Chapter 778
After her father’s death, Cornella couldn’t sleep at night. Even when she did manage to doze off, nightmares would
jolt her awake. Only when she was nestled in her grandma’s arms, listening to her lullabies, could she get a bit
more sleep.
“Grandma…”
“Mhm?”
“Grandma…”
“Nelly, I’m here…” Granny Rebecca knew what Cornelia was getting at. Every time she called out, Granny Rebecca
would answer, doing everything she
could to soothe her.
“Grandma, let’s go to sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Alright, let’s sleep”
Perhaps because she felt at ease, it didn’t take long before Cornelia fell asleep.
Granny Rebecca looked at her resting face, lightly stroking it. “Silly girl, so many years have passed and you haven’t
changed a bit. When you’re scared, you still want to sleep with grandma.”
Granny Rebecca shifted slightly due to an uncomfortable sitting position, and this movement made Cornelia
suddenly open her eyes and mumble,
“Grandma…”
“Grandma’s here, Nelly dear. Go back to sleep.”
“Grandma, you can’t leave me alone, please…” In her dream, Cornelia was still murmuring, clutching tightly onto
her grandma’s clothes, scared that she would leave her.
“Silly girl Granny Rebecca sighed.
Maybe it was her grandma’s scent, or the comfort of her embrace, but Cornelia slept deeply this time, only waking
up in the afternoon. She opened her eyes to two huge faces in front of her, which made her jolt upright. “Grandma,
Patricia, what are you guys doing here?”
Granny Luisa said, “This is the first time I’ve seen our Nelly sleeping. She’s even pretty when she sleeps.”
Patricia chimed in, “True that. Some people look pretty when they’re awake but turn into a mess when they’re
asleep. But our Nelly is beautiful even in sleep.”
Granny Luisa continued, “Especially those eyelashes of Nelly’s, they’re like little fans. And that face, so soft and
rosy, I just want to pinch it….……..
Cornelia didn’t know whether to be angry or happy. “Granny, Patricia..
Granny Rebecca scolded, “Luisa, enough with the teasing. You’re making the poor kid blush”
“I’m not blushing. I’m scared! Imagine waking up to a bunch of faces hovering over you. Isn’t that creepy?”
Cornelia argued.
Granny Luisa thought for a moment, I suppose that could be a bit startling.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatricia agreed, “Granny Luisa, we shouldn’t do this anymore. We can’t scare Nelly. If we give her a heart attack,
Marc will have our hides.”
At the mention of Marcus, Cornelia looked around. Not seeing him made her feel a bit disappointed. He had
confessed his feelings, but now he was nowhere to be found. It would make sense if it was a workday, but it was
Sunday and she knew he didn’t have any plans.
“Nelly, are you looking for Marc?” Granny Luisa was quick to notice. “Marc has some things to handle. He’ll come to
see you after he’s done.”
I’m not looking for him. With you and Patricia here, how could I possibly have time to look for him?” Cornelia
retorted.
“Alright then, let’s not talk about him. Patricia and the others have prepared a lot of delicious food. Get up, freshen
up, and let’s have a meal together.” Granny Luisa suggested.
Cornelia checked the time. It was already close to two in the afternoon. “Grandma, haven’t you guys eaten yet? Are
you waiting for me? You don’t have to Go ahead, don’t starve yourselves.”
“We wouldn’t be so foolish If we were hungry, we would have eaten. We’re not waiting for you specifically. We just
had a late breakfast, so we aren’t hungry yet. That’s why we’re waiting for you.” Granny Luisa explained.
Cornelia was speechless. Alright, they were all sharp as tacks. She was the only slowpoke here.
