Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1031

Marcus went, "You absolutely can't bring this up in front of him."

Cornelia asked, "So, all those rumors are true then?"

Marcus said, "He really loved his wife and kids. After they died, he was in a world of pain for a long while before he could start moving on. He's been living alone all these years. Lots of people tried to persuade him to remarry, have another kid to inherit his fortune, but he never budged. He never considered remarrying or having kids again. I remember him saying once that he only ever loved that one woman in his life, and that there's no more room in his heart for anyone else."

Hearing this, Cornelia felt a pang in her heart, "How did his wife and child die?"

Marcus replied, "I'm not sure about the details. He never talks about his sad past, and I never asked."

Cornelia then said, "Jeremy, if something happens to me, don't be a fool. Life's long. You gotta find someone who cares about you to share it with you."

Marcus' face darkened instantly, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Cornelia sighed, "Why does fate have to torture such a loyal and good-hearted person like this? Why doesn't fate torture those fickle jerks instead?"

Marcus said, "Rest for a bit now. We might get home late tonight."

"Okay." After agreeing, Cornelia leaned back into the chair and fell asleep quickly.

Marcus glanced at Cornelia, his eyes full of tenderness behind his silver glasses, his love for her not hidden at all.

......

About half an hour later, the car arrived at its destination.

Cornelia was still asleep when the car stopped. Not wanting to wake her, Marcus sent a message: [You guys have some coffee and wait for me. It might be a while before I get there.]
