Chapter 254
The next day. Comelia was up early She stuck by Granny Rebecca side like glue when the doc was doing her regular 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 Rebecca and Comelia some alone time
Once it was just the two of them. Granny Rebecca 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 Rebecca 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 Rebecca ruffled Comelia’s hair “That’s good to hear With him by your side, I can feel at ease!
To Granny Rebeccas 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 villa, 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 is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
