A simple answer like that wasn't gonna cut it for Granny Luisa, she was burning to know what was going on in Cornelia's head. "Nelly, I'm not trying to pile pressure on you. I'm just worried. Worried that you two won't stick together, worried that one day you'll up and leave Marc, leaving him all alone."
Cornelia was taken aback. Marcus was such a catch, so many women would kill to marry him, why were they always worried that nobody would want him?
Cornelia didn't have an answer. Right now, it wasn't about figuring out why, but calming Granny Luisa down. "Granny, don't worry, we've decided to spend the rest of our lives together. We're gonna work hard at this, okay?"
"Some things just can't be promised forever," Granny Luisa's eyes filled with worry in an instant. "Nelly, has Marc ever told you about his parents?"
Cornelia, "He's mentioned them."
Granny Luisa, "Then let me tell you some stuff Marc doesn't even know. Wanna hear?"
Cornelia, "Go ahead."
Granny Luisa, "His father, my son, was in love with someone but agreed to a marriage of convenience. After the Kamp family helped him secure his position, he divorced and went back to his old flame.
“To be more precise, he never really cut off ties with that woman. He was sneaking around behind his wife's back with her, and had a son with her who was just two days younger than Marc."
Just two days younger!
That meant this man was sleeping with his wife and his mistress at the same time.
