Chapter 1242
Cornelia suddenly had a thought, âGrandpa Augustine, is your online handle GoldenNelly BestNelly?â
Grandpa Augustineâs eyes widened, âHow did you know?â With so many fans leaving comments on Corneliaâs comics every day, how did she manage to spot his username?
Cornelia gave a laugh, âNo regular lan is as generous as youâ
Recently, Cornelia noticed a new user named GoldenNelly BestNelly, who kept tipping her, even tipping as much as ten thousand dollars in a single day. Cornelia told him to stop, but he wouldnât listen. Now she finally found him.
Grandpa Augustine scratched his head awkwardly, âWhatâs wrong with giving you a little pocket money?â
Cornelia responded, âGrandpa Augustine, I earn my own money. I really donât need more. Can you stop always trying to give me money?â
Grandpa Augustine thought for a moment, âOkay, no more tipping But will you come with me to the Capital?â
Comelia declined. âI moved to Riverton for college, and Iâve been working here since I graduated. I even bought a house here. You could say itâs my second hometown, and I donât plan on leaving â
âAre you not willing to leave Marc?â Grandpa Augustine asked doubtfully.
âUnwilling? If I were, I wouldnât have asked for a divorce. Just because weâre divorced doesnât mean I canât stay in this city. Itâs a big city, plenty of people live their whole lives here without running into each otherâ Cornelia shook her head.
Grandpa Augustine conceded, âFine. If you donât want to come with me to the Capital, I wonât force youâ
The next day, Cornelia ran into Grandpa Augustine when she came home from grocery shopping with Patricia. He was still smiling, but it was a sly smile, âNelly, I bought all the houses next to yours. Now this entire floor belongs to us.â
Cornelia really didnât understand the world of the wealthy. Even though she was rich now, she was still confused. She didnât know what to do with all the money, other than eating whatever she wanted and buying some expensive clothes.
Grandpa Augustine asked, âNelly, are you upset with what Iâve done?â
Cornelia replied, âNot at all.â
Grandpa Augustine smiled. âI just wanted to be closer to you, to take care of youâ
Cornelia laughed and hooked her arm around Grandpa Augustineâs. âThereâs a hurricane today, and we canât go out. I asked Patricia to buy some flour and pork. Letâs make pork pie together.â
Grandpa Augustine nodded, âSounds good.â
Cornelia invited Grandpa Augustine inside and introduced him to Patricia. They all sat down to make pork pies. Suddenly, Grandpa Augustine asked, âNelly, did Granny Rebecca also like pork pies?â
Cornelia nodded. âYes, she taught me how to make them. I remember when I was a kid, every winter when it was too cold to go outside, Granny Rebecca would make pork. pies and store them in the fridge. She made many different kinds of fillings, so we could eat them for days without getting bored.â
In Grandpa Augustineâs memory, life was not as comfortable when he was young. Many people couldnât even afford meat.
In those days, when he could afford to bring home meat, his wife Silvia didnât want to cook it all at once. So she chopped the meat into fillings, made them into pork pies. and divided it into several servings.
