    Chapter 519


    Dinner was usually prepared by the housemaids, but tonight. Granny Reba was rolling up her


    sleeves and taking over the kitchen for Cornelia.


    She’s whipping up two of Cornelia’s favorites Eggs Benedict and baked salmon.


    Now, Comelia could cook these dishes too, but her culinary skills were nowhere near Granny


    Reba’s league.


    Granny Reba’s Eggs Benedict were mouth wateringly delicious, with a perfect bnce of rich and


    creamy. It’s the best Cornelia had ever tasted, and just thinking about it got her drooling


    And then there’s the baked salmon. Cornelia couldn’t put her finger on what Granny Reba’s secret


    technique was, but it always came out crispier and more vorful than when she tried to make it.


    As Comelia helped out in the kitchen, she couldn’t help but ask, “Granny, are you holding out on me?


    Howe my dishes never taste as good as yours even when I follow the same recipe?”


    Granny Reba chuckled, “It’s not just about the recipe, dear It’s years of experience Plus, you grew


    up on my cooking Those vors are tied to your childhood memories, so no matter when you eat it, it


    always tastes wonderful. If you like it so much, I can make it for you every day.”


    Comelia grinned, “Granny, you don’t have to cook for me Once my cooking skills get better, I’ll be the


    one cooking for you. You just sit back and enjoy.”


    “All right, I’m looking forward to that,” Granny Reba said as she started cooking “And remember,


    once you have your own kids, your cooking will be the best thing they’ve ever tasted”


    Just like that, Granny was back on the topic of kids. Before Comelia could even figure out how to


    respond, Granny continued, “Nelly, once you have a child of your own, you’ll see the world in a whole


    new light.”


    “Granny, I’ve told you, I’m going to wait a few years before having kids, Cornelia protested, pouting.


    “But when the timees, I promise to give you a healthy grandson to cuddle


    Granny Reba’s voice dropped to a whisper, “I just worry I won’t be around to see that day.”


    Cornelia’s heart clenched, “Granny, you can’t say things like that. The doctors just told me all your


    health indicators are good. You’re going to live a long life.”


    “Of course, I’ll live a long life. I want to stick around for my Nelly as long as I can.” But even as she said


    it, Granny Reba knew her days are numbered Despite following the doctor’s orders to a T, her


    health was deteriorating daily. It’s not death she feared, but leaving her Nelly alone in the world.


    She knew she’s Cornelia’s main pir of support. If she were to pass away, Cornelia would be


    devastated. That’s why she’s so eager for Cornelia to have a child of her own.


    She tried to keep her spirits up, followed her treatments, took her medications on time, all in the hopes


    of living long enough to see Nelly have a child.


    Once Cornelia had a child, her attention would have to be divided. Perhaps if she were to pass away


    then, it wouldn’t hit Cornelia as hard.


    Granny Reba spoke up again, “Nelly, you and Jay are both so good looking. Your child would be


    cuter than a Barbie doll. Have you thought about maybe having a child


    Sooner?”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Cornelia’s grandmother had brought up the topic of children before, but never with such urgency Today,


    she’s brought it up multiple times, both directly and indirectly. “Granny, what’s gotten into you today?”
