Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, Leonardo hurriedly waved the white flag, "Don't get mad, I was just messing around. My bad."
If Granny Luisa knew about his pot-stirring intentions, she'd definitely give him a piece of her mind.
Granny Luisa quickly came out, "Nelly, what's up?"
Cornelia glanced at Leonardo, catching his surrendering gaze, then said, "Leonardo tried to hit on a girl just now, but sadly, she wasn't into him."
Granny Luisa nodded knowingly, "Well, that's normal. After all, Leo is no Marc. Not as many girls are lining up to marry him."
Leonardo felt like he'd been hit by a truck. He might never love again.
......
After dinner, Cornelia and Granny Luisa left the Wilson family.
On the way back, Granny Luisa instructed the driver to drop Cornelia off at Celestial Chateau first. Cornelia cuddled up to Granny Luisa's arm, "Can I stay with you at the Hartley Mansion tonight?"
Granny Luisa agreed, "Sure. I'll let Marc know to come back to the old house after work."
Cornelia shook her head, "I just want to spend some time with you alone. Let's not bother Marc. He's been busy with work recently. It would be a good chance for him to get some rest when I'm not at home."
Granny Luisa patted Cornelia's hand, "Alright, we'll do it your way."
......
Back at the Hartley Mansion, Cornelia went to bed early.
Granny Luisa then found Patricia, "Now that Nelly and Marc are living in Celestial Chateau, and you're around them every day, if anything happens, you have to let me know."
