Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1128

Marcus grinned, "Cornelia's here, so I'm here. Where else would I be?"

Grandpa Augustine didn't have time for this, "Where's Nelly? Get her out here. I need to talk to her."

Marcus replied, "She's busy at the moment."

"How can she be busy? Don't stand between me and her. She's my granddaughter now." Grandpa Augustine's voice trailed off.

Seeing the bite mark on Marcus' lip, he knew it was Cornelia's doing, "When she's available, have her come see me."

"Sure thing." Marcus said, "Take care now."

Grandpa Augustine turned to leave but shot Marcus a stern look, "It's not dark yet, Nelly still has the banquet to attend. Control yourself."

"I will." Marcus assured him.

"You're just like any other man, always thinking about the birds and the bees. Seems like I didn't know you as well as I thought." Grandpa Augustine said.

"It's never too late." Marcus replied.

"You're trying to piss me off, aren't you?" Augustine questioned.

Marcus quickly denied, "I don't want to upset you. Just saying if you need something, you can come to me."

"How would you know something I don't?" Augustine asked.

"Do you know Alfredo had a private chat with Cornelia?" Marcus countered.

"Nelly told you? Did he mess with her?" Augustine demanded.

"You know Alfredo better than me, he wouldn't bully a little girl. He's just worried about you being fooled." Marcus explained.

"If he's worried about me, that's no excuse to mess with Nelly. The recognition ceremony's done, Nelly is my granddaughter now. No one can harm her, including you." Augustine warned.
