Chapter 706

The ten–year sentence for Marcus was a total joke. If it were up to her, she would have thrown him in the slammer for at least twenty years to ease her resentment.

Wiping away a tear, Granny Luisa turned to Cornelia, “Nelly, do you get why I’m saying all this?”

Comelia nodded, “I do, Grandma. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Marcus. I won’t let him get hurt again.”

Granny Luisa chuckled, “I don’t want you to shoulder more, I just want you two to have a kid and live a good life.”

Hearing that reassured Granny Luisa. Her wish was simple; for them to have a good life, have some kids, and have a harmonious family. “I will, Comelia replied, “I’ll have lots of kids with Marcus. Not just to reassure Granny Luisa, but because she truly loved kids.

She planned to have at least two kids, so they would have each other. Their home would be lively and not like her own, where she only had her grandmother after her parents passed away.

Granny Rebecca’s voice echoed from the doorway, “Right, have a few. At least two.” Cornelia turned to see not just Granny Rebecca at the door, but Marcus and Briana too.

So not just her grandmother heard her say she wanted lots of kids, Marcus definitely heard too. As Cornelia looked at him, he was also looking at her, their gaze meeting halfway.

Briana watched them, seeing their silent exchange. She worried for her brother. The elders were expecting kids, and her brother couldn’t voice his own health issues. Wouldn’t all this pressure fall on Cornelia?

Poor Cornelia. To protect Marcus‘ pride, she had to swallow her own grievances.

Cornelia tried to ignore the flutter in her heart caused by Marcus and stood up to approach Granny Rebecca, “Grandma, where were you? If you need something, let me buy it for you. Don’t go yourself.”

Granny Rebecca ruffled her hair, “You’re a married woman now. You should be mindful of your image. There’re people watching, you can’t just run into my arms like a child.”

Cornelia didn’t care. “So, I’m not your granddaughter anymore because I’m married?”

“Of course you still are,” Granny Rebecca replied.

“Then why can’t I run into your arms?”

Granny Rebecca laughed, “You’re getting sweeter with your words.”

Granny Luisa chimed in, “Rebecca, we don’t have so many rules in our house. Nelly marrying into the Hartley family makes her my own granddaughter.”

Granny Rebecca said, “You can love her all you want. But as the elder, I should be the one to teach her manners. Otherwise, people will say the Stewart family lacks etiquette.”
