Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 381

Marcus didn't blurt out those words just to impress Cornelia.

He always thought that if you're gonna tie the knot, you’ve gotta treat your wife right and only fall for her.

Cornelia felt warm inside when she saw his message and quickly shot Jeremy a few words back, "I'll only have eyes for my husband!"

She didn't bother wondering why Jeremy knew how to make a girl happy or if he was out there trying to impress other girls. She just thought since Jeremy gave her a hint, she should reply, and that was just how it went between a husband and wife.

After sending out that message, Cornelia felt like she was being watched. It was a bit oppressive. She looked up and her gaze met Marcus'.

He was watching her, quiet as a mouse. His eyes under those glasses were like a deep abyss and she felt like she could be sucked in.

Cornelia tried to look away, but couldn't. Their eyes were tangled in mid-air.

She saw Marcus open his mouth as if to say something. But all that came out was a hoarse "Cornelia".

She'd heard him say her name many times, but this time, it had a different ring to it.

Cornelia guessed that he was calling his wife's name, but then he said in a low voice, "Cornelia, thank you."

He thanked her for believing in him.

He thanked her for responding to him.

It seemed to remind him of two years ago when his grandma faked an illness to force him to get married.

His grandma lay on the bed, clutching her chest weakly, "Marc, I'm getting old and won't be around much longer. My biggest wish is to see you get married and have kids."

He knew his grandma was faking it but didn't bust her, "Grandma, do you have anyone in mind?"

His grandma nodded repeatedly, "Yes, her name is Cornelia, the granddaughter of my old friend. She's clever and quite the looker.

The old woman pulled out a photo from under the blanket. It was a bit wrinkled from not being properly kept in the pocket. She smoothed it out, "Marc, have a look; isn't Nelly a beauty?"
