"Alright, let's move on from your toe-biting phase and talk about your bed-wetting days." Granny Rebecca said, not caring that Granny Luisa was there.
Cornelia knew she couldn't stop them, so she gave up. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
What surprised Cornelia was that neither of the old ladies asked about Jeremy.
After the pizza was ready, Granny Luisa had a slice. She really thought it was good, "Nelly, your pizza is delicious. Can I bring some to the neighbors?"
"Sure, Granny. I'll make another one right away," Cornelia made another pizza and said, "I'll bring it to the neighbor."
"I'll go." Granny Luisa went out, chuckling.
Granny Rebecca had been living here for a while and had never heard of a neighbor living next door, but she didn't pry.
After lunch, Cornelia sat in the yard with the two old ladies, chatting and basking in the sun. It was a moment so beautiful that Cornelia wished time could stop.
The grannies were getting older by the day, and the chances to be with them were dwindling. Because of this, Cornelia decided to stay overnight and return to Riverton tomorrow. She wanted to spend as much time with the grannies as she could, otherwise, she might not get another chance.
After dinner, Cornelia stayed in a guest room on the second floor. She was used to staying in hotels due to her frequent trips, so she fell asleep right away without any fuss about the bed.
