Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175 

Abigail popped the question, Zack, what’s got you strutting around like a peacock?” 

Zack shot back, Marcus is just a Joe Schmo, he can’t always be the head honcho. Maybe one day we’ll get a leg up on him.” 

Abigail scoffed, Are you still in La La Land? To outdo the Hartley Group, we’ve gotta hustle like there’s no tomorrow, and even then it’s a long shot.” 

Just when they were about to get into a spat, Cornelia jumped in to mediate, “Whether we can beat them or not is beside the point. What matters is this afternoon. The big cheese from Foriver Entertainment is hightailing it to Riverton, probably scared someone else will beat them to the punch. I bet they want to ink a deal today. Remember to take a lawyer when you go to negotiate” 

Zack asked, Alright, you got any special requests?” 

Cornelia replied, I have a lot of faith in Foriver Entertainment. Even if their offer is a bit short, I’m game to sign with them.” 

Zack and Abigail understood where Cornelia was coming from. Her comic was her labor of love, her baby. As parents, they naturally wanted to find the best home for their baby. Whoever Cornelia signed the comic rights over to, essentially that’s the home she picked for her baby

Zack and Abigail chimed in, We’re on the same page.” 

Cornelia knew they had her best interests at heart, I love you guys!” 

Zack quipped, Love me? Then how can you stand to hurt me?” 

Cornelia was puzzled, What did I do to hurt you?” 

Zack said, We didn’t finish talking about last night.” 

What? Zack, what are youHello? What’s up with the signal?Cornelia babbled on, moving the phone away and then hung up the video call

Zack sent a message in their group chat: [Cornelia, we’re done!

Cornelia ignored it and rolled out of bed to freshen up and head downstairs

Just like yesterday, Grandpa Augustine was pacing at the staircase, glancing upstairs from time to time, clearly waiting for Cornelia

He was an early bird, but Cornelia overslept today. He must’ve been waiting for a while. Cornelia felt guilty, Grandpa Augustine, have you been waiting here for me? I stayed up late last night and slept in. You don’t need to wait for me, just go about your day” 

Grandpa Augustine reassured her, I’m getting on in years, and besides morning exercise, I don’t have much else to do. Waiting for you is a little pleasure of mine, don’t sweat it.” 

Cornelia nodded but decided to not sleep in again. She didn’t want to keep Grandpa Augustine waiting

Grandpa Augustine suggested, You must be hungry. Let’s go have breakfast.” 

Cornelia agreed, Sure.” 

Breakfast was a spread as usual, with everything and anything Cornelia could want to eat. She didn’t eat much yesterday, so today she felt famished and opted for a big bowl of beef stew
