Chapter 900

Marcus squeezed Cornelia’s hand, “Are you still mad at me?”

“Do I look mad?” she shot back

“I was just worried you were,” Marcus said.

“Remember when we fought? You said we should always talk things out rationally, no matter what I remember that I’m not going to throw a tantrum” Cornelia mplied. During their previous argument, Cornelia, in a fit of anger, let slip the word ‘divorce”. She regretted it immensely afterward. She believed that no matter the circumstances were, “divorce” was a word not to be taken lightly, as it could cause great harm to both parties in a marriage.

“III remember that too, Marcus reassured her, giving her hand another squeeze

Upstairs, Briana noticed Cornelia was missing again. “Granny Luisa, where’s Cornelia” she asked.

Granny Luisa searched around in a hurry but couldn’t find her, and she became even more anxious. “We should look for her, just in case something happened to Nelly” she

said anxiously

“Calm down, Granny Luisa,” Abigail said. “I bet she knew her husband was coming home and couldn’t wait to see him, so she went downstairs to greet him”

As soon as Abigail finished speaking. Cornelia and Marcus appeared, hand in hand.

Abigail and Granny Luisa exchanged glances See, Granny Luisa? I told you so,” Abigail said with a smirk.

“Abby, do you have a boyfriend?” Granny Luisa asked. “If not, I can set you up with a good man.”

*Thanks, but I’ve got a boyfriend now. We actually just visited his parents the other day. I wish I’d met you sooner, so you could’ve introduced me to a handsome guy like Marcus. Abigail replied

“Well, don’t forget to invite me to your wedding.” Granny Luisa said.

“Of course,” Abigail reassured her.

Cornelia and Marcus joined them. “What are you guys talking about?” Cornelia asked.

“Did you go downstairs specially to meet Marcus?” Granny Luisa asked.

“Yes, I did,” Cornelia replied.

The two young lovers sat down, hands tightly clasped, neither willing to let go. Seeing their affectionate display, Granny Luisa felt a sense of relief. She looked at the urn containing Granny Rebecca’s ashes and said quietly to herself, “Rebecca, you see? They’re very much in love. We did the right thing bringing them together.”

“Granny Luisa, tonight I’ll stay with Nelly and everyone to keep watch. It’s getting late, so you should go back to your room and rest. Granny Luisa was getting older, staying up late was not good for her health, and Marcus was worried about her well-being.

“I’m not in a hurry. There are a few things I need to discuss, Granny Luisa said, adjusting her position for comfort. “Nelly, you haven’t prepared your grandmother’s grave yet, have you? Let Marcus handle it.”

“My grandma didn’t want me to worry, so she bought her own plot years ago,” Cornelia explained.

Granny Luisa finally felt at ease. “You young people stay here. I’m going to bed,” she said.

Marcus and Cornelia escorted her to her room. As they were about to leave, Granny Luisa took Cornelia’s hand. “Nelly, stay. I have something to say to you. Marcus, you can

go”

“Alright,” Marcus said, kindly closing the door behind him.

Granny Luisa held Cornelia’s hand tightly, sobbing as she said, “Nelly, I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!”
