Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1111

Grandpa Duran continued, "Cornelia, just a heads up, you've agreed to be my granddaughter. No take-backs."

Cornelia responded, "Grandpa Duran, a promise is a promise. But, could you perhaps give me a few more days to mull it over?"

Grandpa Duran questioned, "If you're not planning on backing out, what's there to ponder?"

Cornelia fell silent. Grandpa Duran had a point.

Grandpa Duran then tried to persuade her, "Since you've already agreed to be my granddaughter, we gotta carry out this adoption ceremony sooner or later. Better to sort it out sooner than later, right? It's one less thing to worry about. You guys with me on this?"

Grandpa Duran was a smooth talker, not only did he coax Cornelia, he tried to rally everyone to convince her as well.

Steven chimed in, "It's a good thing, indeed better sooner than later."

Cornelia fell silent again. Why was he suddenly piping up now?

Cornelia looked over at Marcus, knowing he probably wouldn't agree to her adopting a stranger with no blood ties as a relative. But to her surprise, Marcus was even more gung-ho than her, "Grandpa Duran's right, better sooner than later. Let's get this done today."

Hannah added, "Cornelia, since you've promised Grandpa Duran, just go through with the adoption ceremony ASAP."

In Hannah's view, the Durans were influential and powerful. Once Grandpa Duran adopted Cornelia, she'd be under the Duran's protection. Even if her marriage with Marcus fell apart, no one would dare mess with her. All in all, Hannah saw this as a blessing in disguise.
