Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702 

Briana said, “Take another guess.” 

Comelia took a feel but still couldn’t figure it out, “Can I take a peek?” 

Briana said, “Sure, have a look.” 

Comelia opened her eyes to see something shaped like a globe. “Is this a globe?” 

Briana said, “It’s made to resemble a globe, but what’s on the surface is totally different. Take a closer look at what’s on it.” 

Lifting the small sphere to her eyes, Cornelia scrutinized it for a while, “Is this a jade carving? With two people carved inside?” 

It looked like jade but didn’t feel like it. Briana said, “I can’t be sure what it is, but they say whoever owns this little gem will be forever in love with their partner, till their hair turns gray. I want you and my brother to be together forever, so I’m giving it to you as a wedding gift.” Comelia said. “That’s a really nice thought, I’ll take it.” She didn’t refuse, graciously accepting the gift from her sister–in–law. 

Briana said, “Keep it safe. Let’s go find Granny, or she’ll give me hell for hogging all your time when you should be chatting with her.” 

The gadget wasn’t big, but it was inconvenient to carry, so Cornelia returned it to Marcus‘ room before heading downstairs with Briana. 

Walking side by side with Briana, Cornelia suddenly thought of something. “Have you been in touch with Natalia recently?” 

Briana said, “Yeah, I was just chatting with her. But for some reason, I get the feeling she’s not herself. She keeps asking me weird questions.” 

Cornelia asked, “Could it be that it’s not her you’re chatting with?” 

Briana said, “What do you mean?” 

Comelia said, “Maybe her mom is using her phone.” 

Briana said, “I doubt it! Her mom adores her and is really nice to all of us younger ones. When I was little and didn’t have a mom, her mom would often take care of me, which is more than I can say for my own mother…” Briana stopped mid–sentence, realizing she had said too much. 

But then again, Cornelia was part of the Hartley family and deserved to know. 

Briana said, “I’m not embarrassed to admit it. Without Granny, my brother and I would be no better than orphans. Our parents have new families and kids of their own, and those kids are their real children. It’s like my brother and I weren’t even their own but picked up from a dumpster by Granny.” 

Briana expressed her thoughts with an air of indifference, but a closer look at her eyes revealed her underlying worries.
