    Chapter 86


    Her first question left Marcus speechless.


    Granny Reba thought he was shy because there were others around, so he was too embarrassed


    to talk to her.


    She chuckled and said to the caretaker, “Id like to have a chat with my grandson–inw alone, you go


    on and do your thing”


    Granny Reba emphasized the term “grandson–inw” to assert Cornelia’s sovereignty, letting other


    women give up on their intentions sooner.


    The caretaker knew she shouldn’t overthink, but before leaving, she couldn’t help but take an extra look


    at Marcus, who was just too handsome.


    Marcus, qn the other hand, never nced at the woman next to him, which made Granny Reba


    very satisfied.


    The more she looked at him, the more she liked him, and she couldn’t help butugh. Her face


    wrinkling with joy and she said, “Jay, I’m so d you could make time to see me”


    Marcus politely replied. “It’s my pleasure.”


    Granny continued, “You and Nelly got married before you fell in love, so you need to spend more time


    building your rtionship and not neglect your family because of work.”


    Marcus nodded, “Yes”


    Since he didn’t talk much, Granny Reba had to keep the conversation going. “Nelly is a strong girl


    who won’t show her vulnerability easily. She keeps a lot to herself, so you need to taki care of her more


    in the future”


    Marcus replied, “Alright.”


    Granny Reba said a lot, and Marcus” answers were always simple, “Alright”


    After a while, Granny Reba began to sense something was off, “Jay, are you and Nelly not getting


    along? Or is there some other problem?”


    “Granny, don’t worry, we haven’t had a disagreement. As you just said, we didn’t have a foundation


    before getting married, and after marriage, we’ve been apart more than together due work We’re still


    getting used to each other. This was the best answer Marcus coulde up with to avoid worrying


    Granny Reba


    It had been over a year since they got married, and they were still getting used to each other, which


    meant there was no love between them.


    Granny Reba understood this point well, realizing that despite the long years of marriage between


    the two children, she had never seen them together.


    Cornelia had never mentioned Marcus in front of her, and coupled with various hints from Cornelia


    before.


    Granny Reba realized that the marriage wasn’t as perfect as she thought


    It wasn’t umon for couples who once passionately loved each other to have their rtionship


    break down after marriage, let alone a couple with no foundation.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Granny Reba wanted Cornelia to get married and have children because she hoped Cornelia could


    find a man who loved and cared for her, allowing her, who lost her parents at a yo age, to have a happy


    family, not just marrying for the sake of it.


    But now it seemed that the marriage she had worked so hard to arrange didn’t bring Cornelia


    happiness, but pain and pressure instead.


    Since they had no feelings for each other, Cornelia had to make up one white lie after another to put


    her mind at ease.


    Thinking of how hard Cornelia had been trying to please her over the past year, Granny Reba felt


    heartbroken, “Jay, just tell me straight.”


    Tell her straight?


    Tell her that her granddaughter had been cheating on him, could she ept that?


    “Did you two divorce already?” Granny Reba asked, holding back her pain, the one question she


    least wanted to ask.


    Since she already guessed, Marcus felt there was no need to hide it anymore, “We haven’t divorced


    yet, but we’re preparing to.”


    “What’s the reason for the divorce? Is it because of theck of feelings or another reason?” Reba


    asked.


    “Another reason.” Marcus said
