Chapter 704
A simple answer like that wasnât gonna cut it for Granny Luisa, she was burning to know what was going on in Corneliaâs head. âNelly, Iâm not trying to pile pressure on you. Iâm just worried. Worried that you two wonât stick together, worried that one day youll up and leave Marc, leaving him all alone.â
Comelia was taken aback. Marcus was such a calch, so many women would kill to marry him, why were they always worried that nobody would want him?
Comelia didnât have an answer. Right now, it wasnât about figuring out why, but calming Granny Luisa down. âGranny, donât worry, weâve decided to spend the rest of our lives together. Weâre gonna work hard at this, okay?â
âSome things just canât be promised forever,â Granny Luisaâs eyes filled with worry in an instant. âNelly, has Marc ever told you about his parents?â
Cornelia, âHeâs mentioned them.â
Granny Luisa, âThen let me tell you some stuff Marc doesnât even know. Wanna hear?â
Comelia, âGo ahead.â
Granny Luisa, âHis father, my son, was in love with someone but agreed to a marriage of convenience. After the Kamp family helped him secure his position, he divorced and went back to his old flame.
âTo be more precise, he never really cut off ties with that woman. He was sneaking around behind his wifeâs back with her, and had a son with her who was just two days younger than Marc.â
Just two days younger!
That meant this man was sleeping with his wife and his mistress at the same time.
Comelia was seething inside at the thought of that man. âGranny, Marc is nothing like his father, he would never mess around behind my back.â
Granny Luisa, âAfter all the lies heâs told you, you still trust him?â
Cornelia, âWeâve worked together for a year, and I know what kind of person he is. I believe in him because I know him.â
Granny Luisa, âI donât trust him, heâs got that manâs blood in his veinsâ¦
Cornelia firmly said, âGranny, I completely disagree with that. Brennen and Marc, theyâre totally different people. Marc shouldnât have to pay for someone elseâs mistakes.â
Hearing Cornelia say that, seeing her defend Marcus so fiercely, had Granny Luisa over the moon. But she had to play it cool.
The person she had personally chosen hadnât let her down.
Suddenly, Cornelia thought of Marcusâ claustrophobia. âGranny, did that man do something to Marc?â
Mentioning Brennen, even Granny Luisa couldnât keep a straight face, but she was more curious about Comeliaâs sudden question. âNelly, why would you ask that?â
Cornelia realized sheâd been too direct. âIâm sorry, I shouldnât have asked such a blunt question.â
After all, Brennen was Granny Luisaâs son, Marcâs biological father, and they were family by blood. As a newcomer to the family, she didnât have the right to comment too much.
