Chapter 1128

Marcus grinned, “Cornelia’s here, so I’m here. Where else would I be?”

Grandpa Augustine didn’t have time for this, “Where’s Nelly? Get her out here. I need to talk to her

Marcus replied, “She’s busy at the moment.”

“How can she be busy? Don’t stand between me and her. She’s my granddaughter now.” Grandpa Augustine’s

voice trailed off.

Seeing the bite mark on Marcus lip, he knew it was Cornelia’s doing, “When she’s available, have her come see

me.”

“Sure thing.” Marcus said, “Take care now.”

Grandpa Augustine turned to leave but shot Marcus a stern look, “It’s not dark yet, Nelly still has the banquet to

attend. Control yourself.”

“I will” Marcus assured him.

“You’re just like any other man, always thinking about the birds and the bees. Seems like I didn’t know you as well

as I thought.” Grandpa Augustine said.

“It’s never too late.” Marcus replied.

“You’re trying to piss me off, aren’t you?” Augustine questioned.

Marcus quickly denied, “I don’t want to upset you. Just saying if you need something, you can come to me.

“How would you know something I don’t?” Augustine asked.

“Do you know Alfredo had a private chat with Cornelia?” Marcus countered.

“Nelly told you? Did he mess with her?” Augustine demanded.

You know Alfredo better than me, he wouldn’t bully a little girl. He’s just worried about you being fooled. Marcus

explained.

“If he’s worried about me, that’s no excuse to mess with Nelly. The recognition ceremony’s done, Nelly is my

granddaughter now. No one can harm her, including you” Augustine warned.

That was exactly what Marcus needed to hear, “Hold onto that. If anyone dares to mess with Cornelia, you have to

protect her.”

“Of course.” Augustine said.

“I have some business to attend to with the Hartley Group. I need to get back to Riverton. I’ll leave Cornelia with

you, let her stay in the Capital for a bit longer.” Marcus said.

“Are you serious? You’re okay with your wife staying in the Capital with me?” Augustine asked..

“Zavier has some misunderstandings about us. He might take some actions soon. It’s safer for Nelly to stay with

you.” Marcus explained

“Zavier? The nut job from the Rivera family?” Augustine questioned.

Marcus nodded, “Yes.”

“Weren’t you guys buddies? You hung out together in college, and now you’re enemies?” Augustine asked.

“It’s complicated. Just keep Cornelia close, and limit her outdoor activities. I’ll pick her up when she can return to

Riverton.” Marcus explained.

“Is there anything you need my help with?” Augustine asked.

“Just take good care of Cornelia: Marcus replied.

“I’m supposed to do that. I’m asking about other stuff.” Augustine clarified.

“Don’t worry about the other stuff.” Marcus said.

Augustine smiled, admiring Marcus, “I know you’re capable. You don’t need my help.”

“I have to leave now. You can tell Cornelia about this later.” Marcus said.

“Is it that urgent? You can’t wait till she comes out and tell her yourself?” Augustine asked..

“It is urgent. I’ll text her on the way” Marcus replied.
