Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 86

Her first question left Marcus speechless.

Granny Rebecca thought he was shy because there were others around, so he was too embarrassed to talk to her.

She chuckled and said to the caretaker, “Id like to have a chat with my grandson–in–law alone, you go on and do your thing”

Granny Rebecca emphasized the term “grandson–in–law” to assert Cornelia’s sovereignty, letting other women give up on their intentions sooner.

The caretaker knew she shouldn’t overthink, but before leaving, she couldn’t help but take an extra look at Marcus, who was just too handsome.

Marcus, qn the other hand, never glanced at the woman next to him, which made Granny Rebecca very satisfied. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The more she looked at him, the more she liked him, and she couldn’t help but laugh. Her face wrinkling with joy and she said, “Jay, I’m so glad you could make time to see me”

Marcus politely replied. “It’s my pleasure.”

Granny continued, “You and Nelly got married before you fell in love, so you need to spend more time building your relationship and not neglect your family because of work.”

Marcus nodded, “Yes”

Since he didn’t talk much, Granny Rebecca had to keep the conversation going. “Nelly is a strong girl who won’t show her vulnerability easily. She keeps a lot to herself, so you need to taki care of her more in the future”

Marcus replied, “Alright.”

Granny Rebecca said a lot, and Marcus” answers were always simple, “Alright”

After a while, Granny Rebecca began to sense something was off, “Jay, are you and Nelly not getting along? Or is there some other problem?”

“Granny, don’t worry, we haven’t had a disagreement. As you just said, we didn’t have a foundation before getting married, and after marriage, we’ve been apart more than together due work We’re still getting used to each other. This was the best answer Marcus could come up with to avoid worrying Granny Rebecca

It had been over a year since they got married, and they were still getting used to each other, which meant there was no love between them.

Granny Rebecca understood this point well, realizing that despite the long years of marriage between the two children, she had never seen them together.

Cornelia had never mentioned Marcus in front of her, and coupled with various hints from Cornelia before.

Granny Rebecca realized that the marriage wasn’t as perfect as she thought

It wasn’t uncommon for couples who once passionately loved each other to have their relationship break down after marriage, let alone a couple with no foundation.

Granny Rebecca wanted Cornelia to get married and have children because she hoped Cornelia could find a man who loved and cared for her, allowing her, who lost her parents at a yo age, to have a happy family, not just marrying for the sake of it.

But now it seemed that the marriage she had worked so hard to arrange didn’t bring Cornelia happiness, but pain and pressure instead.

Since they had no feelings for each other, Cornelia had to make up one white lie after another to put her mind at ease.

Thinking of how hard Cornelia had been trying to please her over the past year, Granny Rebecca felt heartbroken, “Jay, just tell me straight.”

Tell her straight?

Tell her that her granddaughter had been cheating on him, could she accept that?

“Did you two divorce already?” Granny Rebecca asked, holding back her pain, the one question she least wanted to ask.

Since she already guessed, Marcus felt there was no need to hide it anymore, “We haven’t divorced yet, but we’re preparing to.”

“What’s the reason for the divorce? Is it because of the lack of feelings or another reason?” Rebecca asked.

“Another reason.” Marcus said
