Chapter 1244
Cornelia and Grandpa Augustine had been yakking for quite some time, with her trying to keep the old man’s spirits
up. She had no intentions of finding another beau “Grandpa Augustine, this guy ain’t doing it for me.”
The man wasn’t Cornelia’s cup of tea, and Grandpa Augustine didn’t sweat it. He flipped to another photo, saying,
“What about this bloke? He’s from the Alexander family, the ones running a business in the Capital”
Cornelia leaned in for a gander. This bloke looked pretty dashing, not just a pretty face but also had a decent build
in the photo.
“Who’s this guy?” Cornelia asked.

hands of Cecil, but Jarvis is the only heir.
“I see” Comelia nodded knowingly, “So he doesn’t have to worry about someone else snatching away his
inheritance”
“This young chap doesn’t want to take over the family business. He’s not even thirty and he’s already built his own

“He may have been a big shot, but that’s history. He’s an ex-husband now Grandpa Augustine knew about Marcus’s
achievements and the two excellent men he introduced. But compared to Marcus, they still fell short.
Patricia was just stating facts, but it seemed to have rubbed Grandpa Augustine the wrong way Cornelia quickly
defused the situation, “Grandpa Augustine, I’ve got my hands full with work at the moment, so I don’t have time to
think about personal stuff. Let’s cook some pork pie for now I need to get back to work after”
“Alright, your work comes first. You do your thing, and I’ll handle the matchmaking Grandpa Augustine said.
Cornelia felt that being nanged to get hitched could be a blessing and a curse.
For the next few days, Cornelia didn’t hear a peep about Marcus. She was buried in her work, oblivious to what was
happening outside her world.

rights, her creative freedom took a hit Cornelia had to submit the complete draft within the agreed timeframe.
The first half of the content was about her and Marcus’s everyday life, which the readers found sweet and
heartwarming
If she were to draw the latter half based on reality, where the male lead suddenly changed his heart and the
female lead filed for divorce, leading to their separation, it would be a real sob story. The backlash from readers
would be enough to drown her.
Real life was already tough enough. Comelia didn’t want her comic characters to suffer like her So, Cornelia worked
her socks off creating unexperienced everyday life scenes and designed a rosy ending for the lead characters.
