Chapter 778


    Chapter 778


    After her father’s death, Corne couldn’t sleep at night. Even when she did manage to doze off,


    nightmares would jolt her awake. Only when she was nestled in her grandma’s arms, listening to her


    lubies, could she get a bit more sleep.


    “Grandma…”

    “Mhm?”


    “Grandma…”


    “Nelly, I’m here…” Granny Reba knew what Cornelia was getting at. Every time she called out,


    Granny Reba would answer, doing everything she


    could to soothe her.


    “Grandma, let’s go to sleep.


    “Alright, let’s sleep”


    Perhaps because she felt at ease, it didn’t take long before Cornelia fell asleep.


    Granny Reba looked at her resting face, lightly stroking it. “Silly girl, so many years have passed


    and you haven’t changed a bit. When you’re scared, you still want to sleep with grandma.”


    Granny Reba shifted slightly due to an ufortable sitting position, and this movement made


    Cornelia suddenly open her eyes and mumble,


    “Grandma…”


    “Grandma’s here, Nelly dear. Go back to sleep.”


    “Grandma, you can’t leave me alone, please…” In her dream, Cornelia was still murmuring, clutching


    tightly onto her grandma’s clothes, scared that she would leave her.


    “Silly girl Granny Reba sighed.


    Maybe it was her grandma’s scent, or thefort of her embrace, but Cornelia slept deeply this time,


    only waking up in the afternoon. She opened her eyes to two huge faces in front of her, which made


    her jolt upright. “Grandma, Patricia, what are you guys doing here?”


    Granny Luisa said, “This is the first time I’ve seen our Nelly sleeping. She’s even pretty when she


    sleeps.”


    Patricia chimed in, “True that. Some people look pretty when they’re awake but turn into a mess when


    they’re asleep. But our Nelly is beautiful even in sleep.”


    Granny Luisa continued, “Especially those eyshes of Nelly’s, they’re like little fans. And that face, so


    soft and rosy, I just want to pinch it….……..


    Cornelia didn’t know whether to be angry or happy. “Granny, Patricia..


    Granny Reba scolded, “Luisa, enough with the teasing. You’re making the poor kid blush”


    “I’m not blushing. I’m scared! Imagine waking up to a bunch of faces hovering over you. Isn’t that


    creepy?” Cornelia argued.


    Granny Luisa thought for a moment, I suppose that could be a bit startling.”


    Patricia agreed, “Granny Luisa, we shouldn’t do this anymore. We can’t scare Nelly. If we give her a


    heart attack, Marc will have our hides.”


    At the mention of Marcus, Cornelia looked around. Not seeing him made her feel a bit disappointed. He


    had confessed his feelings, but now he was nowhere to be found. It would make sense if it was a


    workday, but it was Sunday and she knew he didn’t have any ns.


    “Nelly, are you looking for Marc?” Granny Luisa was quick to notice. “Marc has some things to handle.


    He’lle to see you after he’s done.”


    I’m not looking for him. With you and Patricia here, how could I possibly have time to look for him?”


    Cornelia retorted.


    “Alright then, let’s not talk about him. Patricia and the others have prepared a lot of delicious food. Get


    up, freshen up, and let’s have a meal together.” Granny Luisa suggested.


    Cornelia checked the time. It was already close to two in the afternoon. “Grandma, haven’t you guys


    eaten yet? Are you waiting for me? You don’t have to Go ahead, don’t starve yourselves.”


    “We wouldn’t be so foolish If we were hungry, we would have eaten. We’re not waiting for you


    specifically. We just had ate breakfast, so we aren’t hungry yet. That’s why we’re waiting for you.”


    Granny Luisa exined.


    Cornelia was speechless. Alright, they were all sharp as tacks. She was the only slowpoke here.
