Chapter 728
Just as she sat down at the dining table, Cornelia’s WhatsApp pinged with a new message.
Cornelia grabbed her phone and saw Zack had posted in the group chat, “Cornelia, Abby and I are off to the
grocery store. Her boyfriend will arrive around ten. You better come back early and help us cook, and don’t forget
to bring your hubby.”
In the past, no matter whose birthday it was, the three of them would go to a decent restaurant for a meal,
followed by some fun activities.
Cornelia knew that this year, Zack wanted to cook at home. He wanted to use this opportunity to observe Marcus
and see if he was husband material.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCornelia replied, “Alright, I’ll bring him over after breakfast. But no messing with him, got it?”
Zack replied, “Can’t I mess with him just a little?”
Cornelia replied, “No! Promise me or I won’t bring him.”
Zack replied, “Spoil him all you want. Work yourself to the bone.”
Cornelia replied, “He’s not gonna let me do all the work.”
Abigail replied, “If President Hartley was my boyfriend, not only would I spoil him like Cornelia, but I’d also take care
of him and use him when necessary.”
Cornelia replied, “No dirty talk!”
Abigail replied, “Oh, come on, don’t act so uptight.”
Cornelia replied, “I’m not being uptight! Just remember, we can’t just say whatever we want when he’s around. He
heard our conversation the other day, you know.”
Abigail replied, “He heard? And he’s still cool as a cucumber? He’s definitely not ordinary! What did he say?”
Cornelia replied, “He said he’s pretty good in all aspects and I could use him anytime.”
Abigail replied, “Hahaha… He is quite the flirt! How has it been these past few days? Is he better than an average
guy? Oh wait, you haven’t been with anyone else, so you wouldn’t know.”
Before Cornelia could reply, she heard Granny Rebecca’s anxious voice, “Nelly, why is your face so red? Are you
running a fever?”
Cornelia replied, “Ah… Granny, I’m not… I’m not sick, the soup is just a bit hot. I drank it too fast.”
“Soup?” Granny Rebecca became even more worried, “Nelly, are you okay?”
She was holding a sandwich, where did the soup come from?

It was all Abigail’s fault, always leading her astray and filling her head with nasty thoughts.
Granny Rebecca and Granny Luisa looked at Cornelia worriedly, asking in unison. “Are you sure
you’re okay?”
Marcus reached over and touched her forehead, “I think she’s just blushing, not feverish.”
Cornella was speechless. Who asked him to butt in?
The two grannies looked at Marcus, seeming to understand something. They thought, it seemed the day to see
their grandchildren was coming soon.
Not wanting to be the center of attention, Cornelia quickly finished her breakfast, grabbed her phone and Marcus,
and said, “Grannies, Patricia, we have to go now. See you tonight!”
The three ladies stood at the door, watching them leave. “See you tonight!”
