Chapter 1108

Sweet juices weren’t really good for the elderly, so Cornelia thoughtfully ordered two cups of Blue Mountain coffee from the waiter. She then joined Grandpa Duran

to taste his favorite coffee.

“Alright, I’ll have whatever you’re having Grandpa Duran said.

With a smile, Comelia said, “Grandpa Duran, allow me to introduce my two good friends

“No need to introduce them. I’m already familiar with them.” Augustine looked up at Hannah and Rosie. This is Hannah. I watch her TV shows all the time. I’m her fan. And this one is Rosie, Lucas’s wife”

Truth was, he wasn’t really Hannah’s fan. He liked Cornelia and wanted to adopt her as his granddaughter, so naturally, he knew about her friends.

“Old Duran, nice to meet you!” Hannah immediately stood up, and shook hands politely with Grandpa Duran, “I feel honored to meet you.”

The Duran family’s status was obvious. Not just anyone could meet Augustine. As Hannah said, having the chance to meet him was definitely something to brag about.

Rosie, who had been well cared for by her family since childhood and didn’t know much about the outside world, only then realized that this old man must be quite significant, “Old Duran? You mean. THE Old Duran from the Capital?”

Grandpa Duran waved his hand, “Don’t call me Old Duran. It sounds too distant. If you don’t mind, you can call me Grandpa Duran, just like Comelia does.”

“Alright, Grandpa Duran” Hannah said.

Rosie added, “Grandpa Duran, you seem to really like Cornelia:

“Do I make it that obvious?” Grandpa Duran asked.

Rosie nodded, “Absolutely. From the moment we walked in, you’ve never taken your eyes off Cornelia. You look at her with such affection and gentleness.”

Grandpa Duran asked, “Do you think Comelia would find that annoying?”

Comelia laughed at Grandpa Duran’s question, “Grandpa Duran, you’re so cute. How could I find you annoying?”

“Alright then” Grandpa Duran said, “Let’s get down to business.”

“What business?” Cornelia asked

“Didn’t Marc tell you?” Grandpa Duran said.

“You mean?” Cornelia asked.

“I want to adopt you as my granddaughter. Do you agree?” Grandpa Duran asked.

Comelia hesitated. After all, the Duran family was a big family. If she was officially recognized as Grandpa Duran’s granddaughter, it might cause unnecessary disputes “Grandpa Duran, I already consider you as my real grandpa Cornelia said.

“So, you’re rejecting me?” Grandpa Duran asked

Cornelia didn’t want to upset Grandpa Duran and was trying to find a gentle way to put it, “Grandpa Duran…”

Grandpa Duran interrupted her, “No matter what you say, I am firm on this. I plan to buy a house in Riverton. If you don’t agree, I’ll stay in Riverton and won’t leave until you agree

“Grandpa Duran, please don’t do this I understand your affection for me and your wish to take care of me, but I have my concerns.” Cornelia said, a bit troubled. Seeing that pushing her wouldn’t work, Grandpa Duran tried a softer approach, “Nelly, my wife and children passed away too early if they were still here, I think I would have a granddaughter about your age by now.”

Cornelia had heard from Marcus that the matter of his wife and children was Grandpa Duran’s deepest pain, something no one could mention in front of him.

But now he was the one bringing it up. This softened Cornelia’s heart, “Grandpa Duran

Wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye, Grandpa Duran said, “Nelly, can you show some sympathy for this poor old man?”
