Steven said, “Why would I butter you up? I’ve seen my fair share of people and things, but do any of them hold a candle to you?”

Grandpa Duran said. “When I first saw you, you didn’t say a word thought you might’ve had a personality transplant or something. But nah, I was just

overthinking. You’re still the same old chatterbox, Steven You’re so talkative, it’s getting on my old nerves”

Steven said. “Well, Marc is always the introverted one, and Lucas isn’t exactly a chatterbox either. If I don’t keep the conversation going, hanging out with these guys would be as dull as dishwater. Would you think that’s fun?”

Grandpa Duran said, “From what you’re saying, you seem pretty indispensable.”

Steven shot back, “Of course, I’m the most important one!”

Grandpa Duran was like, “Alright, alright. Stop tooting your own horn. The main event today is me officially adopting Nelly as my granddaughter Once the ceremony is over, y’all can go wherever you like.”

Steven asked, “Hey, Old Duran, does this mean Cornelia will have to take your last name?”

Grandpa Duran replied, “I’m not that unreasonable. I just want to adopt Cornelia as my granddaughter so I can look after her a bit more.”

Steven said, “Look Marc, Old Duran wants to take care of Cornelia. Aren’t you worried?”

Marcus just glanced at him, not uttering a word.

Grandpa Duran threatened, “Keep running your mouth, and I swear I’ll sew it shut.”

Steven was like, “Okay, okay. I’ll shut my trap.”

Then, he turned to Hannah, pulling her into his arms, “Honey, if you get any scripts related to this in the future, you can ask Cornelia to pull some strings with Grandpa Duran and get you a behind–the–scenes look”

Hannah had recently been approached with a script like this, but for certain reasons, she wasn’t too keen on it, so she had her agent turn it down.

Grandpa Duran wanted to cheer Comelia up, “Hannah, Rosie, you guys are Nelly’s friends, and that makes you my friends. If you ever need any help, don’t hesitate

to ask.”

Hannah said, “Then I’ll take this opportunity to thank you in advance, Grandpa Duran.”

Rosie said, “Grandpa Duran, I don’t need anything from you. I just hope that no matter who Cornelia becomes the granddaughter of, she won’t forget our pact to hang out often.”

Grandpa Duran said, “Of course

Everyone was having a lively chat, but the star of the day, Comelia, hadn’t said a word. She sat next to Marcus, her hand tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, revealing her inner turmoil to Marcus.

Normally, Marcus would never force Cornelia to do anything she didn’t want to do. But this was different. To be more precise, Marcus had a hand in Grandpa Duran’s decision to adopt Cornelia as his granddaughter.

He took Cornelia’s hand and gently patted it, “Cornelia, don’t be nervous!”

Cornelia moved a bit closer to him, “I’m just an ordinary person. The Duran family is way out of my league. How could I not be nervous?”

Previously, Cornelia agreed to become Grandpa Duran’s granddaughter in a fit of emotion after seeing how pitiful he was However, when she cooled down, she began to regret her decision.

She thought, maybe Grandpa Duran was just acting on impulse when he decided to adopt her. After a few days, if he lost interest, he would definitely regret it. If the adoption ceremony was already done and he regretted it, it would be awkward for him to tell her. Then, he would definitely feel guilty.

Marcus lifted his hand and gently ruffled Cornelia’s hair, then suddenly asked, “Do you want a piece of the Duran family fortune?”
