Marcus felt his buddies were a bit flaky, and aside from them, he only had two old ladies at home to rely on. But they knew his and his wife's situation inside out, so they could provide relevant help.
Granny Luisa was always on high alert: "Why on earth are you getting people to bring so much stuff over?"
Marcus couldn't help but laugh at Granny Luisa's words: "Can't I bring gifts when I come to see you as a younger generation?"
Granny Luisa finally let out a sigh, saying, "It's your previous confusing actions that got me worried."
Marcus helped Granny Luisa into the house, then dismissed the butler and maid, saying, "Granny, where's Granny Rebecca?"
Granny Luisa said, "She's feeling a bit off today. The doctor gave her medicine, and she's resting in her room."
Marcus immediately got up and said, "I'll go see her."
Granny Luisa said, "She just fell asleep; what's the point of you going in now? Wait until she wakes up. Tell me what you're up to today, and don't you dare upset her."
Marcus held Granny Luisa's hand, each word sincere: "Granny Luisa, I truly cherish Cornelia. I want to spend my life with her, but I'm clueless about how to do it right. My parents had a rocky relationship; they lived their own lives. I've never seen how a normal couple behaves, and I'm not sure how to manage my marriage with Cornelia. Granny Luisa, can you share some wisdom?"
Marcus' words, heartfelt and somewhat helpless, tugged at Granny Luisa's heartstrings.
Growing up, his parents were indifferent, so he spent most of his time with Granny Luisa, who taught him quite a lot.
Granny Luisa let out a deep sigh, then slowly said, "Your grandpa passed away early when your dad wasn't capable of taking over the Hartley Group. So we accepted the Kamp family's proposal, married into their family, and together maintained the legacy our elders had built."
"When we made that decision, I had no idea your dad was already in love with someone else, and he didn't object. Later, when your mom was pregnant with you, he wanted her to have an abortion, saying I broke him up with that woman. It was only then that we learned he had a girl he liked before he got married."
"After finding out about your dad, we found out your mom had a similar past. She too had someone else she liked before marrying your dad."
"But she was better than your dad. When they just got married, she hoped to forget the past and live a good life with your dad, so she tried hard to give birth to you. But your dad couldn't forget that woman and refused her request to live a good life together."
"From then on, she acted crazier than your dad, almost like she was madly trying to get back at him."
