Brian said, “Go ahead, we’ll hold the fort.”
Emily said. “I haven’t had my breakfast”
The three brothers asked, “No breakfast? Where did that ham sandwich you just had go?”
Emily responded, “I just didn’t eat.”
Cornelia got the hint and decided to join him for breakfast. She picked him up and started towards the restaurant but quickly got tired, “Do you know how heavy you are?”
Emily said, 1 weigh fifty pounds.”
Cornelia said, “No wonder I can barely lift you.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “Nelly, put him down. Let him walk. His brothers spoil him, carrying him around everywhere. If this continues, he’ll forget how to walk altogether”
Emily said, “I won’t.”
Cornelia said, “It’s okay, I can carry you to the restaurant.”
Emily asked, “Nelly, I heard you got hitched. Are you gonna have a kid soon?”
Cornelia was taken aback, then chuckled, “Yes, I hope to have a smart cookie like you.”
Emily said, “Well, fingers crossed!”
Cornelia said, “You’re such a little guy, how are you so articulate?”
Emily said, “Because I’m just that smart.”
Cornelia couldn’t help but laugh at his cuteness. She wondered if she and Marcus had a boy, would he be this adorable and lovable?
Thinking about Marcus, Cornelia’s mood took a nosedive. When would he call her?
Emily asked, “Nelly, why the long face all of a sudden?”
Cornelia said, “It’s nothing.”
Emily said, “You can’t fool me.”
Cornelia was speechless. He was really smart. Even at such a young age, he could read people’s emotions.
Meanwhile, in the living room, the Duran brothers were in a huddle.
Alexa said, “Looks like Augustine has figured out Cornelia is his granddaughter.”
Brian said, “I knew Alfredo wouldn’t keep it from Augustine. Augustine is his favorite, and Augustine adores our father.”
Wyatt said, “I wonder why Emily is so smitten with that girl?”
Brian said, “I’m curious too.”
Alexa said, “She’s pretty, has a nice voice, and is one of the few girls in the Duran family. It would be weird if he didn’t like her.”
Wyatt asked, “Do you like her too?”
Alexa said, “Absolutely! She’s the sister of my dreams.”
Wyatt asked, “What about you, Brian?”
Brian lifted his head proudly. “Do you think I only care about looks? | value a person’s character more.”
Wyatt asked, “So, you don’t like her?”
Brian said, “It’s not that I don’t like her, I just want to observe her a bit more. Although she’s a Duran, she was raised outside of the family. I don’t know if she has picked up any bad habits.”
Alexa said, “So, you want to use today’s outing as a chance to see what kind of person she really is?”
