Chapter 264 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Granny Luisa said, “Then you should go take a break after breakfast” Cornelia: “Granny, I’m fine. I get my energy back in a bit. Cornelia woke up early to have breakfast with the two old ladies, then walked with them in the yard and chats, spending as much time with them as possible. Her main purpose of coming to Southern Peak was to accompany the two grannies she spent the whole day shut in her room sleeping, she might as well not come. During the walk, the conversation somehow veered back to Comelia and Jeremy, and naturally, the topic of having kids came up again. Comelia really didn’t want to continue this topic, so she quickly changed the subject. Grannies, what do you want for lunch? I can cook for you, okay?” Granny Luisa said. “No need, someone is already preparing lunch.” Granny Rebecca said. “Next time remember to bring Jay with you to Southern Peak We want to ask when he’s planning to have kids.” Granny Luisa said, “Or I can call Jeremy now to ask what he’s thinking?” Cornelia quickly intervened, “Granny, Jeremy’s phone was stolen, and we can’t get in touch with him now.” Granny Luisa said, “Then we’ll contact him later. Anyway, you two need to start planning for a baby, and you can’t delay any longer. If it drags on, we two old ladies might not see your child even when we’re six feet under“)
• This kind of pressure to have children made Cornelia feel stressed. She originally bought a ticket to return to Riverton in the evening, but she changed it to the afternoon, returning to Riverton earlier Back in Riverton, she had some time to kill, so Comelia decided to hit the mall and buy some clothes, otherwise she’d have nothing to wear during the summer. The nearest mall to her home was the Riverton Holiday Plaza. This mall is a large complex incorporating a shopping centre, offices, and a five–star themed hotel. It’s conveniently located above a subway station and is one of Riverton’s most famous five–star shopping centres. The first to fifth floors of the mall have more affordable brands that the average office worker can afford. The sixth floor features restaurants offering dishes from all over the country. Generally, a meal for three costs about $100, which is within Cornelia’s budget. The seventh to ninth floors offer international luxury brands, with the cheapest clothing starting in the five figures. It’s a place for the rich. The tenth floor also has restaurants, but these are high–end ones, with meals starting at $1000 per person. Places like these, Cornelia and her friends could only afford to come once a year. Even if they had some savings in their accounts, they wouldn’t want to come a second time. Paying the bill after a meal felt like they were cutting off a few pounds of flesh. Cornelia made her way to the first floor. Just a few steps in, she heard a sweet voice behind her, “Cornelia!” When she heard this voice, Cornelia realized it was Natalia. She turned around to see Natalia walking towards her in stilettos, “Cornelia, it’s really you. I thought I was seeing things. Are you here to shop for clothes too?”
• “Yes” Cornelia looked at Natalia The weather was hot today. Natalia had ditched her usual simple attire and was wearing a white long–sleeved bubble dress, with a small scarf tied around her neck. While speaking, Natalia lightly pulled her scarf, revealing a mark that looked like a hickey under the scarf. Comella wasn’t sure whether Natalia Intentionally let her see it or not, but she definitely caught a glimpse of it Natalia excitedly grabbed Comelia, “Cornelia, are you shopping alone? Wanna team up? Comelia looked down at Natalia’s hand gripping her arm, paused, then subtly pulled away, “Ms. Reese, I can only afford to shop from the first to fifth floor” Natalia, seemingly oblivious to Cornelia’s aloofness, grabbed her arm again, “My brother just wired me some money, so we could shop from the sixth to ninth floor together. If you see anything you like, I can buy it for you” Cameron thought she was really dating Marcus now, so he wired her a big sum of money today, hoping she could dress up and not embarrass herself in front of Marcus Comelia said, “No need.” Natalia said. “Then let’s shop from the first to fifth floor together.” Comelia said, “I won’t help you chase after President Hartley, so you don’t need to butter me up.” Natalia said, “Comelia, I can’t live without Marcus. Would you rather see me die?” Comelia pulled her arm free, took two steps back and kept her distance from Natalia, No one can’t live without someone else. If you’re determined to make your own life miserable, that’s your business”
