Granny Luisa continued, "If Nelly could find someone she likes, someone who could really treat her well, we should wish her well."
Patricia said, "I get what you're saying, I also want Nelly to be happy. But selfishly, I think Nelly's happiness should come from Marc."
Granny Luisa said, "Happiness shouldn't be decided by other people; happiness should be something you give yourself."
Patricia fell silent.
Granny Luisa said, "I'll hang up now. When the doctor is done with the tests, let me know the results."
"Okay." Patricia thought of Cornelia and Marcus, possibly never having a chance again, and she felt really bummed out. As she looked up, she saw Jarvis's gaze rest on Cornelia. His eyes were filled with admiration, scrutiny, and a hint of unyielding determination.
This wouldn't do. She couldn't let Nelly be snatched up by someone else so quickly; she had to think of a way to stop this.
After a moment, Patricia suddenly said loudly, "Nelly, Granny Luisa hasn't been feeling well lately and she could really use some company. Marc and Bri are both super busy, leaving her all alone in the Hartley Mansion, it's heartbreaking. Do you want to come with me to the Hartley Mansion to keep Granny Luisa company?"
As soon as she finished talking, Patricia appeared in front of everyone. She pretended to just notice the others, "Oh my, Augustine, you're back so soon? And who is this gentleman? Is he your driver?"
Mistaken for driver, Jarvis was not offended, but nodded to Patricia with a smile, "Sorry to bother you."
