Chapter 244
âCool beans! I donât have to worry about not spending the holiday with my Granny this year I was planning to take her out for a walk, but her health isnât up to snuff Cornelia said
âDonât sweat (Lâ Zack reassured her âLet your Granny chill for a bit. You can always take her but when sheâs back in the saddleâ
âIâm just worried it might be too late Comelia confessed. She had asked the doctor on the down low, and although her Granny was giving it her all her age made things look pretty grim
Whenever Cornelia thought about her Granny busting her chops all her tie, only to fall sick before she could kick back and enjoy life, she felt a lump in her throat
âWhy donât we bring your Granny here to live with usâ suggested Abigail We can hunk together and let her have my roomâ
Comells shook her head âMy Granny has already decided to go to Southern Peak with Jeremyâs Granny She doesnât want to rain on my parade, wants me to be focused on my work. Thereâs no way sheâs coming
back with meâ
âItâs a mal heart breaker, is itâ said Abigal âParents slave away all their lives for their kids, but when they really need their kids, they worry about being a burdenâ
âAbigail Iâm hitting the road to Southern Peak tomorrow to keep my Granny company for a couple of days. Letâs hit the mall after dinner, I want to buy her some new threads,â said Cornelia
âCan you afford to take time off work?â asked Abigail
âMy boss is off with his wife, gave us a few days off: Cornella replied.
*Im getting green with envy over your jobâ Abigail admitted
âBet youâre not envious of my job, but rather itching to be my bossâs ladyâ Comelia teased with a grin.
âYouâve hit the nail on the head again, Abigail conceded
The the enjoyed a hearty laugh over their meal. Afterwards, Comelia and Abigail went out to hit the shops, while Zack stayed back to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen.
Cornelia had her sights set on the mall where sheâd shopped for shoes before. It had all kinds of stuff
Comelia dragged Abigail straight to the third floor, which was dedicated to clothing for the older crowd. They had barely hit the second store when Cornelia spotted a coat she liked
Not only was it a looker, it was also comfy as hell Cornelia loved it and decided to cop two But when she saw the price, she found out that each one, even after the discount, would set her back a grand
if it was for herself, Cornelia would have thought twice, but since it was for her Granny, she didnât hesitate to swipe her card for two.
After the costs. Cornelia also picked out a few sets of clothes and shoes for her Granny
Since the two Grannyâs were living together, she couldnât play favontes, so she bought two of everything.
âYou havenât bought new clothes for yourself in forever. Why donât you treat yourself to a couple of pinces?â Abigail suggested.
Cornelia did want to buy a few new outfits for herself, but her expenses were through the mof lately. After thinking it over, she decided against it. âI mostly wear my work clothes, so even if I buy new ones. I wont have the time to wear them Better not to blow moneyâ
Abigail knew Cornelia well and understood her frugality. She literally dragged her to the womenâs section. âYouâre buying something today, like it or not.â
âI really donât want to Comelia felt insecure when her bank account was low, and her expenses were off the charts recently. She really couldnât afford to burn money on a whim.
Abigail felt sorry for her âBabe you should be kinder to yourself and splurge a bit
âLet me buy a house and create a home first, then I think about buying other stuff Cornelia replied. She didnât have parents or a traditional home, which made henfeel insecure.
