Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 333

Cornelia responded quickly, "Sure, you can get a hug when we meet."

Marcus was stumped by her reply. There was no way Cornelia would let him hold her, as Marcus. As for when he could face her as Jeremy, he had no idea how long that would take. He didn't know how long he'd have to wait for that hug, maybe a month, a year, or even longer.

Yet, he didn't want to wait another second. He yearned to hold her close, right this minute.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing, "Cornelia, I want to hug you now."

Cornelia immediately replied with several hug emojis.

Marcus replied, "I want a real hug. Not these."

Cornelia retorted, "We're miles apart, how can you hug me?"

Marcus said, "Indeed, we can't now. But remember, Cornelia, you owe me a hug. I'll demand double when we meet." Marcus stood at the kitchen entrance, silently watching Cornelia's retreating figure.

He was just two steps away from holding the girl he longed for. Yet, he couldn't muster the courage to take those steps. All he could do was watch her, helplessly.

Cornelia texted back, "I'll remember."

Before Marcus could reply, Cornelia sent a long message, "Jeremy, I'm your wife, the one who will spend the rest of her life with you. Let's not dwell on the past. I hope that whatever happens in the future, I'm the first one you think about. We'll face everything together."

Marcus knew, just by reading her words that Briana must have told her something. Otherwise, Cornelia wouldn't keep emphasizing their marital status tonight.

Was he facing some kind of trouble?

She wished she could help but was powerless from miles away.

Seeing Cornelia glued to her phone, Briana approached her, "Cornelia, who are you chatting with?"

"Jeremy." Jeremy had never discussed his family issues with Cornelia. She guessed it wasn't because he forgot, but because he didn't want to. Most people believed family troubles should be dealt with at home.

Another possibility was that Jeremy didn't mention his parents not because he was embarrassed, but because he didn't want anyone to pity him because of his family background.
