Chapter 978
Leonardo said, “Granny Luisa, don’t let her pull the wool over your eyes. This girl is as sly as a fox”
Granny Luisa replied. “The Hartley family’s fortune is so massive, it needs both Nelly and Marc to manage. It’s a
good thing that Nelly is sharp.”
Leonardo asked, “So in your eyes, she can do no wrong?”
Granny Luisa nodded, “Yes”
Leonardo was speechless.
Cornelia said, “Can you two stop pretending to argue? It’s insulting our intelligence”
Leonardo said, “We are really arguing, not pretending.”

Leonardo said, “Patricia, even you are picking on me now.”
Patricia smiled and said, “I’m not laughing at you; it’s just nice to see you young folks gathered around, making the
house lively.”
Patricia had been working for the Hartley family for many years. Most of the time, she was alone in Marcus‘
mansion, with no one to talk to. It was rare to see such a lively day.
Ever since Marcus met Cornelia, the house had been filled with laughter. It was a scene she couldn’t have imagined
before. But now, it had become a reality.
How wonderful!
Everyone finished their meal amidst laughter.
After dinner, everyone went their separate ways home. Only Cornelia, Marcus and Tahlia were left in the house.
Tahlia felt a bit awkward around Marcus, so she said goodnight to Cornelia and Marcus and then hid in her room,
not coming out again.
Cornelia knew what Tahlia was thinking, and after cleaning up, she went to Tahlia’s room and said, “Tahlia.”
Tahlia answered, “What’s up?”
Cornelia ruffled her hair and said, “Are you feeling a bit awkward with Marcus?”
Tahlia said, “Not just a bit awkward. I’m also a bit scared.
Marcus naturally had a strong aura. Even if he didn’t do anything, he could still give people a sense of pressure.
Cornelia had been there. These were all things she had experienced when she first started working for Marcus,
“Once you get to know him better, and realize he’s a good person, and you won’t be afraid of him anymore. Now,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’m going to go for a walk with him, do you want to come along?”
Having a man in the house was certainly inconvenient for a girl like Tahlia, so Cornelia wanted to go for a walk with
Marcus to give Tahlia some privacy to bathe.
Tahlia wouldn’t want to disturb them, “You guys go ahead. I’m planning to take a shower and go to bed early, so I
can meet my grandparents and father in my best condition tomorrow. I’ve never met them before,”
Cornelia said, “Alright.”
Lakeview Estates was a high–end residential area, with a high greenery rate and a beautiful environment, much
better than the neighborhood where Cornelia used to rent.
Walking in the neighborhood, feeling the evening breeze and smelling the flowers, Cornelia’s fatigue from the past
few days disappeared.
Despite the hot weather, Marcus still held her hand tightly, not wanting to let go for a moment, “Do you like this
place a lot?”
