Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1139

Grandpa Augustine turned to Alfredo, looking all serious, "Nelly and I are thick as thieves, I love her. The moment I decided to consider her my granddaughter, I vowed to treat her like my own blood. I don't want you to do anything that might hurt people around me for my sake."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind, won't do anything to piss you off." Alfredo raised his glass, clinking it with Grandpa Augustine's once more.

Putting down his glass, he looked again at the photo, "She was a real looker in her youth."

Grandpa Augustine took a couple of swigs, also staring at the photo, "Though her beauty is frozen in her youth, I believe she must have aged gracefully."

Alfredo replied, "She was indeed beautiful. Even with a face full of wrinkles, she's still all wisdom and elegance."

"I've never seen a girl more beautiful than her." Grandpa Augustine suddenly caught on, "Wait, what did you just say?"

Alfredo replied, "I thought you had moved on, but it seems you can't let go. In that case, I'll tell you the truth."

Alfredo replied, "I told you, she thought you had abandoned her and the child. How could she possibly come to find you? And back then, communication was not as developed as it was now. It could take ages for a letter to reach the recipient."

Grandpa Augustine replied, "So, she wanted to punish me. Only when she truly left this world and I could no longer see her, did our granddaughter come to me. I got to see our granddaughter, but I can never see her and our son again."

Grandpa Augustine knew that Cornelia's grandmother had just passed away, and that Cornelia's father died in a car accident when she was little. Knowing all this, he was in immense pain.
