Chapter 1243


    Chapter 1243


    This incident might have happened decades ago, but for Grandpa Augustine, it felt like it was just


    yesterday. It was still fresh in his mind.


    “Man, I messed up.” Grandpa Augustine sighed fFd only thought sooner that Granny Reba might’ve


    changed her name, I would’ve switched up my search tactics. Then maybe, just maybe, I would’ve


    found you guys sooner. And if I’d found you sooner, then maybe Granny Reba wouldn’t have met a


    tragic fate.”


    Cornelia tried to soothe him, “The murderer has faced the harsh hand ofw and justice has been


    served Let’s put it behind us and start afresh.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Yeah” Grandpa Augustine nodded, then added. “Nelly, I picked out a few potential suitors for youst


    night. Want me to set up some dates?”


    Cornelia winced at the idea, I just got out of a rough rtionship. I’m not jumping into another one just


    yet”


    “Who said marriage is a bumpy ride? You just haven’t met the right guy yet, that’s why it’s been tough.


    Trust me, the boys I’ve lined up for you are top-notch.” Grandpa Augustine said proudly


    Corneliaughed, “Grandpa Augustine, I’m not in the mood for dating right now. Can you hold off until


    I’m ready to look for Mr. Right?”


    Although Grandpa Augustine was pushy, Cornelia didn’t mind. Without Granny Reba hustling her to


    get hitched, having Grandpa Augustine nudge her felt somewhatforting.


    He didn’t actually intend to force Cornelia into anything, he just wanted her to be happy, even without


    Marcus.


    He believed that the best way for Cornelia to get over her failed marnage was to start a new romance


    “No worries if you’re not ready to date. Just let me tell you about these guys, see if any of them tickles


    your fancy” Augustine said.


    “Alright, spill the beans. Cornelia agreed.


    Patricia tried to keep a poker face, but she was trembling inside. Old Augustine better not find some


    perfect guy. If Nelly fell for him, then there was no chance for Mare to win her back.


    Cornelia agreed to hear him out, which made Grandpa Augustine ted, “One of them is the grandson


    of Alfredo’s old colleague. He s 29, shares the same birthday as your but is four years alder. We’ve


    known him since he was a kid. This guyes from a good family, and is quite impressive. He’s a


    graduate from a prestigious university, and is currently working in Alfredo’s old department. He might


    not be high up in the ranks yet, but with his family background and talents, His future’s looking bright.”


    Cornelia not only listened, but also asked questions, “Grandpa Augustine, why’s someone so great still


    single?!


    Grandpa Augustine replied, “The boy’s picky hasn’t found the night girl yet. But I think he’s just been


    too busy with work to have time for love.”


    Corneliaughed, ‘His parents must be worried sick ”


    Grandpa Augustine said, “He’s nearly 30 and hasn’t had a girlfriend. Of course, his parents are


    anxious. I recently heard that they’ve given up on pushing him to marry. They just hope he’ll have kids


    soon!


    Cornelia responded, ‘Hmm, that doesn’t sound quite right.”


    Grandpa Augustine exined, “They’re just saying it out of frustration, they wouldn’t actually expect


    him to do that”


    “When choosing a partner, it’s not just about the individual, but also considering the family. Otherwise,


    you might face unexpected problems after marriage.” Comelia added cautiously


    Grandpa Augustine potted out his phone and showed her a picture, Nelly, take a look at his picture.


    He’s more handsome in person than in photos.”


    Cornelia nodded, “He’s quite good looking.”


    Butpared to Marcus, he was a notch down.


    Grandpa Augustine suggested, “Shall I set up a meeting then? You guys can have a chat, who knows,


    it might just work out.”
