Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 254

The next day, Cornelia was up early. She stuck by Granny Rebecca's side like glue when the doc was doing her regular check-up.

After the check-up, she grilled the doctor about all the nitty-gritty details. Only after she was certain Granny's health was holding up, did she let out a sigh of relief.

Granny Luisa kindly gave them some elbow room, leaving Granny Rebecca and Cornelia some alone time.

Once it was just the two of them, Granny Rebecca couldn't hold her questions anymore and steered the conversation to Jeremy, "Cornelia, you mentioned on the phone you're gonna start seeing Jeremy. Are you sure about this?"

Cornelia nodded, "Don't sweat it, Granny. It's not just some whimsical idea. I've given it a lot of thought."

Granny Rebecca always had faith in Cornelia's decisions, "Jeremy is a bit of an introvert. He's not the type to spout sweet nothings, but he's got this reliable vibe about him."

Cornelia nodded, "I feel the same way, Granny. Every time I think of him, I feel at ease."

Granny Rebecca ruffled Cornelia's hair, "That's good to hear. With him by your side, I can feel at ease."

To Granny Rebecca's generation, love wasn't the be-all and end-all. She believed that life together was about supporting each other. That sense of security a partner gave was the best things in a marriage.

After scarfing down brunch, Cornelia said her goodbyes to the grannies and set off back to Riverton.

Stepping out of the villa, she whipped out her phone and opened the ride-hailing app. Lo and behold, a Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up in front of her out of the blue. The window rolled down slowly, and Marcus' handsome face came into view.

Cornelia quickly primped her appearance and greeted him politely, "President Hartley, what brings you here?"

With him ignoring her, Cornelia looked around. The driver was focused on the road, not talking to her. So, she decided to follow Marcus' lead, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes.

Maybe it was the comfortable ride or the perfect temperature inside the car, Cornelia dozed off before she knew it. Marcus moved closer and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

The driver, caught a glimpse of this scene in the rearview mirror. He was taken aback and coughed a couple of times.

Marcus' expression turned stern. He raised the partition, blocking the driver's view.

Unseen, Marcus rubbed his face gently against hers. He hadn't shaved the night before, and his stubble was a bit rough. Cornelia felt a slight pain, and she sleepily opened her eyes, finding herself comfortably leaning against Marcus' shoulder.
