Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876
Zack paced anxiously in the living room, finally staring at Marcus Hartley, but his demeanor was instantly suppressed by Marcus’ serious gaze “Marcus.”
Marcus glanced at him “Speak.”
Zack gathered his courage and said. “Cornelia has been in there for over two hours by herself Shouldn’t we go check on her? If something happens to her, won’t you feel guilty?”
Abigail nodded beside him. “Yes, if something happens to Cornelia, we’ll feel guilty for the rest of our lives.”
Compared to their anxious mood, Marcus remained calm as if he didn’t care. “You both grew up with her, so you should know her better than I do. Cornelia is a very strong girl, and once she overcomes this difficulty, there won’t be anything that can bring her down in the future.”
“Strong” Zack sneered “What more do you want from her?”
Marcus raised an eyebrow at Zack but didn’t say anything.
Zack continued “When she was very young, her father left her, and she was forced to grow up and be strong. Later on, no matter what happened, she learned to endure, learned to be strong, because besides her grandmother, she had no one else to rely on. But it’s different now. She has you. You need to be her solid support, you need to protect her, take care of her, and let her know that sometimes she doesn’t have to be so strong
Marcus said, “I am her solid support, I am her reliance, I will take care of her, protect her, but she is still an independent individual. She is not my appendage, and there are some difficulties she must overcome on her own. After overcoming those difficulties, she will truly feel relieved in her heart.”
He could protect Cornelia, take care of her like a flower in a greenhouse, but he believed that wasn’t what Cornelia wanted.
Marcus believed that a marriage was always a mutual support system, and both parties had to grow together for the relationship to be more enduring. In life, there were many cases where couples were compatible before marriage, but after getting married, one person couldn’t keep up with the other, gradually losing confidence, and the gap between them grew, leading to divorce.
If he wanted his marriage with Cornelia to last, he had to let her grow with him, become stronger, and not fall behind. And this time, Cornelia had to figure it out on her own and become strong, or else she would remain in pain.
“When will the funeral home people come?”
Just as they were discussing, Cornelia came out and calmly asked Marcus about the situation. Marcus was slightly stunned, then said, “The staff and the car are already waiting outside. As long as you agree, they can take Granny Rebecca’s body away.”
Granny Luisa, who had been busy handling Granny Rebecca’s affairs, said to Cornelia, “Nelly, once she’s at the funeral home, she will be cremated, and only her ashes will be left. We can let your grandmother stay with us for a few more days, so she can spend more time with us. I have already prepared a refrigeration device, which can ensure that your grandmother’s body will not deteriorate for two days”
Riverton’s weather was very hot, so if you wanted to store a corpse at home for two more days without it rotting, you had to use a lot of refrigeration devices, which was a complicated and expensive process.
However, Cornelia didn’t want her grandmother to be refrigerated after her death. “Granny Luisa, don’t bother. I want to cremate my grandmother’s body as soon as possible and send her back to Rosenberg for burial.”
