Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 17

The second message just came in, “Where are you? Why aren’t you replying to me?”

Zack and Abigail were right next to Comelia, and when they saw the message from that guy, they nervously grabbed her subconsciously, Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Comelia…”

They wanted to say something to comfort her, but they didn’t know what to say.

That husband who disappeared after getting married reappeared a year later, only to ask for a divorce. And it was at a time when Comelia was being slandered.

It was hard for them to believe that her husband didn’t file for divorce because he heard bad rumors about Cornelia.

They still clearly remembered, when Cornelia was in trouble back then, that boy who once promised to protect her for a lifetime, proposed to break up with her with determination and indifference.

That incident had a significant impact. Cornelia considered using legal means to protect herself, but the other party had many more people and even called the school, nearly getting Cornelia expelled.

To continue her studies, Cornelia had to compromise with those people, and had to leave Rosenberg with a dejected look. It’s been several years now, and she still can’t go home.

They accompanied Cornelia back to Riverton to deal with school affairs.

That night, it was pouring rain, and that guy said he would pick them up at the airport.

Upon hearing this, they were elated for Cornelia. Despite the general misunderstanding, at least one soul had opted to trust her.

They came out of the airport and saw that guy, dressed in designer clothes with two bodyguards by his side.

They thought he was here to console Cornelia, but he said instead, “Cornelia, I know what you did back in our hometown. Our family can’t lose face like this. So, let’s break up. If we meet again in the future, please pretend you don’t know me.”

After saying that, he didn’t even wait for Cornelia to say anything and turned to leave.

Zack, furious, rushed over to give him a piece of his mind but was beaten up by his two bodyguards.

At that time, Cornelia didn’t have any extreme reaction. She even smiled at his retreating figure and said “okay.”

But Abigail and Zack knew that once back in the dorm, Cornelia would be in a daze all day, not eating or drinking, lonely and fragile.

For a long time afterward, Cornelia couldn’t sleep peacefully, always waking up from nightmares.

That guy then went abroad to study and never heard from again. The three of them never mentioned him again, as if he had never

existed.

But they knew that Cornelia’s agreement to marry a stranger for her grandma’s sake wasn’t just to ease her grandma’s worries. That guy who made her lose faith in love was also one of the reasons.

Was she going to relive that pain this time?

They looked at Cornelia worriedly, but she just smiled calmly and typed quickly on her phone, “I’m busy today. Let’s meet Monday night at 8. You choose the place.”

Abigail felt it was unfair for her, “Seriously, guys are so unreliable.”

Zack, “Not all guys are unreliable, just those irresponsible ones.”

Cornelia, “Stop talking about guys, it’s ruining the mood. Let’s go have a nice meal at Harbor City, and meet with the film company’s person in charge tomorrow. Hopefully, we can negotiate a good price.”

Who cares about a husband in name only? Making money is more important!

The film company’s attitude was very sincere, and the price they offered was quite high, even exceeding their expectations.
