Stella and Cordelia were engrossed in a conversation in the living room when footsteps interrupted them. Stella, who had been wearing a smile, swiftly composed herself, her gaze turning chilly.

She turned to Cordelia and said, “Grandma, I’ve got some errands to run later. I better head off now.”

“Lunch is almost ready. I had them prepare some of your favorite dishes. You should grab a bite before you leave,” Cordelia tried to convince her to stay.

Stella declined politely, “Sorry, Grandma, but I have plans to meet some friends for lunch at half past twelve. I’m afraid I won’t make it on time if I stay any longer. It isn’t ideal for me to be late since we’re colleagues.”

Not wanting to insist, Cordelia relented, “Alright then. I’ll have Corrin pack your favorite dishes for you to take home.

You can enjoy them later.”

“You make it so hard to refuse, Grandma,” Stella sighed.

Pleased with Stella’s agreement, Cordelia grabbed her arm and said, “Come, let’s go to the kitchen. You can pick the dishes you want us to pack for you.”
