Grandpa Augustine said, "Alright, you head out first. Be careful, don't get into any accidents. I don't want to see Cornelia heartbroken."
Marcus replied, "I'll do my best."
He would try his best to survive, and if he couldn't, he would do everything he could to ensure a smooth future for Cornelia. Even if he couldn't be by her side in the future, he wanted Cornelia to have a carefree life.
Watching Marcus' tall figure head towards the staircase until he disappeared from view, Grandpa Augustine finally took his eyes off him, "He seems a bit off."
"Grandpa Augustine, who's off?" Cornelia asked as she came out of the bathroom, having heard Grandpa Augustine muttering to himself.
Instead of answering Cornelia, Grandpa Augustine immediately pulled her in to take a closer look at her, "Did Alfredo want to see you alone? Did he bully you?"
Cornelia smiled, "He said he'll protect me."
"Really?" Grandpa Augustine asked.
"Of course." Cornelia looked around, "Grandpa Augustine, have you seen Marcus?"
"He said he went back to Riverton." Grandpa Augustine answered.
"He went back to Riverton? Didn't he wait for me to go back together?" Cornelia took out her phone, intending to call Marcus, when she received a message from him.
He said: [Cornelia, I need to go abroad for some matters. Stay with Grandpa Augustine in the Capital for a while. When I come back from abroad, I'll come pick you up to go home.]
"What?" He left without telling her in advance, which made Cornelia very anxious. She immediately called Marcus.
