Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1444

The business empire would no longer belong to anyone reChapter 1443

Comeba. (Dr Lester, I owe you one!]

Dr Lester, (We’re pals, no need for thanks]

Comelia, (I’m thinking of whipping up some grub tonight Fancy joining me for dintier?)

Dr. Lester, I don’t plan on being a third wheel.]

Ever since Cornelia and Jeremy patched things up, Jeremy’s health hadn’t been kept under wraps from her. So, she

and Dr. Lester often needed to talk about Jeremy’s condition. Whatever medical tests Jeremy needed, Dr. Lester

always gave Cornelia the heads up. It was more efficient than dealing directly with Jeremy.

Dr. Lester, [Marc needs a full–body check–up tomorrow afternoon. This check–up is critical. You gotta be there with

him.]

Cornelia, [What kind of check–up?]

Dr. Lester, (I’ll fill you in on the details tomorrow. For now, just know that this check–up is super important. You

absolutely can’t miss it.] Cornelia, [Alright

She sensed some unease in Dr. Lester’s words but didn’t press him further. No matter how tough the road ahead,

she was sticking with Jeremy.

After sending the message, she pocketed her phone. Looking up, she saw that Jeremy was wearing a sour

expression. Cornelia smiled at him. “What’s up?”

Jeremy, “You’ve been ignoring me for five minutes. Five whole minutes.”

Cornelia was amused by his petulance, and it instantly lifted her spirits, “I’m sorry, honey. Can you forgive me?”

Jeremy, “Well, since you apologized right away, I guess I can let it slide.”

Cornelia again draped her arm over his left, even though he still couldn’t feel it. But she believed he could feel her

presence. “It’s still early. Let’s hit the supermarket. I’m thinking of making dinner tonight.”

“Okay. Jeremy reached up, lightly pinching her bun. He seemed to be unable to let it go. When she first started

working for him, all he wanted to do was touch her bun. But since he didn’t know she was his wife then, he could

only long for her in his heart. Now, he could openly touch her bun.

Comelia, “Can you stop messing with my bun? If you keep this up, my hair’s gonna get all messy.”

Jeremy, “If it gets messy, I’ll help you comb it.”

Cornelia, “Alright. You need to master the technique. From now on, my bun is your responsibility.” Jeremy, “Okay.”

Cornelia, “Think about what you want to eat.”

Jeremy, “As long as I’m eating with you, I’m good.”

When she first started working for him, he was a very picky eater. He didn’t eat this, and he didn’t eat that, which

made her job really difficult. But now, to get along better with her, he had changed his eating habits.

Sometimes, Comelia thought that if it were her, she would never be able to do what Jeremy did. His care for her

went beyond the little things in life. It was so much more.

Cornelia smiled at him. “Okay.”

After crossing the road and walking a few hundred meters along the riverside park, they could see a large

supermarket. They also lived in this area, so it was super convenient for them to buy ingredients.

Cornelia rented the house. She thought Jeremy was broke, so she only told him after she had rented the place.

Jeremy told her not to worry about money, and that he had enough funds, but she didn’t believe him. So, he didn’t

say much more. When they got back to Riverton, he took her to see the place in person. Then she would know that

her man was not as incapable as she imagined.

Even though the Hartley Group was no more, he had the ability to build a business empire even stronger than the

Hartley Group.

lated to the Hartley family, but to the Artis family and the Stewart family And that was his gift to her.

Comelia asked him, “Why aren’t you saying anything? What’s on your mind?”

Jeremy replied, “I was just thinking about us when we grow old, when we become grandparents…”

Comelia cut him off, “I’m only twenty–six!”

Jeremy said, “I know.”

They’d been married for over three years, but he’d never spent a birthday with her. He thought, by the end of this

year, he was going to make sure she had a good birthday.

Comelia said, “You don’t know.”

Jeremy asked, “What?”

Comelia said, ‘I don’t want to grow old. I want to be with you forever, until eternity.”

Jeremy stroked her head. “Alright, we won’t grow old…”

Maybe feeling neglected by her parents, Hope in the stroller started crying.

“Hope’s awake. Cornelia quickly picked up Hope. “Baby, Mom and Dad are here, no more crying.”

Seeing his mom, Hope stopped crying, and buried his head into Cornelia’s chest, eagerly seeking food. Cornelia

said, “I think Hope is hungry.”

Jeremy looked around. “There are chairs over there. You sit down.”

Comelia sat down with Hope. As a new mom, she didn’t know how to breastfeed. Fortunately, Jeremy had

everything prepared. “Just wait a sec.”

He took out an umbrella from under the stroller and opened it up. Because he only had one hand free, it took him a

while to open the umbrella. He used the umbrella to shield Cornelia, standing in front of her like a wall, like a solid

fortress, blocking all the wind and rain for them.

Comelia looked at him and then lowered her head to feed Hope. With the protection of Jeremy and the umbrella,

she didn’t have to worry about being seen by passers–by.

Soon, Hope was full and looked up at Cornelia. Cornelia tidied up her clothes, gently poking his face. “Honey, look,

our Hope is looking more and more like you.”

Hope’s eyes looked a lot like Jeremy’s; not just his eyes, but his whole face looked like a mini–version of Jeremy,

very adorable. Cornelia had asked Patricia if Jeremy looked like this when he was a child. Such a cute child, just

looking at her would melt anyone’s heart

Cornelia really didn’t understand how Courtney could bear to abandon such a cute daughter of her own. What she

understood even less was how Brennen could be so cruel to such a small child.

Jeremy closed the umbrella and sat down next to Cornelia. He didn’t look at Hope immediately, but first helped

Comelia tidy up the hair that had fallen onto her forehead while feeding, and also helped her tidy up her clothes.

Cornelia held Hope in front of Jeremy. “Look at Hope.”

But in Jeremy’s eyes, there was only her, that gentle, sweet, straightforward her, “As long as the child is ours, no

matter what he looks like, I’ll love her.”

Comelia was attracted by his passionate gaze. “But I love him because he looks like you.”

Jeremy lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. “What you love, I love too.”

Cornelia said, “I know.”

Hope started crying. Cornelia immediately looked at Hope in her arms. “Baby, are you still hungry?”

As soon as mom’s attention was on him, Hope immediately stopped crying.

Jeremy took Hope from Cornelia, “Little guy, she’s my wife.”
