Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1392

In the afternoon, Cornelia was hanging out with her friends, but Jeremy was nowhere to be seen. Patricia explained that he was taking a nap, so Cornelia didn't doubt Jeremy's absence. She bent down, lifting up her shirt to nurse Hope. Jeremy, standing by, said, "Hope refusing formula and only breastfeeding isn't the best. I've sent someone to find a wet nurse, and she should be here soon. That'll take a load off your shoulders."
Cornelia responded, "Both the doctor and Patricia told me my breastmilk is enough for Hope. There's no need to go through all that trouble."
Not only was her breastmilk enough, it was more than enough. Jeremy, of course, knew this. But that wasn't all he was concerned about.
If Hope was only breastfeeding, then whenever he got hungry, Cornelia would have to feed him, which was exhausting. If he could find a wet nurse for Hope, she could help with the feeding, giving Cornelia some much needed rest.
He ruffled Cornelia's hair, saying, "I'll handle it. We won't let Hope go hungry."
How could she refuse such a thoughtful gesture? So she said, "Alright, go ahead. If you can't find one, it's no big deal. We have enough breastmilk for Hope anyway."
Jeremy nodded, "Okay."
And with that, their conversation came to a halt.
Since their reunion, the two hadn't had much time to chat. Cornelia wanted to talk to him more, so she started looking for a topic, "Do you want to have a late-night snack? I'm hungry and I feel like having something. Are you up for it?"
"I'll have something sent over right away." Jeremy immediately went to get some food. By the time he came back, Cornelia was done nursing Hope.
Hope was a well-behaved baby, falling asleep right after her feeding, his chubby face glowing, absolutely adorable.
Jeremy asked, "Is Hope asleep?"
Cornelia nodded, "Come take a look. Hasn't our Hope grown a lot since he was born?"
Jeremy leaned in to take a closer look, "Hmm, he does seem to have grown."
Cornelia asked, "Do you want Hope to look like you or me?"
Jeremy countered with, "What about you?"
Cornelia said, "I asked you first."
Jeremy replied, "I hope Hope looks like me. Then we can have a daughter who looks like you, even prettier."
Cornelia asked, "Do you think I'm pretty?"
Jeremy replied, "In my eyes, you're the prettiest girl in the world."
Cornelia had received many compliments growing up, but often, she felt they were just flattery. This time, however, she was genuinely happy, and she said, "I think the same way about you too."
Jeremy leaned in, gently touching her forehead, "What is it?"
Cornelia said, "In my eyes, you're the most handsome man in the world."
Hearing this, Jeremy chuckled, a rare blush spreading across his face, "Hmm, I see."
He smiled, "I've asked them to prepare some light dishes, they might not be your usual taste. It's a critical time for your recovery, and you can't have anything too heavy. It might make you feel uncomfortable. Once you're feeling better, I'll eat whatever you want with you."
He was usually not much of a talker, but for her, he'd said so much. Hearing all this, Cornelia felt incredibly touched, "Jeremy..."
Jeremy, busy preparing the food, looked up, catching her intense gaze, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Cornelia said, "Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"
