Chapter 1180

Old Augustine originally had all the time in the world to make up for past regrets. However, life had a knack for

messing with people. It was only after Silvia had completely left this world that Old Augustine found out that Silvia

had been alive and that he had a granddaughter, Cornelial

Tears once again slipped uncontrollably from Grandpa Augustine’s eyes, “Silvia, I heard your biggest worry before

you left was our granddaughter, Nelly. Look at her now, she and her husband, Marcus, are head over heels for each

other, and she’s living a happy life. Of course, I’ll do my best to help her, not only to have a happy marriage but

also to ensure she never has to worry about money.”

The butler appeared out of nowhere and chimed in, “Mr. Augustine, I don’t mean to criticize you, but I would feel

uncomfortable if I didn’t say this.

Grandpa Augustine responded, “Spit it out.”

The butler said, “Miss Cornelia’s husband, Marcus, is the president of the Hartley Group. He’s the richest man in the

world. Miss Cornelia already has more than enough money. You really don’t need to give her material things.”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Do you get it? Marcus is her husband, and it’s true that half the money he earns belongs

to Nelly. But in other people’s eyes, Nelly is just dependent on the Hartley family. The gifts I give to Nelly, that’s the

money that truly belongs to Nelly. No matter what happens in the future. she can do what she wants with

confidence.”

The butler said, “You’re always thinking ahead.”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Nelly is the precious treasure that Silvia left for me. I would love nothing more than to

treat her like a princess. Of course, I have to think more carefully for her.”

The butler fell silent. Many years passed, and Grandpa Augustine still couldn’t forget. Perhaps only when he finally

joined Silvia in heaven, would he be able to truly let go of his obsession.

When Cornelia woke up in the morning, she saw a message from Marcus. He told her that he was on his way to the

capital and would probably arrive around four in the afternoon.

Scared that she was dreaming, Cornelia quickly got up, washed her face with cold water, picked up her phone

again, and confirmed that Marcus was indeed coming back in the afternoon.

The hours of waiting felt like forever to Cornelia. Because her mind was all on Marcus, she was distracted while

playing chess with Grandpa Augustine in the morning, constantly looking outside.

Grandpa Augustine teased her, “You little girl, you’re not focused at all today.”

Cornelia glanced at her watch again, “Time is dragging today. I’ve been playing chess with you for so long, and it’s

still not noon?”

Grandpa Augustine said, “Stop thinking about Marcus, settle down and play chess, and time will fly by.”

Cornelia tried her best to calm down and focus on playing chess with Grandpa Augustine. She tried not to think

about Marcus, but she couldn’t control her thoughts.

Time ticked by slowly, and at three in the afternoon, Cornelia heard the sound of a car outside. She rushed out of

the yard and saw a tall figure just getting out of the car.

Even if she only saw the figure’s back, Cornelia was sure that it was the man she had been missing. She ran

towards him like the wind, “Jeremy!”

Hearing Cornelia’s voice, Marcus turned around. Despite the distance between them, he had already opened his

arms, ready to welcome her embrace.

Cornelia ran over quickly and jumped right into his arms. She tightly hugged his muscular waist, feeling his unique

scent. However, his scent seemed to carry a hint of medicine this time, “Have you taken medicine?”

Marcus’ illness couldn’t be treated with common medicine. Therefore, Dr. Lester switched him to a special

formulation. Before he left the hospital to see Cornelia, Marcus had taken a thorough shower and put on new

clothes. He didn’t smell any odd smell himself, but Cornelia’s sensitive nose picked up the scent of medicine straight

away.
