Granny Luisa said, "Then you should go take a break after breakfast."
Cornelia: "Granny, I'm fine. I'll get my energy back in a bit." Cornelia woke up early to have breakfast with the two old ladies, then walked with them in the yard and chats, spending as much time with them as possible.
Her main purpose of coming to Southern Peak was to accompany the two grannies. If she spent the whole day shut in her room sleeping, she might as well not come.
During the walk, the conversation somehow veered back to Cornelia and Jeremy, and naturally, the topic of having kids came up again.
Cornelia really didn't want to continue this topic, so she quickly changed the subject, "Grannies, what do you want for lunch? I can cook for you, okay?"
Granny Luisa said, "No need, someone is already preparing lunch."
Granny Rebecca said, "Next time remember to bring Jay with you to Southern Peak. We want to ask when he's planning to have kids."
Granny Luisa said, "Or I can call Jeremy now to ask what he's thinking?"
Cornelia quickly intervened, "Granny, Jeremy's phone was stolen, and we can't get in touch with him now."
Granny Luisa said, "Then we'll contact him later. Anyway, you two need to start planning for a baby, and you can't delay any longer. If it drags on, we two old ladies might not see your child even when we're six feet under."
This kind of pressure to have children made Cornelia feel stressed. She originally bought a ticket to return to Riverton in the evening, but she changed it to the afternoon, returning to Riverton earlier.
Back in Riverton, she had some time to kill, so Cornelia decided to hit the mall and buy some clothes, otherwise she'd have nothing to wear during the summer. The nearest mall to her home was the Riverton Holiday Plaza.
