Chapter 691
The Hartley family’s old house was a lakeside villa, a three–story building with two basement floors. The yard was
huge, with the whole lakeside greenery on the right belonging to them.
Although the overall area of the Hartley family’s old house was much smaller than the Celestial Chateau villa area
where Marcus now lived, it was still a true mansion. Something many people wouldn’t even dream of achieving in a
lifetime.
To the right of the entrance of the yard, there was a row of parking spaces with various cars for Granny Luisa’s
daily commute.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a cobblestone path about half mile wide leading to the main building, flanked by a man–made sea of
roses. The yard was all lit up and festive.
What was more, the servants were all lined up in two rows, holding a banner that read “Welcome Home Mrs.
Hartley.”
Under the command of Granny Luisa, they all shout in unison, “Welcome home, Mrs. Hartley!” The sound was
deafening, enough to disturb the neighbors even though it was a detached villa.
It was so over the top to look at directly.
Cornelia shifted her gaze to Marcus in the driver’s seat, “President Hartley, you didn’t arrange this welcoming
ceremony, did you?”
Marcus parked the car and tousled her hair with a smile, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who cares about
formalities? No need to guess, this must be Granny’s idea.”
He got out of the car first and opened the door for Cornelia, “She really likes you. From the moment she saw you,
she kept urging me to marry you. And when I returned home, she urged me to bring you home. She’s been longing
for us to recognize each other, for me to bring you home. She knew we recognized each other last night, and this
morning, she rushed back to Riverton with the whole family. I’m surprised she didn’t hire a few bands to celebrate,
she’s already very restrained.”
Cornelia got out of the car and said, “Granny is indeed very good to me. I felt it the first time I met her, and I really
like her too. I’m honored to have her as my grandmother.”
Marcus asked, “So you agreed to marry me because Granny is a good person?”
Cornelia asked, “What else?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore getting their marriage certificate, she had only met Granny Luisa. So of course, it was because Granny Luisa
left a good impression on her that she agreed to marry Jeremy.
She added, “Are you telling me that you married me because of who I am?”
Marcus didn’t answer. Indeed, she was right. He married her also because of Granny.
“Cornelia.” Briana Hartley’s crisp and pleasant voice came before she did.
Cornelia looked up to see her rushing toward her with a huge bouquet of roses.
Briana stuffed the fiery roses into Cornelia’s arms and hugged Cornelia and the flowers tightly, “Cornelia, welcome
home!”
