Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1178

"See you tomorrow!" Cornelia said, hanging up the phone reluctantly. Then she heard Marcus' soothing voice, "You hang up first."

"No, you hang up first." Cornelia responded.

Marcus went silent for a few seconds before finally hanging up.

It had only been two days, but for some reason, Cornelia felt like it had been ages since she had last seen Marcus.

So, when she heard he was coming back tomorrow, she was absolutely thrilled, her appetite suddenly returning for lunch.

Grandpa Augustine was delighted to see her in such high spirits, "What did that lad Marcus say to you? You've been grinning from ear to ear ever since you got off the phone with him."

"He's coming back tomorrow." Cornelia replied.

"So soon?" Grandpa Augustine asked.

"Yeah, it feels like he's been gone forever." Cornelia said.

Grandpa Augustine lightly tapped her forehead, "Oh, you silly girl, can't you play it cool for once? Men won't value what they can easily have."

"Marc is my husband, not just any guy. I want him to know how much I like him, how much I miss him." Cornelia insisted, believing that a couple should be bold in expressing their love for each other.

"As long as you're happy." Grandpa Augustine conceded, "But what exactly was Marcus doing in France that he needed to return so soon?"

"There was an explosion at our French branch. Many employees were injured or killed. Both of us went there to handle the aftermath and were so busy we didn't even make it home for New Year's. We're coming back once everything's settled, but some people are unhappy with the compensation and causing trouble." Cornelia explained.

"Does Marcus really need to personally deal with such trivial matters?" Grandpa Augustine asked.
