All in all, no matter what, she couldn't let Jeremy and Granny Luisa's standard of living take a hit. Did they still have the property in Riverton? If not, her current house wouldn’t be enough for six people.
So, she needed to buy a bigger house as soon as possible to ensure their comfort.
As she was lost in thought, Jeremy reached out and held her hand in his. "What are you thinking about?"
Cornelia lifted her eyes to meet his. "I’m planning our future."
Jeremy perked up at this, his silver glasses glinting as he focused on Cornelia. "How are you planning it? Can you share it with me?"
Cornelia leaned on his shoulder, whispering, "I plan to buy a bigger house." A bigger house would also be conducive to Jeremy's recuperation. A few days ago, Dr. Lester had told her that Jeremy was recovering well, but they needed to stay alert, take good care of him, not let him overwork, and keep him happy.d2
Jeremy asked, "Have you found a house you like?"
Cornelia answered, "I haven’t lived in Riverton for a long time. Where would I find the time to look at houses? When I get back to Riverton, I’ll take some time to look around."
Jeremy said, "If you haven’t found the right one, just let me know. Do you want a spacious flat or a villa? I can give some suggestions."
This guy clearly didn't realize he was broke. Did he think that in Riverton, anyone could afford a spacious flat or a villa?
Jeremy asked, "Why aren’t you talking?"
Cornelia replied, "You tell me. Do you prefer a spacious flat or a villa?"
Jeremy answered, "I don't have any particular preference, as long as it’s livable."
