Chapter 1243
This incident might have happened decades ago, but for Grandpa Augustine, it felt like it was just yesterday. It was
still fresh in his mind.
“Man, I messed up.” Grandpa Augustine sighed fFd only thought sooner that Granny Rebecca might’ve changed her
name, I would’ve switched up my search tactics. Then maybe, just maybe, I would’ve found you guys sooner. And if
I’d found you sooner, then maybe Granny Rebecca wouldn’t have met a tragic fate.”
Cornelia tried to soothe him, “The murderer has faced the harsh hand of law and justice has been served Let’s put
it behind us and start afresh.”
“Yeah” Grandpa Augustine nodded, then added. “Nelly, I picked out a few potential suitors for you last night. Want
me to set up some dates?”

“Who said marriage is a bumpy ride? You just haven’t met the right guy yet, that’s why it’s been tough. Trust me,
the boys I’ve lined up for you are top-notch.” Grandpa Augustine said proudly
Cornelia laughed, “Grandpa Augustine, I’m not in the mood for dating right now. Can you hold off until I’m ready to
look for Mr. Right?”
Although Grandpa Augustine was pushy, Cornelia didn’t mind. Without Granny Rebecca hustling her to get hitched,
having Grandpa Augustine nudge her felt somewhat comforting.
He didn’t actually intend to force Cornelia into anything, he just wanted her to be happy, even without Marcus.
He believed that the best way for Cornelia to get over her failed marnage was to start a new romance
“No worries if you’re not ready to date. Just let me tell you about these guys, see if any of them tickles your fancy”
Augustine said.
“Alright, spill the beans. Cornelia agreed.
Patricia tried to keep a poker face, but she was trembling inside. Old Augustine better not find some perfect guy. If
Nelly fell for him, then there was no chance for Mare to win her back.
Cornelia agreed to hear him out, which made Grandpa Augustine elated, “One of them is the grandson of Alfredo’s
old colleague. He s 29, shares the same birthday as your but is four years alder. We’ve known him since he was a
kid. This guy comes from a good family, and is quite impressive. He’s a graduate from a prestigious university, and
is currently working in Alfredo’s old department. He might not be high up in the ranks yet, but with his family
background and talents, His future’s looking bright.”
Cornelia not only listened, but also asked questions, “Grandpa Augustine, why’s someone so great still single?!
Grandpa Augustine replied, “The boy’s picky hasn’t found the night girl yet. But I think he’s just been too busy with
work to have time for love.”

Cornelia laughed, ‘His parents must be worried sick ”
Grandpa Augustine said, “He’s nearly 30 and hasn’t had a girlfriend. Of course, his parents are anxious. I recently
heard that they’ve given up on pushing him to marry. They just hope he’ll have kids soon!
Cornelia responded, ‘Hmm, that doesn’t sound quite right.”
Grandpa Augustine explained, “They’re just saying it out of frustration, they wouldn’t actually expect him to do
that”
“When choosing a partner, it’s not just about the individual, but also considering the family. Otherwise, you might
face unexpected problems after marriage.” Comelia added cautiously
Grandpa Augustine potted out his phone and showed her a picture, Nelly, take a look at his picture. He’s more
handsome in person than in photos.”
Cornelia nodded, “He’s quite good looking.”
But compared to Marcus, he was a notch down.
Grandpa Augustine suggested, “Shall I set up a meeting then? You guys can have a chat, who knows, it might just
work out.”
