Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1148

Emily said, "That's from Old Augustine. He arranged it to keep you safe."

Cornelia asked, "Keep me safe? Why?"

Emily replied, "The cat's out of the bag about you being his granddaughter. His enemies might target you, so that's why he's set things up this way."

Cornelia said, "Oh I see!"

Emily opened his arms and hugged Cornelia, "Don't sweat it, Nelly. We've got your back."

Cornelia hugged him back, touched, "Thanks for that."

Emily said, "We're family, no need for formalities."

Cornelia smiled, "How wonderful!"

Emily asked, "What's so wonderful?"

Cornelia teased him by pinching his cheek, "It's wonderful knowing you!"

Emily was thrilled and gave Cornelia a couple of pecks on her cheek. Cornelia also kissed him, thinking to herself her future child with Marcus would even be cuter than Emily.

Brian cleared his throat.

Emily asked, "Got a cold?"

Wyatt said, "He just can't stand you two being all lovey-dovey."

Emily shot back, "Can't he speak for himself? Does he need you to do it for him?"

Wyatt said, "I..."

Before Alexa could say something, Emily interrupted, "This has nothing to do with you, so zip it."
