Chapter 720
He didnât want to leave a bad impression on Corneliaâs grandma, so he had already done his best to control his attitude. âIâm here to tell you guys, stop messing with me and Nelly. Weâll have kids when the time is right.â
Granny Luisa, âI seeâ¦â
Briana thought her brotherâs behavior today was somewhat unusual as he didnât criticize her as he usually did.
Marcus looked at Granny Rebecca, âGranny, itâs getting late: Let me take you back to your room.â
Granny Rebecca nodded, âAlright.â
The more Granny Rebecca looked at Marcus, the more she was satisfied. She had seen him protecting her granddaughter Nelly several times throughout the day.
Without a glance at the other two people in the dining room, Marcus helped Granny Rebecca leave.
Once he was out of sight, Briana said, âGranny, that guy is really over the top. He was more gentle with Granny Rebecca than he was with you, and now heâs only helping Granny Rebecca back to her room, but didnât say anything about helping you.â
Granny Luisa said, âDonât stir up trouble over this. Your brother married Nelly, and itâs only right to be nice to Nelly, and itâs also right to be nice to Nellyâs grandmother.â
Briana, âSigh, Iâm the real victim here. My recording device was found, and all my work for today was wasted. If they never have children, I will never get what you promised me.â
Granny Luisa patted her head laughing, âSilly girl, Iâve already prepared a generous gift for you. If you get married now, Iâll gift you another house.â
âIâm still young, whatâs the rush to get married? And once I am married, I will be pressured to have kids. How boring is that.â Briana continued, âYou should worry about Marcus instead. Heâs almost 29, and next year heâll be 30. Itâs the perfect age to have kids, you canât let him delay any longer.â
Granny Luisa, âOf course I care about you too, Bri. Tell granny, what kind of man do you like? Iâll help you choose.â
Briana, âThe person I like doesnât need to be rich, because Iâm already pretty wellâoff myself. I donât need him to be handsome either, as the genes in our family is good enough. I want the guy I like to be talented and know all the things I donât know.â
As she spoke, Brianaâs eyes shone brightly and her lips curled slightly. One look at her and Luisa knew she was in love.
âWhatâs his name? What does he do? Where is he from? How old is he?â Although Granny Luisa

had retired, she still held the aura of a businesswoman, and her barrage of questions was intimidating.
Briana, âWhat man?â
Granny Luisa, âBri, if you have a boyfriend, donât hide it from me. Youâre so naive. You could easily fall for someone whoâs just using you.â
âGranny, I donât have a boyfriend. And thereâs no way anyone would approach me with bad intentionsâ¦â Briana stormed off after saying this.
That person truly had foresight. He had foreseen that if Granny found out about him, she would ask a lot of questions, so he had prepared Briana in advance.
He told her, no matter what Granny asked, she must deny it. Otherwise, once Granny started asking, she would spill everything.
On the way back to Granny Rebeccaâs room, Marcus came back and saw all this, âGranny, whatâs up with Bri?â
Granny Luisa said seriously, âI think she has a boyfriend, but she wonât tell us.â
Marcus said, âDonât worry, Iâll have someone look into it. I wonât let her get hurt.â
Granny Luisa said, âYes, I trust the way you handle things.â
Marcus said, âItâs late, you should go back to your room too.â
Granny Luisa said, âMarc, sit down and chat with granny about Nelly.â
Marcus said, âI donât think we should talk about her behind her back
