Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1180

Old Augustine originally had all the time in the world to make up for past regrets. However, life had a knack for messing with people. It was only after Silvia had completely left this world that Old Augustine found out that Silvia had been alive and that he had a granddaughter, Cornelia.

Tears once again slipped uncontrollably from Grandpa Augustine’s eyes, “Silvia, I heard your biggest worry before you left was our granddaughter, Nelly. Look at her now, she and her husband, Marcus, are head over heels for each other, and she’s living a happy life. Of course, I'll do my best to help her, not only to have a happy marriage but also to ensure she never has to worry about money."

The butler appeared out of nowhere and chimed in, "Mr. Augustine, I don't mean to criticize you, but I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't say this."

Grandpa Augustine responded, "Spit it out."

The butler said, "Miss Cornelia’s husband, Marcus, is the president of the Hartley Group. He's the richest man in the world. Miss Cornelia already has more than enough money. You really don't need to give her material things."

Grandpa Augustine said, "Do you get it? Marcus is her husband, and it's true that half the money he earns belongs to Nelly. But in other people's eyes, Nelly is just dependent on the Hartley family. The gifts I give to Nelly, that's the money that truly belongs to Nelly. No matter what happens in the future, she can do what she wants with confidence."

The butler said, "You're always thinking ahead."

Grandpa Augustine said, "Nelly is the precious treasure that Silvia left for me. I would love nothing more than to treat her like a princess. Of course, I have to think more carefully for her."

The butler fell silent. Many years passed, and Grandpa Augustine still couldn't forget. Perhaps only when he finally joined Silvia in heaven, would he be able to truly let go of his obsession.

......

When Cornelia woke up in the morning, she saw a message from Marcus. He told her that he was on his way to the capital and would probably arrive around four in the afternoon.

Time ticked by slowly, and at three in the afternoon, Cornelia heard the sound of a car outside. She rushed out of the yard and saw a tall figure just getting out of the car.

Even if she only saw the figure's back, Cornelia was sure that it was the man she had been missing. She ran towards him like the wind, "Jeremy!"

Hearing Cornelia's voice, Marcus turned around. Despite the distance between them, he had already opened his arms, ready to welcome her embrace.

Cornelia ran over quickly and jumped right into his arms. She tightly hugged his muscular waist, feeling his unique scent. However, his scent seemed to carry a hint of medicine this time, "Have you taken medicine?"

Marcus' illness couldn't be treated with common medicine. Therefore, Dr. Lester switched him to a special formulation. Before he left the hospital to see Cornelia, Marcus had taken a thorough shower and put on new clothes. He didn't smell any odd smell himself, but Cornelia's sensitive nose picked up the scent of medicine straight away.
