Chapter 694
Granny Luisa looked at Grandpaâs photo and said, âMarcus brought Cornelia to see you. You take a good look at Nelly. Sheâs an amazing girl, not only goodâlooking but also very kindâhearted. Marcus winning her over is like hitting the jackpot.â
Cornelia blushed as she listened, and Briana chimed in, âAbsolutely, I think itâs my brotherâs good fortune to marry Cornelia.â
Granny Luisa turned to Marcus, âWhy arenât you saying anything?â
Marcus, âWhat should I say?â
Granny Luisa, âDo I have to spoonâfeed you? Of course, you need to brag about your wife to your grandpa.â
Marcus was a bit exasperated but did as told, âGrandpa, do you see? This rosyâcheeked girl next to me is my wife, Cornelia, from Rosenberg. Today I solemnly promise you, Iâll be good to her.â
Marcus suddenly getting serious really took Cornelia aback, âStop praising me already. Iâm getting nervous.â
Granny Luisa, âYouâre always blushing; get a thicker skin, especially around Marcus. If he dares bullies you, you must tell me, and Iâll give him a piece of my mind.â
Cornelia clung to Granny Luisaâs arm and said cutely, âI donât want you to scold him. Itâd hurt me if you do.â
âOh my, starting to protect him already. If you spoil him now, heâll take your affection for granted and might bully you in the future.â Granny Luisa said this but she was actually over the moon. What could be more heartening than Comelia protecting her grandson. âIâm not worried about him bullying me, because I feel heâs been good to me too.â This marriage may not have started out of love, but Cornelia still wanted to put in the effort.
Marcus gave her respect and care, and she wanted to reciprocate the same to him. There was no rule saying only men could pamper women, women could also pamper men.
She wanted to safeguard Marcus, wishing for his life to be peaceful without any trouble. Her wishes were as simple as that, nothing
more.
Corneliaâs words really touched Granny Luisa, who sighed again, âNelly, Marcus is really lucky to have you.â
Cornelia said, âMeeting him is also my good fortune.â
Briana, âGranny, Cornelia, if you keep going like this, Iâm gonna barf.â
Some things were better said once. All this backâandâforth was so dull. Since they were all family now, t should be more straightforward, no need for all the politeness.
Granny Luisa said, âYouâre such a rascal. You should learn from Cornelia.â
Cornelia said, âBri is a great person, I really like her.â
Granny Luisa happily said, âSee, youâre even ready to protect your sisterâinâlaw now.â
