Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Cornelia was half asleep when her personal phone started buzzing on the nightstand I was a video call from her grandma. She immediately picked up. “Granny, why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s so late!” Her grandma’s face was full of worry, “I couldn’t keep contact with you, and I was freaking out!” Cornelia noticed several missed video calls from her grandma, ‘Granny, I went out to buy something and forgot to bring my phone” Her grandma let out a sigh of relief, “Nelly, have you had dinner? Is work too stressful lately? If it is, just switch jobs, don’t overwork yourself” Cornelia felt a lump in her throat and replied softly. “Granny, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. What about you? Have you been teaching others lately?” Cornelia’s grandma was a retired teacher but was rehired by the school for a few years due to her excellent teaching reputation. She had just retired again earlier this year but couldn’t stay idle and started tutoring people This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

1 have nothing to do at home, so tutoring not only gives me some extra cash but also keeps my brain active. It’s great!” Her grandma always had a happy face when talking to Cornelia, ‘Nelly, is your husband still super busy?” In just a few sentences, her grandma had shifted the topic to her husband. Cornelia knew how much her grandma wanted that guy named Jeremy to take care of her, so she couldn’t bear to tell her that he wanted a divorce. For the past year, whenever her grandma inquired about her spouse, Cornelia would casually dismiss it, stating he was tied up, never revealing that she and Jeremy had only encountered each other once on their wedding day. Cornelia mockingly pouted, “Granny, since I married, it’s always about him. Did you stop adoring me?” Her Grandma also smiled and said, “How could I not adore you? I just want you and Heremy to live a good life together. I know you both are busy with work. I’ll go to see you two and also catch up with my

old friends later.” Once her grandma arrived in Riverton, she wouldn’t be able to keep the divorce a secret. Cornelia felt it necessary to prepare Grandma in advance. Otherwise, if Grandma came here, didn’t see her son-in-law, and heard the news of their divorce, it would surely upset her. “Grandma, many people don’t get married nowadays, but they still lead good lives.” Her grandma said, “I don’t care about other people’s marriages. You’re married, and you two should live a good life together.” Cornelia felt stifled in her heart. Marriage is a matter between two people. If one person wants to live well together and the other doesn’t, then there’s no way to continue this life. “But what if he doesn’t want to continue with me?” “Nelly, you’re a good girl. Jeremy is lucky to have you. Why wouldn’t he want to live a good life with you?” In her grandma’s eyes, Cornelia was the best child in the world. Cornelia asked, “What if he really doesn’t want to?” Her grandma suddenly became serious, “Nelly, has he been mistreating you?” Cornelia quickly shook her head, “No, he’s been really good to me.” Her grandma continued, “Granny Luisa is my old friend. I trust her grandson’s character, which is why I agreed to your marriage. If he’s really not treating you well, just divorce him. I don’t care whose grandson he is, I won’t let him off easy.” Hearing her grandma say the word “divorce,” Cornelia knew even more how much she was loved. Cornelia gave her grandma a sweet smile, “Granny, I love you!” “I love you too, Nelly “The two happily chatted for a while before ending the video call. Cornelia put down her phone, planning to sleep, but she just couldn’t fall asleep. She had been busy all day and injured, her body was exhausted, but her mind was wide awake. Lying in bed, she sent a message in the group chat with the three of them: “Are you guys asleep yet?”
