    Chapter 254


    The next day. Comelia was up early She stuck by Granny Reba side like glue when the doc was


    doing her regr check up


    After the check–up, she grilled the doctor about all the nitty gritty details Only after she was certain


    Granny’s health was holding up, did she let out a sigh of relief


    Granny Luisa kindly gave them some elbow room, leaving Granny Reba and Comelia some alone


    time


    Once it was just the two of them. Granny Reba couldn’t hold her questions anymore and steered


    the conversation to Jeremy, “Comelia, you mentioned on the phone you’re gonna start seeing Jeremy


    Are you


    sure about this**


    Cornelia nodded. “Don’t sweat it. Granny is not just some whimsical idea Ive given if a lot of thought


    Granny Reba always had faith in Cornelia’s decisions. “Jeremy is a bit of an introvert He’s not the


    type to spout sweet nothings, but he’s got this reliable vibe about him.


    Comel a nodded, “I feel the same way Granny Every time I think of him, I feel at ease”


    Granny Reba ruffled Comelia’s hair “That’s good to hear With him by your side, I can feel at ease!


    To Granny Rebas gmeration, love wasn’t the be all and end–all She believed that life together was


    about supporting each other That sense of security a partner gave was the best things in a marriage.


    Aher scarfing down brunch, Comelia said her goodbyes to the grannies and set off back to Riverton


    Stepping out of the vi, she whipped out her phone and opened the ridehailing app Lo and behold, a


    Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up in front of her out of the blue. The window rolled down slowly, and


    Marcus handsome face came into view


    Comelia quickly primped her appearance and greeted him politely. “President Hartley, what brings you


    here?”


    After the greeting, she peered curiously into the cat, hoping to catch a glimpse of his wife, but no one


    was in sight.


    “What are you looking for?” he asked in a deep, pleasant voice, sounding a bit indulgent


    Comelia answered honestly “I thought your wife was in the car I wanted to see what she looks like”


    “Hop in give you a lift to Riverton Marcus scooched over making room for her


    Unable to refuse Comelia obediently got in and took his seat, “President Hartley, why aren’t you with


    your wife?


    “Who says we’re not together?” he responded Wasn’t she sitting right next to him, chatting away? Was


    his wiffe invisible?


    Marcus leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, clearly not in the mood for chit–chat


    With him ignoring her, Cornelia looked around. The driver was focused on the road, not talking to her


    So, she decided to follow Marcus‘ lead, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes Maybe it was the


    comfortable ride or the perfect temperature inside the car, Cornelia dozed off before she knew it.


    Marcus moved closer and gently rested her head on his shoulder


    The driver, caught a glimpse of this scene in the rearview mirror. He was taken aback and coughed a


    couple of times


    Marcus expression turned stem. He raised the partition, blocking the driver’s view


    Unseen, Marcus rubbed his face gently against hers. He hadn’t shaved the night before, and his


    stubble was a bit rough. Comelia felt a slight pain, and she sleepity opened her eyes, finding herself


    comfortably leaning against Marcus shoulder


    This scene almost made Cornelia’s heart jump out of her throatContent ? N?velDrama.Org.
