, could you do me a favor and make me a cup of coffee? I donât like drinking water I prefer coffeeâ
âComelia. Patricia echoed.
âPatricia, please.â Cornelia insisted.
âAlright.â With a tinge of reluctance, Patricia went to make the coffee, but she couldnât take her eyes off the living room.
In the living room, Jarvis got up, âGrandpa Augustine, Cornelia, I have some matters to attend to, so Iâll be going now. Iâll be staying in Riverton for a while. Iâll treat you guys to a meal when I have the time. How does that sound?â
âGo ahead and take care of your business. When you have the time, Iâll arrange a meal.â Grandpa Augustine said.
Comelia also cheerily saw the guest out, âTake care.â
Before leaving, Jarvis gave Cornelia another look, âNelly, you seem to have a red rash on your neck.â
Comelia had felt an itch on her neck earlier but didnât pay much attention to it. It wasnât until Jarvis pointed it out that she realized it could be an allergic reaction to peanuts.
Patricia had forgotten about her peanut allergy, so there were peanuts in her lunch today. Seeing how happy Patricia was, Comellia didnât have the heart to reject her kindness. She thought it would be fine to just eat a little. But she underestimated her allergic reaction to peanuts, âItâs just a bit of an allergy. Iâll be fine.â
