Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 979

Chapter 979

Cornella gave a nod, “I love it! This is the first house I’ve bought with my own blood, sweat and tears.”

Marcus gently patted her head, “If you want, you can have even more houses in the future”

Cornelia smiled, “I came to Riverton before I even turned eighteen, and after all these years, I finally have my own place here. I can settle down now. But, my beloved grandma is gone forever.”

Marcus said, “Look up at the sky.”

Obediently, Cornelia lifted her gaze to the night sky. The weather was clear and a few stars were visible, “What am I looking for?”

Marcus said, “See that brightest star? That’s your grandma. She’s become a star and is watching over you from up there.”

Cornelia knew it wasn’t possible, but she hoped her grandma really had turned into a star. That way, whenever she missed her, all she had to do was look up. She softly called out his name, “Jeremy”

Marcus asked, “What’s up?”

Cornelia said, “Tomorrow, I’m taking Tahlia back to Rosenberg.”

Marcus tensed up immediately, “You’re going back to Rosenberg?”

Cornelia said, “I’m taking Tahlia to see our grandparents and father. Then, I need to sort out my grandma’s belongings. I’ll be back in Riverton in a few days.”

Marcus said, “I’ll sort out work and go with you to Rosenberg tomorrow.”

Cornelia said, “No need. I can handle all this. The company has some major projects that need your attention. Without you, everyone will be leaderless. You should stay and focus on work.”

Marcus said, “Cornelia!”

Cornelia knew what he was worried about, “I’m not trying to shut you out. I just don’t want to be overly reliant on you. If one person relies too much on another, they lose their ability to be independent. I don’t want to become that person. I want to grow, so that the day we announce our marriage to the world, everyone will bless us, and not question whether I’m worthy of you.”

Marcus said, “You’re not relying on me. I need you. Today, without you by my side, I couldn’t focus on work at all. You’re all I could think about.”
