Her first question left Marcus speechless.
Granny Rebecca thought he was shy because there were others around, so he was too embarrassed to talk to her.
She chuckled and said to the caretaker, "I'd like to have a chat with my grandson-in-law alone, you go on and do your thing."
Granny Rebecca emphasized the term "grandson-in-law" to assert Cornelia's sovereignty, letting other women give up on their intentions sooner.
The caretaker knew she shouldn't overthink, but before leaving, she couldn't help but take an extra look at Marcus, who was just too handsome.
Marcus, on the other hand, never glanced at the woman next to him, which made Granny Rebecca very satisfied.
The more she looked at him, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help but laugh. Her face wrinkling with joy and she said, "Jay, I'm so glad you could make time to see me."
Marcus politely replied, "It's my pleasure."
Granny continued, "You and Nelly got married before you fell in love, so you need to spend more time building your relationship and not neglect your family because of work."
Marcus nodded, "Yes."
Since he didn't talk much, Granny Rebecca had to keep the conversation going, "Nelly is a strong girl who won't show her vulnerability easily. She keeps a lot to herself, so you need to take care of her more in the future."
Marcus replied, "Alright."
Granny Rebecca said a lot, and Marcus' answers were always simple, "Alright."
After a while, Granny Rebecca began to sense something was off, "Jay, are you and Nelly not getting along? Or is there some other problem?"
"Granny, don't worry, we haven't had a disagreement. As you just said, we didn't have a foundation before getting married, and after marriage, we've been apart more than together due to work. We're still getting used to each other." This was the best answer Marcus could come up with to avoid worrying Granny Rebecca.
