Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1355

Chapter 1355

Before Grandpa Augustine could get a word in, Cornelia continued, "Grandpa Augustine, after I wrap up this job, I'm heading back to Riverton."

Hearing this, Grandpa Augustine got all jittery, "Nelly, are you mad at me?"

"No, Grandpa Augustine, I'm not mad at you. Abby, Zack and I agreed that since we started the studio together, I can't just keep splitting the profits without having a hand in running the place. You get me, right?"

“Yeah, you're right. But..." Grandpa Augustine wanted to say something.

Cornelia cut him off before he could finish. She looked at the statue and prayed, "Granny Rebecca, I've been doing good, living by your teachings. Hope will be born soon, and when Christmas comes, I'll bring her to Rosenberg to see you."

With that, she stood up, "Grandpa Augustine, I'm off to bed. You should call it a night too."

“I'll walk you to your room." Grandpa Augustine offered.

"No need. I know you want to chat with Granny Rebecca a bit more. Take your time.’ Cornelia said.

Grandpa Augustine watched Cornelia with concern as he rose with her.

Cornelia gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm really okay, don't worry about me."

Feeling helpless, Grandpa Augustine could only watch as Cornelia left. Once Cornelia was gone, Grandpa Augustine turned to the butler, "You think Nelly's really okay?"

The butler replied, "Yes"

As for Riverton, where she went to college and bought a house when she got married, it was a place where she thought she could settle down.

Now, it didn't seem like home to her.

Home? What was home, exactly?

Once, a man told her that he'd lived many places, but only where she was felt like home. That man, however, had coldly pushed her out of his life, excluding her completely.

Cornelia knew there were great differences between her and Marcus, and a huge gap in their statuses. He could find out everything about her with just a little effort. But if he didn't want to tell her anything about himself, she wouldn't be able to find out.

This information imbalance was all due to the difference in status and power between them. Like last night, she knew that everyone was lying to her, and that he was in that villa. But as long as he didn't want to see her, even though they were so close, she couldn't see him.
