Chapter 154
The young couple got back together, and the two grannies at home were super happy about it.
However, the old peopleâs thinking is relatively conservative, so they thought things should go step by step. They never imagined the young couple would move in together so quickly
âYou guys go ahead, I will call back later Granny Rebecca quickly hung up the video call
Then, excited, she called out to Granny Luisa, Luisa, Iâve got some great news for youâ
Granny Luisa was exercising when she heard Granny Rebeccaâs call, so she hurried over, Whatâs the good news?â
Granny Rebecca said with a big grin, âBy this time next year, we should be holding our greatâgrandchildren!â
Granny Luisa pouted, âGreatâgrandchildren? The couple hasnât even gotten back together yet! Where do we go to hold greatâgrandchildren? Anyway, I only want to hold the baby they have together, not from someone else I donât knowâ
Granny Rebecca, âOf course itâs the baby from the two of them. I just saw them living together in the video call. How could they not be back together? itâs just that young people are shy and dont want to tell us old ladies everythingâ
Granny Luisaâs eyes lit up, âAre they really living together?â
Granny Rebecca nodded vigorously, âI called Nellyâs phone, and Jay answered: He even told me Nelly was tired and still sleepingâ
Granny Luisa said happily. âThatâs my grandson! He may not talk much, but I didnât expect him to win Nelly back so quicklyâ,
Granny Rebecca, 11âs because Nelly is so kind hearted. Just a few nice words from him and sheâs back*
Granny Luisa, âgood good good, itâs all thanks to you and how well you raised your granddaughter.â
Granny Rebecca. âYour grandson isnât too bad eitherâ
Granny Luisa, âHe said he tired Nelly out. Heâs such a big guy, he shouldâve taken better care of her. I need to find a nutritionist to help Nelly get her strength back.â
Granny Rebecca. âThere you go worrying again. Young people nowadays arent like us back in the day. They know how to find balanceâ
Granny Luisa, âTrue Letâs just wait to hold our greatâgrandchildrenâ
The grandson they were talking about was actually frowning at the moment.
Once Cornelia woke up, shed definitely call her granny back, who would definitely mention Jeremy being with her.
Cornelia wasnt stupid. After thinking about it, she might connect the dots and figure out that Jeremy was him
Before she accepted Jeremy, he couldnât reveal his identity, so he had to make âJeremyâ appear at the hospital to protect himself.
How could he make âJeremy naturally appear at the hospital?
Marcus looked down at Cornelia, who had a furrowed brow, and couldnât help but gently smooth out the wrinkle with his hand
Cornelia didnât wake up until 5 pm.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Marcus sitting by her bed. She was startled and sat up quickly, President Hartley, what are you doing in my room?â
âThis is a hospital room. You fainted this morning âMarcus reached out and touched her forehead, his movements natural and practiced
Cornelia didnât know that he had done this countless times already
âDid I faint?â Cornelia held her head and tried to remember. Her last memory was of chatting with Skyler after his surgery. She couldnât remember anything that happened after that âHowâs
Skyler?â
She woke up and asked about Skyler first. Why didnât she ask why she fainted? Wasnt she more important than Skyler?
Marcus frowned slightly. Do you feel unwell anywhere else?â
Cornelia shook her head, Tm fineâ
Marcus pressed a button on the bedside table, and the head of the bed slowly rose. âSit up and have something to eat first.â
Seeing President Hartley taking care of her personally. Cornelia felt very apologetic, Tresident Hartley, Im so sorry for troubling you to take care of meâ
Marcus lied. âIm not the one taking care of you, itâs your husband whas been with you. Donât you remember?â
Cornelia, My husband?â
How could Jeremy be in the Capital?
How did he know she was here?
Cornelia was full of questions, President Hartley, do you know my husband?â
âAfter you fainted, a man came and said his name was Jeremy, your husband, and asked us to leave you in his care. Heâs been with you since this morning, and before he left, he prepared food for you âMarcus pointed to the thermos on the bedside table, âYou woke up just a few minutes ago, and he found me, saying you might not want to see him, and asked me to take care of you before he leftâ
Marcus said such a long sentence without any pause, looking casual, but in fact, he had silently recited it dozens of times in his heart, and his palms were still sweating
Marcus had faced so many powerful opponents and had always been able to overcome them with his strong psychological quality He hadnât been this nervous even during his first World Business Conference
Why was he so nervous when lying to Cornelia?
Cornelia fet that something was off, but she couldnât pinpoint what it was
Marcus could see her inner confusion, âIf you donât believe me, check your phone. I saw him send you a messageâ
Cornelia took out her phone, opened Whatsapp, and saw nine unread messages. She opened them and read them.
The content of the nine messages was similar, basically telling her not to worry, as he would take care of everything
After reading the messages Cornelia replied. âJeremy are you in the Capital? Did you come to see me today?â
Marcusâs phone in his pocket vibrated, and he knew it was a message from Cornelia, but he didnât dare to take it out and look
He opened the thermos on the bedside table and took out one small plate at a time, placing them in front of Cornelia on the table. He then picked up a spoon and tried to feed her, âOpen
your mouthâ
This was way too intimate, and Cornelia didnât dare to open her mouth. âPresident Hartley, I can do it myself â
âAlright, you eat first. Marcus handed her the spoon and left the room, taking out his phone to reply to Corneliaâs Whatsapp message happened to be in the Capital on a business trip, and then I ran into you at the hospital. I know you might not want to see me, so I leave first â
Ahhough Cornela didnât quite believe in all these coincidences, she still repled with two words âThank you!â
Jeremy âWeâre husband and wife, you donât have to be so polite with met
Cornelia: âDonât think that just because you took care of me this time, Iâll change my mind.â
Jeremy: âHow many times do I have to take care of you for you to change your mind?â
Cornelia: âNo matter how many times, it wonât work!â
Seeing Corneliaâs last message, Marcus silently lit a cigarette and took one drag after another.
