Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 812

Granny Luisa was like, "This kid is sharp. Whatever he does, he nails it the first time. Take kissing for example, he’s got no experience, but he kisses like he does."

Granny Rebecca teased, "Did he practice with someone else before?"

Granny Luisa was quick to defend, "No way! I swear, there's been no woman in Marc's life other than Nelly."

Granny Rebecca backed off, "I was just messing around. Don't get mad."

Granny Luisa responded, "Some things you can joke about, but not this."

Granny Rebecca agreed, "Alright, I won’t joke about it anymore."

...

In the car, Cornelia sneezed several times. She suspected that the grannies must be gossiping about her again.

Seeing this, the driver immediately turned up the heat, "Mrs. Hartley, let me know if you're still cold."

"John, just call me by my name, no need to be so formal." John, the old lady's personal driver, had been driving for her for over twenty years. He was in his fifties and considered a family member. Cornelia respected him like an elder.

"We should stick to the rules." John glanced at Cornelia from the rearview mirror and said, "Hold tight, we're about to hit the freeway."

"Alright." Cornelia replied.

Briana and a few girls her age were crouched on the ground, all looking bewildered.

"Bri." Cornelia walked over and softly called out to Briana crouching on the ground, "What happened?"

"Cornelia?" Briana probably didn't expect Cornelia to show up. Seeing her, she immediately stood up, ran into Cornelia's arms and hugged her tightly, "Cornelia, I'm scared."

Cornelia gently patted Briana's back, comforting her with a soft voice, "Bri, it's okay, everything will be fine. I'm here, I'll protect you, you can tell me anything."

Briana wiped away her tears, "Our exhibition comics and collectibles vanished overnight, as if they disappeared into thin air. The CCTV didn’t capture anything. The cops were here, but they said there’s no sign of human intervention, as if everything just disappeared on its own."

Cornelia asked, "Do you really believe such magic could happen in this world?"
