"Granny, I've bought a house. Once I'm done with the renovation, I'll bring you over to live in Riverton, okay?"
"Okay."
"Granny, there's something else I've been mulling over for a while, and I've decided to let you in on it."
"Go ahead."
"I've decided to give Jeremy a shot. I want to try dating him; I kind of give myself a chance too."
"Why the sudden change of heart?" Granny Rebecca glanced at Jeremy, who was usually calm but now looked all jittery.
"Because I think he's a trustworthy guy, which means he might also be a stable emotional partner. Granny, do you agree with me continuing to see him?" Even though it was ultimately Cornelia's choice whether or not to be with Jeremy, she still wanted to hear her grandmother's opinion.
Under Marcus' watchful gaze, Granny Rebecca slowly said, "And what if your feelings are wrong? You can't forget about his previous talk of divorce."
Granny Luisa threw a punch at Jeremy, making sure it happened right in front of Granny Rebecca.
Cornelia said, "I'm talking about trying to date him. If we don't click after spending time together, then we'll just have to call it quits."
"Alright." Granny Rebecca was satisfied with this response. She hoped they could reconcile, but more than that, she wished Cornelia wouldn't be tied down by a man or marriage. If the marriage wasn't happy, she should leave it in a heartbeat. "Nelly, whatever decision you make, Granny will always have your back."
The moment Zack and Abigail walked in, they could smell the aroma of the soup. "Cornelia, didn't you go to work today?"
