Chapter 727
Breakfast was a feast, all Corneliaâs favorite foods.
Even though it was just breakfast, Patricia insisted on taking care of Cornelia. âNelly, we didnât know what youâd fancy today, so we made a bit of everything you usually like. Chow down on whatever you love and leave the rest.â
With the table heaving with food, it was clear that some would go to waste, which bothered Cornelia. âPatricia, Iâm not a big breakfast eater, just a nibble is enough for me. No need to go all out next time.â
âAlright,â Patricia replied.
The two grannies had already had their breakfast and were now sitting at the table, their eyes on Cornelia and Marcus.
With Patricia joining them, a total of three pairs of eyes were watching Cornelia, making her feel quite uneasy. âGrannies, Patricia, I canât eat with you all staring at me like this.â
âAlright, alright, weâll look away. Enjoy your meal,â The three pretended to look away, only to sneak peeks when Cornelia lowered her head to eat.
They chatted quietly as they watched.
Granny Luisa asked, âDoes Nelly look a bit off today?â
Granny Rebecca replied, âI noticed when they came downstairs holding hands.â
Patricia added, âShe might not have had a good sleep last night. Sheâs got bags under her eyes.â
Granny Luisa asked, âIs it for the reason Iâm thinking?â
Granny Rebecca replied, âTheyâre young, we donât need to worry too much. They can handle it. But Nelly does look a bit tired, while Marc seems full of beans.â
Granny Luisa suggested, âShould we remind Marc to go easy on her next time? We donât want Nelly too worn out.â
Patricia responded, âMarc adores Nelly. He knows his limits. I donât think we need to remind him.â
Granny Rebecca said, âNellyâs a shy one. If we need to remind him, we should do it when sheâs not around.â
Granny Luisa suggested, âLetâs keep an eye on things for a bit.â
Patricia sighed, âYou donât know. When Nelly first came to Celestial Chateau as Marcâs assistant, I hoped sheâd become Marcâs wife. Iâm so lucky, my wish came true.â
Granny Luisa added, âSame here. When Nelly first came to Riverton for college years ago, I

hoped sheâd end up with Marc.â
Granny Rebecca laughed, âNo wonder you kept showing me pictures of your grandson. Youâve had your eye on this match for a while.â
Granny Luisa replied, âGood girls always have plenty of suitors, I was afraid someone else would snatch Nelly up if I wasnât quick.â
Patricia complimented, âYouâre so clever.â
Granny Luisa chuckled, âOf course.â
Everyone loved Cornelia, but Granny Rebecca was the happiest. âThank you for loving Nelly. With you all here, I have nothing to worry about.â
Granny Luisa added, âNelly is such a lovable girl.â
Patricia agreed, âAbsolutely, Nelly is very lovable. I remember the food she made, they were so delicious. Still fresh in my mind.â
Nowadays, many young girls didnât know how to cook, and they may even burn a simple dish. Cornelia could not only cook but her food was delicious, which was a big plus in the eyes of the older generation.
Patricia had a very favorable impression of Cornelia, not just because she was beautiful and warmâhearted, but she was also a good cook⦠A girl with all these traits, how could you not love her?
Granny Rebecca laughed, âNelly is great, she is⦠but we canât keep singing her praises all the time or she might become conceited.â
After the discussion, the three again turned their eyes to Cornelia, who was eating and texting on her phone, her face a rosy red, as if it was about to bleed.
