Chapter 810
Marcus never made things crystal clear, so Patricia must have got the wrong end of the stick.
Cornelia couldnât explain, she just awkwardly chuckled
As she strolled into the dining room, she spotted the two grannies. The moment she entered, their eyes zeroed in on her, particularly her belly
She figured they must have got the wrong idea from Brianaâs video last night. She didnât know what to say, âWhy are you guys eyeballing me like that?â
Granny Luisa said, âOh, nothing weâre just tickled pink to see youâ
Granny Rebecca said, âMarcus is such a sweetheart, giving you the day off todayâ
Granny Luisa said, Tve always told you. Marcus may seem cold as ice, but heâs got a heart of gold.â
Granny Rebecca said, âYes, yes, your greatâgrandson is the beeâs knees.â
Granny Luisa said. âHow else could he have won over our wonderful Nelly if he wasnât?â
Seeing the grannies about to launch into praises, Cornelia quickly changed the subject, âGranny, how are you feeling today? Any discomfort?â
Granny Rebecca said, âI used to feel groggy all the time, no matter how much I slept. But yesterday and today, I feel as fresh as a daisy Could it be my anger flushed out my health issues?â
Cornelia knew her granny was feeling better because she was no longer being poisoned, but she couldnât spill the beans. She played along. âWell, you should pick fights more often, Granny Who knows, you might even get younger!â
Granny Rebecca laughed, âYouâre such a sweet talker.â
Cornelia said, âWhat do you guys want to do today? I can keep you companyâ
Granny Luisa said, âAs long as youâre with us, anything goesâ
The two grannies didnât have any special activities Granny Luisa liked to work out, and Granny Rebecca stayed home most of the time due to her health. Her major activity was strolling in her garden.
Granny Rebecca said, âI know you took the day off to be with us, but itâll get boring Go check on Bri. I heard her comic con ran into some snags. She left early this morning and hasnât been back sinceâ
âBriâs comic con hit a snag? Cornelia was on pins and needles, âGrannies, Iâll skip breakfast today. I need to go to the expo centerâ
The moment she finished, Patricia served up the breakfast she just cooked, âCornelia, skipping breakfast is a oneâway ticket to ulcers. You have to eat. Even if you donât. think about the baby.â
Cornelia asked. âWhat baby?â
Patricia instantly regretted her words, âI was talking nonsense. Nonsense! Anyways, you should eat your breakfast, itâs the most important meal of the dayâ
There was an old school belief in Riverton that people shouldnât spill the beans about a pregnancy in the first three months. Patricia and others believed Cornelia might be pregnant but they didnât mention it because of this.
Granny Luisa said, âBri should handle her own problems. Let her figure it out. Nelly, you need to take care of yourself. You canât carry the world on your shoulders. Now sit down and eat your breakfast.â
