Granny Luisa replied with a chuckle, "You know, life's been a breeze without you nagging me all the time."
Cornelia pouted, asking, "Does that mean you guys don't love me anymore? What should I do now?"
The two grannies burst into laughter at her adorable act. After a lively chat, Cornelia finally spilled the beans, "Granny, do you know what shoe size Jeremy wears?"
On hearing this, Rebecca quickly glanced at Luisa, as if to say, "See, I told you those two would patch things up, but you wouldn't believe me."
Granny Luisa was grinning from ear to ear but didn't want to embarrass Cornelia, so she didn't dig too deep and just gave her Jeremy's shoe size.
Cornelia saw the little exchange between the grannies, but she played dumb, not wanting them to feel let down, "Alright. You guys carry on with your meal, I'll call in a few days."
"Okay, sweetheart, remember to eat on time and don't overwork yourself," Rebecca said. Before Cornelia could reply, the video call ended abruptly.
After the call ended, the two grannies were as giddy as kids with new toys.
Luisa excitedly said, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that Cornelia is buying shoes for Jeremy!"
Rebecca rolled her eyes, "They're already living together, what's the big deal in buying a pair of shoes."
Luisa said, "Then let's hope they quickly give us a grandchild."
Rebecca replied, "I need to get back in shape fast so I can help them babysit."
Luisa agreed, "Yes, let's babysit together."
While the grannies were planning about babysitting, Cornelia was worried if Jeremy would like the shoes she bought.
All the guys she knew wore formal shoes to work, she wasn't sure if sports shoes would be apt.
