Dylan took his job seriously and was not afraid of inspections from his superiors. But this time, with both President Hartley and Granny Luisa visiting, and keeping their visit low-profile to the point that only he knew about their schedule, he felt a bit nervous. Dylan suspected that something big was about to happen. He felt uneasy until Granny Luisa said it was a private matter, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "Granny Luisa, President Hartley, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I am more familiar with Rosenberg than you are, so if there's anything that needs to be handled, I should be able to handle it better."
Marcus nodded. "Give me the car keys. You can go now."
Dylan quickly handed over the car keys. "Okay."
The business car had seven seats, but no driver, so someone had to be responsible for driving. Naturally, the task fell on Zack, who was more familiar with Rosenberg. To help Cornelia, Zack didn't complain at all. "Are we going straight home?"
Cornelia clutched Granny Rebecca's urn tightly and nodded. "Yes."
Granny Rebecca had a house in Rosenberg. Last year, when Granny Rebecca became ill, Cornelia took her to Riverton, and Granny Rebecca asked Cornelia to sell the house, saying that she would never return to this heartbreaking place again.
At the time, Cornelia was worried that Robison would take over the house. She thought that she could sell it for some money and save it for Granny Rebecca's retirement, so she gave the information to a real estate agent.
A few days later, when someone called her asking if she wanted to sell the house, she changed her mind and decided not to sell it. She and her grandmother had lived in that house for so many years, and it was filled with memories of their family. It was also a place that Granny Rebecca valued. As long as the house was still there, no matter where Granny Rebecca went, she could feel secure, knowing that she had a place to stay.
So Cornelia didn't sell the house, and kept it for Granny Rebecca.
Zack was more familiar with the route from the airport to their neighborhood than the navigation system. He drove the car with everyone and headed straight for their neighborhood.
When they arrived outside the neighborhood, he parked the car on the side of the road. "Nelly, you take them out of the car first. Abby and I will go to the market to buy some food. We might have guests tonight."
