Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 112

"You're totally right, I didn't take good care of her before and let her suffer a lot. I swear I won't make that mistake again," Marcus said, then turned to Cornelia and apologized.

His eyes were deep and hazy, and Cornelia guessed he might be drunk. The apology was probably meant for his wife.

Cornelia wanted to tell him not to blame himself too much. They just needed to live a good life together in the future.

But she wasn't his wife, and she hadn't experienced what his wife had gone through. She didn't know what had happened between the couple and wasn't qualified to give advice.

She remained silent, and Marcus chuckled and raised his glass for another drink.

Old Mr. Abner said, "Marc, you two seem a bit awkward. Did you guys have a fight before coming to see me?"

Cornelia shuddered when she heard this, but Marcus responded quickly, "Yeah, we had a fight. If it weren't for your sake, she probably wouldn't even want to talk to me today."

Old Mr. Abner nodded knowingly, "I could tell by the way you held hands that you had a fight. But there's no couple who doesn't fight. When my wife and I first got married, we often fought because of our different personalities. Once, I even made her cry. Seeing her tears, I felt so bad that I swore never to make her sad again and to make her happy for the rest of her life. I also promised never to leave her, but sadly, she left me first."

Thinking of his late wife, tears welled up in Old Mr. Abner's eyes. "Don't think that you're young and have a lifetime ahead. Life is short, and before you know it, decades have passed. Cherish every day you have together."

Marcus nodded, "I will."

Cornelia also nodded, suddenly thinking of her nominal husband, Jeremy.

Their marriage seemed like it never happened. She hadn't thought much about him before he appeared, and getting the marriage certificate felt like it just happened yesterday.
