Chapter 1332
Cornelia said, “Grandpa, these gifts.”
To Grandpa Augustine, these gifts were peanuts, “Why don’t you hit the mall again tomorrow? You should get
yourself some new clothes.”
Cornelia responded, “Grandpa, you just had loads of clothes custom made for me not long ago, I haven’t even worn
them yet, I think I’ll pass on buying more. Keep these gifts for yourself. They gave me a lot today. I’ll definitely
return the favor later. We’re not close or anything, so maybe you could handle the returning part.”
Grandpa Augustine shot Comelia a displeased look, “You think I’m short of these trinkets? They’re gifts from elders,
just accept them graciously. I’ll handle the gift returning when the time comes, no need for you to worry.”
Cornelia said, “We’re not close or anything, getting such expensive gifts all of a sudden, it’s kinda unsettling.”

be unsettled about?”
With no other choice, Cornelia accepted, “Alright, I’ll just stash these gifts away, save them for my baby.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “I’ve already got all your baby’s needs covered. When she’s born, I’ll gift her a villa and a
few commercial properties. These little gifts of yours, you could buy them on a casual stroll. Don’t worry too much.”
Grandpa Augustine continued, “It’s getting late, better hit the sack.”
Comelia got up. “Alright.” She took a few steps, then turned around and said, “Grandpa, Goldie from next door had
her maid deliver loads of desserts recently. I haven’t returned the favor yet, and I’m thinking of paying her a visit
tomorrow.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Alright, I’ll have someone prep the gifts.”
Cornelia said, “Grandpa, Goldie is rolling in dough too. When it comes to gifts, it’s the thought that counts. She
made the desserts herself, I also want to make something meaningful for her.”
Grandpa Augustine gently patted Cornelia’s head, “Nelly, this is your home, do what you want. You don’t need my
permission. If you need craft materials, just have someone get them.”
Cornelia said, “Alright.”
Grandpa Augustine stressed, “Nelly, remember, you’re the lady of the house.”
Cornelia chuckled, “Grandpa, I got it.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Alright, hit the sack. Can’t be too late for your visit tomorrow.”
Back in her room, Cornelia didn’t sleep, but messaged Goldie instead: [Goldie, I wanna drop by tomorrow, you
free?]
After sending the message, Cornelia quickly got a reply from Goldie: [Of course. I’ve been home lately, feel free to
drop by.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia replied: [Alright, see you tomorrow.]
Goldie asked: [What do you wanna eat? I’ll have it prepared.]
Cornelia replied: [I’m not picky, anything’s fine.]
Goldie: [Alright, I’ll take care of it.]
Cornelia:, [Goldie, no need to be so polite.]
Goldie: [Alright, no need for formalities. What time are you coming?]
Cornelia: (Ten in the morning.]
Goldie: [Okay. I’ll be waiting.)
Cornelia: [Alright, Goldie, night!]
Goldie: [Night.]
After saying goodnight, Cornelia put away her phone and got ready for bed. Meanwhile, Jeremy was all excited, “Dr.
Lester, I’m not going out tomorrow.”
