Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034
Mr. Augustine murmured, “If society wasn’t so da mn hard on women, my family wouldn’t have…”
If those rumors and misunderstandings hadn’t occurred, they wouldn’t have…
But at the end of the day, the one who should really take the blame was him. If he had been by their side, they wouldn’t have chosen that path of despair. Reminiscing, Mr. Augustine’s eyes filled with a misty fog, as if he had aged years in seconds.
Old Mr. Abner understood him and swiftly changed the subject, “Cornelia, tell us, is Marc good to you?”
“He’s really great to me.” Cornelia looked up at Marcus, continuing, “I think Marc treats me so well because of your influence.”
Hearing this, both old men beamed with pride, chiming in unison, “Of course, we’ve taught him since he was a kid. A man can lack achievements, but he can never treat his wife poorly. A good life belongs only to a man who treats his wife well.”
Cornelia commented, “That’s a wise saying.”
Mr. Augustine added, “Marc, Cornelia is a catch. You must never let her down.”
Marcus assured, “I would never let her down.”
Mr. Augustine squinted his eyes, warning sternly, “If you dare let her down, I’ll make sure you pay the price.”
Despite helping many, Mr. Augustine was a bit of a loner, rarely engaging in chit chat. Marcus, having known him for nearly two decades, had never seen him show such care for anyone.
Marcus couldn’t help but give Mr. Augustine a second look, “Cornelia is my wife.”
Mr. Augustine retorted, “And what if she is? People get divorced all the time.”
Hearing this, Marcus’ expression turned serious.
Old Mr. Abner, knowing Mr. Augustine had hit a nerve, lightened the mood, “I’ve known him for years and I’ve never seen him care so much for a youngster. He must really like Cornelia. Of course, it’s because Cornelia is so likable.”
“Thank you for liking me, I really like you guys too.” Cornelia wasn’t sure why they liked her, but she genuinely liked them.
The two old men were on a pedestal she could only dream of reaching, but they felt just like any ordinary elderly couple, very warm and friendly.
Old Mr. Abner continued, “Since meeting you last time in the Capital, I’ve been wanting to see you again. I’ve mentioned to Marc a few times to bring you to the Capital, but work always got in the way. Unable to invite you guys over, we just had to come to Riverton.”
Cornelia was surprised, “Did you come to Riverton just to see me?”
Old Mr. Abner replied, “What else? You think Marc is worth us coming all the way here to see?”
Comelia countered, “Marc is actually quite impressive.”
Old Mr. Abner agreed, “Marc is not only impressive, he is outstanding.”
Out of the blue, Mr. Augustine interjected, “I suddenly feel like Marc doesn’t deserve Nelly.”
