Chapter 1324

Seeing Cornelia in high spirits, Grandpa Augustine’s anxiety from the previous night finally eased, “Nelly, I was worried you might not sleep well last night, but looks like you had a good one”

Cornelia said, “Indeed, I slept soundly.”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Let’s have breakfast first. I’ll drive you home later.”

“Sure.” Cornelia nodded, couldn’t help but look around, “Who usually maintains this place, grandpa?”

“Alfredo arranges it.” Grandpa Augustine said, “They’ve been working for the Duran family for many years, we totally trust their work.”

Cornelia asked, “How’s the security here, grandpa?”

Grandpa Augustine was confused, “Nelly, did something scare you last night?”

Cornelia assured him, “What are you talking about?”

Grandpa Augustine asked, “Why this question then all of a sudden?”

Cornelia said, “I’m just admiring the place, it’s beautiful and cool in summer. I’m thinking of bringing the baby here to escape the heat next summer, so I wanted to know about the security, like if outsiders can get in by any means.”

Grandpa Augustine said, “If you want to bring the baby here in summer, you can rest assured. The security is top–notch. Ehen the system is on,

not even a mosquito can get in.”

Cornelia said, “I see.” She couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, what was she thinking? What was she hoping for?

Grandpa Augustine continued, “Nelly, I heard from Jarvis that you’re starting work after Christmas. And with your due date coming up, it’s going to be tough. Do you think you could quit and stay home to prepare for the birth?”

Cornelia asked, “How does Jarvis know I’m starting work?”

Grandpa Augustine said, “He’s more concerned about you than I am, how could he not know what you’re planning?”

Cornelia said, “Grandpa, could you talk to him? Get him to find a girl and focus on a relationship instead of putting all his energy on me.”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Nelly, you should know how many girls out there want to marry him, but he doesn’t give them a second glance. Jarvis is a good boy, and he’s truly excellent. I still hope you two can be together.”

Cornelia said, “Grandpa, I know Jarvis is great, and he’s good to me. But you can’t force feelings. There’s no chance for us.”

Grandpa Augustine said, ‘Of course, it’s just my personal wish, and I respect your decision.”

Cornelia said, “Thank you for understanding. Let’s go have breakfast.”

Grandpa Augustine chuckled and gently ruffled her hair, “Alright.”

Christmas was just around the corner.

The Duran family took holidays very seriously, especially Christmas. No matter where they were, everyone in the Duran family had to be home before Christmas and spend Christmas Eve together. So, recently, members of the family from all over had been returning home.

Some Cornella had met before, while others were meeting her for the first time. Since many were older than Cornelia or her elders, they were all very concerned about the baby in her belly and her marital status.

Before they met Cornelia, Grandpa Augustine had already briefed them to avoid asking about these matters as much as possible. However, curiosity always got the better of people, and everyone was keen to know about Cornelia’s child and the child’s father.
