Chapter 692

This little girl, full of zest and warmth, was nothing like her brother, who was cold and quiet. It was like they had different genes or something.

“Comelia…” Briana hugged Cornelia, “Finally, I can openly call you Marcus‘ wife, no more hiding.”

Comelia blushed. “You knew all along, didn’t you?”

Briana clung to Comelia, as if she couldn’t get close enough, “Nah, I only found out just before Christmas.”

Comelia glanced at Marcus, pouting, “So, I’m the only one who’s been kept in the dark.”

Briana, “It wasn’t my choice to keep it from you, my bro wouldn’t let me tell. Otherwise, I would’ve spilled the beans.”

“Uh… Marcus adjusted his glasses, ‘My bad!”

“I remember a line from a TV show, ‘If sorry was enough, why would we need the police?“. With Cornelia by her side, Briana dared to tease her brother.

With Marcus glaring at her, she pulled Cornelia away, “Let’s go find Granny. She’s put a lot of effort into making you feel welcome. Hope you like it.”

“If Granny prepared it, I’m sure I’ll love it.” Cornelia patted Briana’s head, “Where’ve you been? Haven’t seen you in a while.”

Briana said, “I’ve been busy planning a comic convention with friends. Lots of famous artists and fans will be there at the Riverton Convention Center. It lasts a week, and it starts this weekend. You should come if you’re interested.”

Cornelia was indeed interested. She used to love going to comic conventions but hadn’t had the time since she started hanging around with Marcus. “I’m busy tomorrow, but I’m free the day after. I’ll definitely come and support you.”

Briana, “That’s awesome! Having you there would make me so happy. I’m trying to get in touch with a comic artist called Nelly Belly through friends. If she comes, that’d be fab.”

Hearing the familiar pen name, Cornelia raised an eyebrow, “You’re a fan of Nelly Belly?”

Briana, “I’m a die–hard fan. I’ve read all her comics. They’re amazing. But she’s so mysterious, never shows her face. I’ve asked so many friends, but no one knows her.”

Cornelia was delighted to find out she had a fan in the little girl, “I have a set of Nelly Belly signed books, want me to give you one?”

Briana turned around and hugged Cornelia tightly, then gave her a peck on the cheek, “I love you so much…”

“Bri, where’ve you taken Cornelia? Bring her over here.” Granny Luisa was waiting for Cornelia, looking out anxiously. Knowing she’d arrive any minute made her even more impatient.

“Granny…” Cornelia stepped forward and gave Granny Luisa a hug, then looked around. “Granny, didn’t my granny come back to Riverton with you?”

Granny Luisa said, “On such an important day, how could your granny stay behind? She’s stubborn and wouldn’t let anyone buy this item. for her. She went out half an hour ago with the driver to get it. Should be back in a bit. But don’t worry, Patricia is with her.”

Cornelia said, “I trust your arrangements.”

Granny Luisa looked at Marcus behind Cornelia, “Marc, why are you so slow? Hurry up and carry your wife inside.”
