Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1464

Seeing how well Cornelia and Jeremy got along, Steven finally realized he was the real numbskull who couldn't handle a marriage.
Jeremy's answer was both simple and infuriating. "I don't know your ex. You'd know better how to deal with her."
Steven shot back, "I shouldn't have asked for your advice. Now that you've got a wife and kid, you don't care about me anymore, do you?"
Among the four of them, Lucas was the first one to get hitched, followed by him and Zavier. Jeremy was the last one to tie the knot, years after the rest of them. To their surprise, Jeremy, the last one to get married, was the first one to have a kid. Steven couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
Jeremy said, "I'm not trying to piss you off. I just think everyone's different. What works for Cornelia and me might not work for you and your ex."
Steven shot back, "Stop calling her my ex, she's my wife."
Man, what a headache. Jeremy snickered but didn't argue about the title. "There's one thing you should get," he said.
"What's that?" Steven asked, eager to hear.
Jeremy said, "First off, you gotta be sure you love her, and make sure she knows it."
Steven fell silent. He did love Hannah but he'd never done anything to make her feel his love. In the past, the things he'd done to her were downright devilish.
Jeremy said, "When it comes to love, there's no one-size-fits-all. What matters is sincerity. And making sure she knows your true feelings."
Steven said, "No matter what I say now, she won't believe me."
Jeremy said, "Then you gotta find out why she doesn't trust you and fix it from the root."
Steven said, "I'll give it a try."
Jeremy said, "Alright, I'm off then."
Hearing this, Steven flared up, "You've been here less than half an hour and you're leaving?"
Jeremy explained, "Cornelia and I are out, so Hope is with Patricia and my grandma. The kid wakes up and wants his milk. He'll cry if we're not there."
Steven said, "You're not only whipped by your wife, but you’re also a full-time Dad now. You're a bigshot CEO, so why would you want to be a regular Joe wrapped around his wife and kid's fingers?"
Jeremy said, "Once you get it, you'll win your wife back. Right now, I feel more accomplished taking care of my wife and kid than growing my company."
Steven said, "Just go. I don't wanna see you for a while."
Despite his harsh words, Jeremy really did leave. Steven had a few drinks by himself, but it was no fun, so he had his driver take him to the hospital.
It was late at night by then. The lights in Hannah's room were off. It seemed like Rick must have sent the Ableson family's parents off to rest.
Steven quietly walked over, planning to sit by Hannah's bed, only to find that Hannah's parents were still there. They were watching over her as she slept, their eyes full of concern. It was heart-wrenching.
Steven softly asked, "Why haven't you gone to rest?"
Hannah's parents both turned and shushed him at the same time. Steven immediately shut up.
Jeo stood up, signaling for Steven to follow him outside. Once they were out of the room, Jeo carefully closed Hannah's door, making sure not to disturb her. Then he asked, "You got a lighter?"
