Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1018

Abigail said, "Your hubby's around. I better not go in. I gotta keep a decent distance."

Cornelia asked, "Didn't you used to enjoy his company? Why the sudden change of heart?"

Abigail replied, "My boyfriend gets ridiculously jealous. Just yesterday when he was leaving Rosenberg he told me to keep my eyes off other guys."

Cornelia asked, "What's wrong with looking at other guys? Just because you're seeing someone doesn't mean you're blind."

Abigail said, "I agree, but he said it makes him jealous, and he had a point. If I've decided to marry him, I should respect his feelings and keep my contact with other guys to a minimum."

Cornelia said, "Abby, this sounds a bit off..."

Abigail cut her off, "Enough about that, I gotta go. Hit me up if you need something."

Cornelia watched Abigail leave, and as she withdrew her gaze, she caught Tahlia's.

Cornelia rubbed her head and asked, "What's up, Tahlia?"

Tahlia wrapped her arms around Cornelia and started sobbing, "Cornelia..."

Cornelia asked, "What's wrong, why are you crying?"

Tahlia said, "I couldn't reach you earlier and I was scared. I was afraid I couldn't find you, afraid of losing you..."

Cornelia gently patted her back and said, "That won't happen. We'll always be together. Marcus is here too, go say hi and then we can sort through our grandma's stuff."

Tahlia said, "Alright, I'll take your word for it." She took Cornelia's kindness to heart.

She also made a silent vow to work hard, earn money, and become stronger so she could protect Cornelia.

...

Granny Rebecca didn't leave much behind, hardly anything of value. Cornelia had some savings and bought Granny Rebecca a fridge worth over a thousand dollars. But after they moved to Riverton, the fridge was sold by Robison and his wife.

The most abundant things left were books, most of which were textbooks from Granny Rebecca's teaching days, each annotated meticulously by her. As Cornelia was sorting through the books, she came across a notebook wrapped in old newspaper.

Opening the cover, she saw Granny Rebecca's handwriting. She kept flipping the pages, and when she saw the contents of the second page, her mind went blank.
