“He left? Where about?” Cornelia asked nonchalantly, before tossing a smile at Grandpa Augustine, “Grandpa, you always remind me not to bring him up. Why are you mentioning him today?”
After a pause, Cornelia went on, “He and I are no longer legally married. We have nothing to do with each other. Wherever he goes, it’s none of my business.”
Grandpa Augustine wasn’t sure if Cornelia genuinely didn’t understand or was pretending not to understand the meaning.
He carefully observed her expression and pushed his phone towards Cornelia, “Nelly, take a look at the news on the phone,”
Cornelia didn’t look, nor did she reach out for the phone, “Grandpa, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first.”
It was clear from Cornelia’s behavior that she was running away from the truth, unwilling to face reality. Grandpa Augustine saw through her, which made him worry even more, “Nelly.”
Cornelia sat down at the dining table, cut a piece of roast meat, and took a bite, “Grandpa, the meat is delicious. Especially this pork chop, it’s soft and tender, just like the roast my grandma used to make. You should have a taste.”
Grandpa Augustine sat down with Cornelia, his gaze never leaving her, “Nelly, if you’re worried or upset, talk to me. Don’t keep it all bottled up.”
Cornelia took another bite of roasted mushroom, “Grandpa, the roasted mushrooms are also yummy. Come on, eat with me. I might finish everything if you don’t start eating
soon.”
Grandpa Augustine didn’t know what to do, so he picked up his utensils and began to eat with Cornelia, “Alright, I’ll join you.”
Cornelia quickly passed a piece of roast meat to Grandpa Augustine, “Grandpa, have a bite. This tastes just like the roast my grandma used to make. Especially this pork chop, it’s so flavorful and tender, not everyone can cook it like this.”
Grandpa Augustine had a bite of the pork chop, but he couldn’t taste anything at this moment, “I had your grandma’s roast many years ago, but it’s been too long. I only remember it was delicious, but I can’t recall the exact taste.”
Cornelia passed another dish to Grandpa Augustine, “This is the taste of my grandma’s roast. Grandpa, have some more.”
Grandpa Augustine also passed a dish to Cornelia, reminding her, “Nelly, no matter what happens, remember you’re not alone. You have a baby coming out.”
“I know, I’m not alone. I have the baby, you, Abby and Zack. I’ve never been alone.” Cornelia murmured, as if constantly reminding herself.
She then started eating heartily, taking big bites of meat and vegetables.
Many people lost their appetite during pregnancy, but Cornelia was the opposite. Her appetite improved after she became pregnant, and she visibly put on weight.
After finishing her meal, Cornelia put down her knife and fork, rested her hand on her belly and gently rubbed it, “Grandpa, my baby is over three months old now.”
“Yes, over three months, the baby has formed.” Grandpa Augustine replied.
“Grandpa, do you prefer a boy or a girl?” Cornelia asked.
“No matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s your child,
“I hope it’s a boy.” Cornelia said.
“Why is that?” Grandpa Augustine asked.
love them.” Grandpa Augustine answered.
Cornelia smiled and replied, “People say girls look like their fathers, and boys look like their mothers. I want a child who looks like me.”
“We can’t be sure about that. It depends on whose genes are stronger. Look at my brother’s sons, each of them looks just like their father. If you have a boy, he might look just like Marcus.” Grandpa Augustine said.
During the conversation, he mentioned Marcus again. Grandpa Augustine looked at Cornelia with concern.
