Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180 

Old Augustine originally had all the time in the world to make up for past regrets. However, life had a knack for messing with people. It was only after Silvia had completely left this world that Old Augustine found out that Silvia had been alive and that he had a granddaughter, Cornelial 

Tears once again slipped uncontrollably from Grandpa Augustine’s eyes, “Silvia, I heard your biggest worry before you left was our granddaughter, Nelly. Look at her now, she and her husband, Marcus, are head over heels for each other, and she’s living a happy life. Of course, I’ll do my best to help her, not only to have a happy marriage but also to ensure she never has to worry about money.” 

The butler appeared out of nowhere and chimed in, “Mr. Augustine, I don’t mean to criticize you, but I would feel uncomfortable if I didn’t say this. 

Grandpa Augustine responded, “Spit it out.” 

The butler said, “Miss Cornelia’s husband, Marcus, is the president of the Hartley Group. He’s the richest man in the world. Miss Cornelia already has more than enough money. You really don’t need to give her material things.” 

Grandpa Augustine said, “Do you get it? Marcus is her husband, and it’s true that half the money he earns belongs to Nelly. But in other people’s eyes, Nelly is just dependent on the Hartley family. The gifts I give to Nelly, that’s the money that truly belongs to Nelly. No matter what happens in the future. she can do what she wants with confidence.” 

The butler said, “You’re always thinking ahead.” 

Grandpa Augustine said, “Nelly is the precious treasure that Silvia left for me. I would love nothing more than to treat her like a princess. Of course, I have to think more carefully for her.” 

The butler fell silent. Many years passed, and Grandpa Augustine still couldn’t forget. Perhaps only when he finally joined Silvia in heaven, would he be able to truly let go of his obsession. 

When Cornelia woke up in the morning, she saw a message from Marcus. He told her that he was on his way to the capital and would probably arrive around four in the afternoon. 

Scared that she was dreaming, Cornelia quickly got up, washed her face with cold water, picked up her phone again, and confirmed that Marcus was indeed coming back in the afternoon. 

The hours of waiting felt like forever to Cornelia. Because her mind was all on Marcus, she was distracted while playing chess with Grandpa Augustine in the morning, constantly looking outside. 

Grandpa Augustine teased her, “You little girl, you’re not focused at all today.” 

Cornelia glanced at her watch again, “Time is dragging today. I’ve been playing chess with you for so long, and it’s still not noon?” 

Grandpa Augustine said, “Stop thinking about Marcus, settle down and play chess, and time will fly by.” 

Cornelia tried her best to calm down and focus on playing chess with Grandpa Augustine. She tried not to think about Marcus, but she couldn’t control her thoughts.
