Chapter 1117
Grandpa Duran continued, “Alex is the full name of my third son, but he also goes by Alexa.“
“Alexa?” Cornelia questioned, “Grandpa Duran, why does a boy have a girl’s name?”
Grandpa Duran laughed, “You see, us Durans always seem to have a shortage of girls. My brother’s first litter were
all boys. It wasn’t until his sons were all grown up that his wife got pregnant again. When they found out she was
pregnant again, everyone was hoping for a girl, but alas, another boy. That’s why Emilio also goes by Emily”
Comelia giggled, “Emily, that’s a pretty name.”
Emily pouted, “Uncle, you promised to have my great niece call me uncle, why are you still using my nickname?”
Grandpa Duran pinched Emily’s face lightly, ‘She’s the only girl in our family, how could we possibly keep it from

The Duran clan was quite large, but girls were scarce. Grandpa Duran’s parents had eight kids, seven of them boys,
with only one girl. As for the children of Grandpa Duran’s brothers, all except for the fourth son, who had a girl, had
boys. Even amongst the grandchildren, things were even worse, as none of them had girls yet, all boys. The family
always hoped one of them would have a girl, but it never happened.
So, when they heard that Grandpa Duran was bringing a granddaughter home, the four brothers were stoked. They
felt that finally, there would be more than just nephews in the family, but also a niece.
Hearing this, Emily agreed, “Uncle, then you should formally introduce her to us.”
Grandpa Duran pushed Cornelia forward, “This is Cornelia, from Rosenberg. She’s my granddaughter and your
junior. I hope you guys will look out for her.”
Brian cocked his head arrogantly, “Hello! I’m Brian, the first in our generation, sixteenth in line in the whole family.
From now on, you call me uncle.”
Seeing that this boy was about her age, Cornelia struggled to call him uncle, “Hi Brian! We’re peers, why don’t we
just call each other by name?”
Raising an eyebrow, Bnan turned to Grandpa Duran, “Uncle, your thoughts?”
Grandpa Duran replied, “Nelly, Grandpa will respect you no matter what, but you must respect the family
hierarchy.”
The Duran family was large and strict about respecting elders, no room for slack.
Brian locked at Cornelia again, daring her to defy him. Not wanting to make things difficult for Grandpa Duran,
Comelia complied, “Hello, Uncle Brian!”
“Good girl! Here’s a gift for you.” Brian chuckled, pulling out a gift box for Cornelia, “Now that you’ve called me
uncle, you can ask me for anything you need.”

Reluctantly, Cornelia accepted the gift, “Thanks, Uncle Brian.”
Then came Wyatt, I’m also your uncle”
This time, Cornelia agreed, “Hello, Uncle Wyatt!”
Wyatt also gave Cornelia a gift, “Good girl, as long as I’m here, you can live freely. Don’t be afraid of anyone or
anything”
Comelia received the gift. “Thanks, Uncle Wyatt.”
Alexa stepped up, directly handed Cornelia a gift, “I’m your uncle.”
By the end of the afternoon, Comelia’s mouth was numb from all the greeting, “Thanks, Uncle Wyatt!”
Alexa said, “I won’t say much. Whatever my brother said to you, is what I’d say. Remember it well, don’t be so
clueless if anyone bullies you, you know who to go to for help.”
