Chapter 1243
This incident might have happened decades ago, but for Grandpa Augustine, it felt like it was just yesterday. It was still fresh in his mind.
"Man, I messed up.’ Grandpa Augustine sighed, "If I'd only thought sooner that Granny Rebecca might've changed her name, I would've switched up my search tactics. Then maybe, just maybe, I would've found you guys sooner. And if I'd found you sooner, then maybe Granny Rebecca wouldn't have met a tragic fate"
Cornelia tried to soothe him, “The murderer has faced the harsh hand of law and justice has been served. Let's put it behind us and start afresh."
"Yeah." Grandpa Augustine nodded, then added, "Nelly, I picked out a few potential suitors for you last night. Want me to set up some dates?"
Cornelia winced at the idea, “I just got out of a rough relationship, I'm not jumping into another one just yet"
"Who said marriage is a bumpy ride? You just haven't met the right guy yet, that's why it's been tough. Trust me, the boys I've lined up for you are top-notch.” Grandpa Augustine said proudly.
Cornelia laughed, "Grandpa Augustine, I'm not in the mood for dating right now. Can you hold off until I'm ready to look for Mr. Right?"
Although Grandpa Augustine was pushy, Cornelia didn't mind. Without Granny Rebecca hustling her to get hitched, having Grandpa Augustine nudge her felt somewhat comforting.
He didn't actually intend to force Cornelia into anything, he just wanted her to be happy, even without Marcus.
He believed that the best way for Cornelia to get over her failed marriage was to start a new romance.
"No worries if you're not ready to date. Just let me tell you about these guys, see if any of them tickles your fancy."
Augustine said.
“Alright, spill the beans.’ Cornelia agreed.
