Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126

Cornelia clammed up.

Marcus suddenly grabbed Cornelia's chin, forcing her to look at him, "Do you think I'm scary?"

Cornelia shook her head, "No."

Marcus lowered his head to kiss her, "Liar!"

"| didn't lie" Cornelia buried her head in his chest and stayed there quietly for a while, "Il want to go back to Riverton. | don't want to stay here anymore.’

Marcus asked, "Are you unhappy now that you found out Grandpa Augustine is your real grandfather?"

Cornelia replied, "I'm not unhappy. | just can't describe how | feel."

Marcus said, "Cornelia, the suffering your grandmother went through was indeed caused by Grandpa Augustine, but that wasn't his intention. You should know that about Granny Rebecca, Grandpa Augustine feels guiltier than anyone else. This guilt and remorse have lasted for decades, not just a few days or years.’

Cornelia interrupted him, "So what?"

Marcus said, "Nothing, | just hope you think carefully and don't do anything you'll regret. Grandpa Augustine is old and doesnt have many years left."

Cornelia said sullenly, "| know- She had just found a family member, but now she had to face the pain of losing him. Cornelia would rather not know him.

Marcus gently patted Cornelia's back, saying soothingly, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Cornelia said, "| have things on my mind. | can't sleep. Only Alfredo, you and | know that Grandpa Augustine is my real grandfather. We can't let a fourth person know, especially Grandpa Augustine. You have to help me keep this secret."

Knowing that Emily meant no harm to Cornelia, Marcus didn't correct her any further, "Alright, he's just a four-year-old.’

Cornelia said, "What's with that attitude?”

Marcus asked, "This isn't good enough? How do you want me to say it?”

Cornelia embraced his neck and said, "As long as you tell me to be careful, I'll be careful. I'll listen to you. No matter what, the person | trust the most is always you."

This made Marcus very happy, but also a bit worried, "Cornelia, remember, besides yourself, you can't fully trust anyone in this world.’

Cornelia asked, "What are you getting at?"

Marcus said, "I'm just saying, that's how people are.’
