Granny Rebecca spoke again, “As for the thing about you two having kids, I, as an elder, should not intervene. You guys should decide it yourselves. Now, Nelly, you step outside first, I need to have a chat with Marc.”
Cornelia clung tightly to her granny's arm, her rosy face pressed against her, said with full affection, “Granny, I’m the link between you two. You wouldn't shoo me away, right?”
Usually, whenever Cornelia played coy, Granny Rebecca would always cave, but this time she was unusually adamant, stating that Cornelia should not listen, and she meant it.
Seeing the two refusing to back down, Marcus stepped in to mediate, “Cornelia, I think we should respect Granny's wishes…”
Before he could finish, the usually obedient Cornelia lifted her head, glaring at him angrily, “Of course you want me to respect Granny's decision. She wants to keep you. If Granny wanted to keep me and had you leave, you’d start singing a different tune.”
Marcus was speechless.
Just a short while ago, he had complimented her for being understanding; he didn't expect her to become unreasonable so quickly.
Women’s minds were truly hard to fathom.
Granny Rebecca, “Nelly, don’t vent your frustration on Marc.”
“Granny, you’re playing favorites! Now that you have Marcus, you don’t love me anymore!” Cornelia stormed out of the room, planning to eavesdrop from the door.
However, Granny Rebecca was well aware of her shenanigans, “Cornelia, close the door, then stand by the window where I can see you.”
