Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1116

Grandpa Duran noticed that Cornelia was a bit worn out, "Nelly, hang in there a little longer, there are just four more people for you to meet. After that, I'll have Marc take you to get some rest."

Cornelia replied, "Grandpa Duran, I'm good."

Gently patting her head, Grandpa Duran said, "Marc told me that you always put on a brave face, never admitting when you're tired. I didn't quite believe it before, but I see it now."

Cornelia retorted, "I'm not just putting on a brave face, I just don't want to give up halfway when it's something I can finish if I just stick it out."

Grandpa Duran responded, "Isn't that the same as putting on a brave face? You can lean on me in the future, don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you're tired and don't want to work, then we don't work. I'll give you money, and you can go wherever you want, as long as you're happy."

Laughingly, Cornelia said, "Grandpa Duran, does this mean I'm going to be a rich man's granddaughter?"

Grandpa Duran replied, "You little rascal, I'm trying to have a serious talk and you're cracking jokes."

Cornelia hugged Grandpa Duran, "Grandpa Duran, I really appreciate you so much! Thank you for being so kind to me and treating me like your own child! I actually enjoy working, it makes me feel fulfilled. If I had to sit at home doing nothing all day, I honestly wouldn't know what to do."

Grandpa Duran stated, "Your choice is what matters most. I just want you to know, whenever you need, there's a way out and I'll be there to support you."

His words resonated deeply within Cornelia; she could feel his sincerity. The more she felt his kindness and importance towards her, the more guilty she felt, worrying that she might never be able to repay his kindness in her lifetime.

Grandpa Duran stepped forward, pinching his cheek, "Little guy, what if your niece wasn't pretty, would you be unhappy then? Who taught you to judge people by their looks?"

"What does judging people by their looks mean?" The little boy asked.

Grandpa Duran burst out laughing, "I almost forgot, we have a little illiterate in our family."

The little boy didn't understand what "illiterate" meant, but he could sense it wasn't a compliment, "Uncle, can you introduce me to her?"

"Sure, sure." Grandpa Duran nodded repeatedly, then began introducing them to Cornelia, "Nelly, these three older ones are triplets, the oldest is Brian, the second is Wyatt, and the third is Alex. The little one here is Emilio, but we all call him Emily."
