Ben asked, "Where did you go for your vacation?"
Cornelia replied, "Just wandered around aimlessly."
Ben said, "We're also heading back to the city, wanna join us?"
"My friend is picking me up." Cornelia said with a smile, "See you later, President Hartley, Ben!"
"Bye!" Ben watched Cornelia leave, and then mumbled to himself after getting back in the car, "I've never seen Cornelia dressed like this before, so soft and delicate, makes me wanna protect her."
Before he could finish, he felt a chill down his spine and a murderous aura behind him.
He turned around to see Marcus' eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses, dark and terrifying.
Ben was stunned.
What did he say that was so wrong?
Zack drove Granny Rebecca to the hospital and helped her with all the admission procedures.
Abigail stayed by the old lady's side to take care of her.
With their help, Cornelia was able to relax and got more time to find a caregiver.
In the evening, Granny Luisa arrived, and the two old ladies hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.
Cornelia tactfully left the room to give them some space to chat.
"Granny, he's busy with work and spends more than half of the month away. It'll probably be a couple more days before he can come back." Cornelia didn't dare to call him, fearing she might disturb Jeremy and also because she could tell he didn't want to communicate with her. The divorce matter was being handled by his lawyer.
Granny Rebecca lowered her head in disappointment, "I see."
Feeling helpless, Cornelia sent another message to her husband: [Mr. Artis, when you see this message, could you please give me a reply?]
Marcus had just finished his work and saw the message. He rubbed his forehead after reading it.
He really didn't want to have any more involvement with that woman, but for the sake of both their grandmothers, he replied with a simple” Okay."
As soon as he sent the message and hadn't even put down his phone, another message came: [Thank you for agreeing to see my grandmother. When are you coming so I can make arrangements?]
