Chapter 252
âAlright, letâs move on from your toeâbiting phase and talk about your bed wetting daysâ Clanny Rebecca said, not caring that Granny Luisa was there
Comelia knew she couldnât stop them, so she gave up As long as they were happy that was all that mattered
What surprised Comelia was that neither of the old ladies asked about Jeremy
After the pizza was ready Granny Luisa had a slice. She really thought it was good, âNelly, your pizza is delicious Can I bring some to the neighbors?â
âSure, Granny ni make another one right awayâ Comelia made another pizza and said, âI bring it to the neighborâ
âToâ Granny Luisa went out, chuckling
Granny Rebecca had been living here for a while and had never heard of a neighbor living next door, but she didnât pry
After lunch, Comelia sat in the yard with the two old ladies, chatting and basking in the sun. It was a moment so beautiful that Cornelia wished time could stop
The grannies were getting older by the day, and the chances to be with them were dwindling Because of this, Comelia decided to stay overnight and return to Riverton tomorrow She wanted to spend as much time with the grannies as she could otherwise she might not get another chance.
After dinner Comelia stayed in a guest room on the second floor She was used to staying in hotels due to her frequent trips so she fell asleep right away without any fuss about the bed
Not long after she lay down, the doorknob was gently turned
Marcus, who was outside turning the knob, was stopped by Granny Luisa who suddenly appeared. âSneaking into a gifâs room in the middle of the night is not gentlemanlyâ
Aarcus stopped what he was doing and looked at Granny Luisa, who was full of energy, âGranny, youâre still up?
âJust to prevent you from sneaking into the house and doing something to Nelly, I didnât dare go to sleep, Granny Luisa replied.
Marcus said âI was just going to check on my wife Why do you make it sound like Iâm some kind of villain?â
âYour wideâ if you dare, go in there and call her wife and see if she responds,â Granny Luisa challenged him, âLasked Nelly today, and she has no feelings for you as Marcus if she knew Marcus was Jeremy, sheâd divorce you right awayâ
Cornelia was with him every day He knew her feelings for him better than anyone. Because he knew he dared not reveal his true identity.
Seeing his silence Granny Luisa anxiously said, âWhatâs your plan? if Nelly even thinks about divorce again, you may not be able to salvage the situation.â
*Divorce?â Marcus suddenly got angry as a terrible thought popped into his mind, âWhy donât I settle everything tonight? Then you can see your greatâgrandchild sooner!â
Granny Luisa was frightened by his look, âMarc, you canât just do whatever you want. Although I really want to see a greatâgrandchild, it must be Nellyâs decision. You cant force her to do anything she doesnât want
to do
Marcus laughed. âGranny, I was just joking I wasnât serious. Do you really think Iâm someone who would do anything to achieve my goal?â
