Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1553

Having made the decision to confront Courtney, Jeremy was keen to get it over with as soon as possible so that he and his family could enjoy their holidays in

peace.

Glancing at his wristwatch, he realized that he had no other pressing matters to attend to today, thus, he decided to meet Courtney today.

Being fully aware of Courtney’s carefree persona, he decided against bringing his precious Hope along for the confrontation. “Patricia,” he called out to his sister-in-law. “I need you and grandma to watch over Hope today.”

Patricia’s eyes lit up at his words. “Really, Jeremy? You’re leaving Hope with us?”

She was so excited at the prospect of spending the day with Hope that she quickly dashed downstairs to share the news with Granny Luisa. “You both take your time. I’ll tell Granny Luisa. She’ll be thrilled.”

Jeremy couldn’t help but chuckle at her enthusiasm. “Slow down, Patricia. Don’t trip.”

She waved him off dismissively. “I’m still young, Jeremy. I won’t fall.”e2

Jeremy turned to his wife, Cornelia. “What’s she so excited about?”

Cornelia shrugged. “Patricia loves you as if you were her own son, hence, Hope is her beloved grandson. What grandmother wouldn’t be ecstatic to spend time with their grandchild?”

Jeremy was still confused. “But she sees Hope every day. They were the ones looking after him yesterday. There’s no need for such excitement just because we’re leaving Hope with them for the

day.”

Cornelia explained, “But grandma is getting old. Her health is deteriorating. Hope is her great- grandson, the one she’s been longing to spend time with. Of course, she’s excited.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Understanding dawned on Jeremy. “Let’s get ready. I’ll deal with Courtney today so she won’t disrupt our lives anymore.”

Cornelia nodded. “Yes, and we should spend more time with grandma. Let’s keep her here at Celestial Chateau after the holidays. She’ll be lonely at the Hartley Mansion without Bri.”

Jeremy agreed immediately, “Alright, as you wish.”

Cornelia continued, “And Bri. She said she’d be back for holidays, but now she’s not coming. What if her boyfriend is a fraud and she’s being deceived?”

Jeremy reassured his wife, “Her boyfriend used to be her classmate. I had someone look into his background. He comes from a respectable family. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Cornelia sighed in relief. “That’s good to know.”

Jeremy rubbed her head affectionately. “You’re always worrying about everyone else. Take some time to think about yourself.”

Cornelia smiled at him. “It’s my responsibility to look after our siblings. Bri never had the love of her parents growing up. It’s only natural that I care for her.”

Indeed, Cornelia had her hands full. Apart from worrying about his sister Briana, she was also concerned about her own younger sister, Tahlia. Tahlia was beautiful and competent, making her the target of many admirers. However, she was too focused on her career to entertain any romantic

pursuits. Although Tahlia was only a year younger than Cornelia and considered a suitable age for marriage in many people’s eyes, Cornelia felt that as long as Tahlia did not want to be in a relationship or get married, she should live life on her own terms.

Jeremy interjected, “From now on, I’ll take care of these things. You just focus on your work.”

Cornelia snuggled into his embrace, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist. Jeremy, do you think 1 saved the universe in my past life?”

Jeremy looked at her in surprise. “Why do you say that?”

Cornelia smiled up at him. “Because that’s the only way I can explain how I was lucky enough to meet you.”

Jeremy leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Let’s go freshen up.”

In his heart, he was the one who must have saved the universe in his past life to have been fortunate enough to have met and had her.
