Chapter 976
Briana said, âItâs great that you have this mindset, wanting to step out and work, which I totally support. Just wanna let you know, you shouldnât feel pressured living with your sister. Even if your sis canât cover all your expenses, Iâm still here. I have quite a bit of pocket money each month and I have my own job too. So, overall, Iâm pretty selfâsufficientâ
Tahlia asked, âDoes your job have any requirements? Can I do it?â
Briana replied, âOur requirement is a deep understanding of various comics. Weâve read so many comics together, so you definitely fit the bill.â
Tahlia started, âThen Iâ¦â
Briana interrupted, âOf course. Come with me tomorrow to check it out!â
Tahlia responded, âAlright!â
Briana said, âLetâs go help Cornelia unwrap the gifts and see what my granny has given her this time.â
Tahlia said, âItâs easy to see that Mrs. Luisa is very fond of my sisterâ
Briana said, âEver since my granny met Cornelia, my brother and I have become like adopted kids. Only Cornelia is the real deal.â
Granny Luisa said, âYou are all my treasures. Tahlia, from now on you can also call me Granny Luisa at home, just be casual.â
Tahlia smiled and said, âOkayâ
Cornelia said, âGranny Luisa, your gifts are too expensive and there are too many. I have no place to put them in my house.â
The gifts that Granny Luisa gave were some valuable antiques, which were completely mismatched with the decoration style of Corneliaâs home. It was simply a waste.
Granny Luisa said, âItâs okay, if you feel they take up space at home, then sell them.â
Cornelia fell silent. These antiques were worth more than her house. If she sold them, her assets would increase significantly. But how could she bear to sell the gifts Granny Luisa carefully prepared for her?
In addition to antiques, there were also practical things, such as a brand new oven, several sets of exquisite tableware, and prepared bedding.
Overall, Cornelia made quite a killing from this move. Even Leonardo, who was never short of money, couldnât help but feel envious, âGranny Luisa, do you need more grandsons? How about you let me be your grandson.â
Granny Luisa said, âI donât need more grandsons, but Bri needs a husband. Why donât you marry Bri. Iâve prepared a generous wedding gift for her.â
Leonardo said, âThis is no joking matter. Iâve always seen Bri as a sister. How could I possibly marry her.â
Briana said, âI see him as a brother too. Thereâs no such feeling between us, please donât make wild matches.â
Everyone cooperated while chatting and laughing. The gifts were tidied up and the meal was ready.
Thanks to Patriciaâs cooking, amnd Zack and Cornelia each making two dishes they were good at, tonightâs meal was very rich. The table was full.
With eight people in total, even sitting at a large table, there was plenty of space. Marcus and Granny Luisa sat at either end of the table.
Cornelia sat to Marcusâ right, Tahlia sat to Corneliaâs right, Briana sat to Tahliaâs right, which was Granny Luisaâs left. Facing them were Zack, Leonardo and Patricia.
As soon as they sat down, Marcus immediately forked a piece of fish. He then gave it to Cornelia.
Cornelia began eating the fish he had served, her movements practiced and natural. It didnât look like this was the first time he had done this for her.
Leonardo was shocked. What had gotten into Marcus? How could he be so attentive, gentle, and considerate?
Leonardo joked, âMarc, I fancy some fish too. Can you help me out?*
Marcus replied, âCanât you do it yourself?â
