Chapter 1214
Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, Leonardo hurriedly waved the white flag. âDonât get mad, I was just messing around. My badâ
If Granny Luisa knew about his polâstirring intentions, sheâd definitely give him a piece of her mind.
Granny Luisa quickly came out, âNelly, whatâs up?â
Cornelia glanced at Leonardo, catching his surrendering gaze, then said, âLeonardo tried to hit on a girl just now, but sadly, she wasnât into himâ
Granny Luisa nodded knowingly. âWell, thatâs normal. After all, Leo is no Marc. Not as many girls are lining up to marry him.â
Leonardo felt like heâd been hit by a truck. He might never love again.
After dinner, Cornelia and Granny Luisa left the Wilson family.
On the way back, Granny Luisa instructed the driver to drop Cornelia off at Celestial Chateau first. Cornelia cuddled up to Granny Luisaâs arm, âCan I stay with you at the Hartley Mansion tonight?â
Granny Luisa agreed, âSure. Iâll let Marc know to come back to the old house after work.â
Comelia shook her head, âI just want to spend some time with you alone. Letâs not bother Marc. Heâs been busy with work recently. It would be a good chance for him to get some rest when Iâm not at home.â
Granny Luisa patted Corneliaâs hand, âAlright, weâll do it your wayâ
Back at the Hartley Mansion, Cornelia went to bed early.
Granny Luisa then found Patricia. âNow that Nelly and Marc are living in Celestial Chateau, and youâre around them every day, if anything happens, you have to let me know
Patricia nodded reluctantly. âOkayâ
Granny Luisa stared at Patricia, âPatricia, is there something youâre not telling me?â
Patricia had wanted to tell Granny Luisa about the situation at home last night, but she decided not to, fearing it might affect Granny Luisaâs sleep. Now that Granny Luisa had brought it up, she saw no reason to keep it a secret.
âYou know that Nelly is no longer Marcâs executive assistant, right?â Patricia said.
Granny Luisa nodded, âNelly told me about it over the phone.â
âDo you know who his new assistant is? Patricia asked.
âNelly didnât mention it. And Marc didnât tell me either Granny Luisa said.
Patricia revealed, âItâs Tahlia.â
âOh, her? I remember she studied finance when she was with the Reese family. How did she end up with a secretarial job?â Granny Luisa said.
The more Patricia thought about it, the angrier she got, âThatâs not the point. Whatâs worse is that Marc invited Tahlia to stay over last night. You know how territorial Marc is. Even family members are not allowed to stay at Celestial Chateau overnight. You and Bri never stayed over, right? Nelly used to be the only exception. Now that heâs letting Tahlia stay, itâs hard not to wonder
Granny Luisa frowned in thought, âMaybe Marc let Tahlia stay because of Nelly After all, sheâs Nellyâs real sister now, the only blood relative she has left.â
It was clear that this was not Marcâs intention. Patricia knew this, but to keep Granny Luisa from worrying, she had to play dumb. âI hope thatâs what Marc is thinkingâ
Granny Luisa said, âBut we canât be sure. Keep an eye on them and let me know if anything happens between Marc and Nellyâ
Patricia spoke her mind, âNelly is just too introverted. She spends all day at home drawing her comics, barely leaving her desk except for meals. She never goes out on dates, completely lacking the vitality of young people. Itâs heartbreaking to watch Granny Luisa, if you have time, try to take her out more, let her meet new people. Sheâs the wife of Marcus now, but many people donât even know her. Thatâs not good.â
Granny Luisa suddenly thought of something. âOh, speaking of which, Marc has never publicly acknowledged Nelly as his wife now, has he?â
