Chapter 212

Granny Luisa replied with a chuckle, You know, life’s been a breeze without you nagging me all the time”

Cornelia pouted, asking. Does that mean you guys don’t love me anymore? What should I do now?

The two grannies burst into laughter at her adorable act. After a lively chat, Cornelia finally spilled the beans, “Granny, do you know what shoe size Jeremy wears?”

On hearing this, Rebecca quickly glanced at Luisa, as if to say. “See, I told you those two would patch things up, but you wouldn’t believe me”

Granny Luisa was grinning from ear to ear but didn’t want to embarrass Cornelia, so she didn’t dig too deep and just gave her Jeremy’s shoe size

Cornelia saw the little exchange between the grannies, but she played dumb, not wanting them to feel let down, “Alright You guys carry on with your meal, I call in a few days”

“Okay, sweetheart, remember to eat on time and don’t overwork yourself, Rebecca said. Before Cornelia could reply, the video call ended abruptly

After the call ended, the two grannies were as giddy as kids with new toys.

Luisa excitedly said. Did you hear that? Did you hear that Cornelia is buying shoes for Jeremy!”

Rebecca rolled her eyes. “They’re already living together, what’s the big deal in buying a pair of shoes.”

Luisa said. Then let’s hope they quickly give us a grandchild.”

Rebecca replied. “I need to get back in shape fast so I can help them babysit.”

Luisa agreed, “Yes, let’s babysit together.”

While the grannies were planning about babysitting, Cornelia was worried if Jeremy would like the shoes she bought.

All the guys she knew wore formal shoes to work, she wasn’t sure if sports shoes would be apt.

After much deliberation, she finally picked a pair of white running shoes priced at $800, which made her a little hesitant.

She wasnt extravagant and the most expensive pair of shoes she ever bought didn’t even cost a grand, so a price tag of $800 was a bit daunting.

Seeing her hesitation, the salesperson quickly pitched in. These shoes are endorsed by a famous sports star. Not only do they look good, but they’re also made with advanced tech which makes them super light and bouncy. They’re perfect for running and provide ultimate comfort and safety.”

Cornelia didn’t care about the celebrity endorsement, but the safety and comfort part convinced her. She asked, “Can I try them on?”

“Of course,” the salesperson quickly fetched a pair of women’s shoes for Cornelia to try on.

She tried them on and found them indeed comfortable

She decided to buy them.

“Okay,” the salesperson smiled, “Are these for your boyfriend? How about you buy a pair for yourself too? They’d look really cute on couples.”

I’m okay,” she was okay spending on Jeremy but she didn’t want to splurge on herself, so she firmly declined.

Just as Cornelia was about to pay with her card, Marcus got a call from Ayden, “President Hartley, your wife just bought a pair of men’s running shoes.”

Marcus retorted coldly, “I asked you to ensure her safety, not to spy on her every move.”

Ayden replied. “Understood.”

Marcus warned, “If you invade her privacy again, I won’t let you off easily.”

Even though Marcus disapproved of Ayden’s actions, he couldn’t help but ponder who Cornelia was buying shoes for Zack? Or someone else?

As he was contemplating, his private phone lit up with a message from Cornelia, “Jeremy, I have a gift for you too. Send me your address and I’ll mail it to you.”
