Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 702

Briana said, "Take another guess."

Cornelia took a feel but still couldn't figure it out, "Can I take a peek?"

Briana said, "Sure, have a look."

Cornelia opened her eyes to see something shaped like a globe, "Is this a globe?"

Briana said, "It's made to resemble a globe, but what's on the surface is totally different. Take a closer look at what's on it."

Lifting the small sphere to her eyes, Cornelia scrutinized it for a while, "Is this a jade carving? With two people carved inside?"

It looked like jade but didn't feel like it. Briana said, "I can't be sure what it is, but they say whoever owns this little gem will be forever in love with their partner, till their hair turns gray. I want you and my brother to be together forever, so I'm giving it to you as a wedding gift."

Cornelia said, "That's a really nice thought, I'll take it." She didn't refuse, graciously accepting the gift from her sister-in-law.

Briana said, "Keep it safe. Let's go find Granny, or she'll give me hell for hogging all your time when you should be chatting with her."

The gadget wasn't big, but it was inconvenient to carry, so Cornelia returned it to Marcus' room before heading downstairs with Briana.

Walking side by side with Briana, Cornelia suddenly thought of something, "Have you been in touch with Natalia recently?"

Briana expressed her thoughts with an air of indifference, but a closer look at her eyes revealed her underlying worries.

She cared deeply about the parents who abandoned her and her brother. She cared about why they were so close to their other children, and she cared about why they ignored her and her brother.

At a loss for what to say, Cornelia tried to comfort the disheartened Briana, "Bri, your brother is like your father, and if you want, I can take care of you as a mother would."

This brought a smile to Briana's face, "Cornelia, you're not even two years older than me, how can you be talking about being my elder? I won't let you take advantage of me."

"None of you are elders. The real elders are downstairs." Granny Luisa called from the bottom of the stairs, "Bri, stop messing around with Cornelia on the stairs. If you so much as harm a hair on her head, I'll have words with you."
