Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1179

Before heading upstairs for a shuteye, Grandpa Augustine handed a fancy box to Cornelia, "Nelly, when you first got hitched, I had no idea who you really were. Now that I know, I owe you a wedding gift."

"Thank you!" Cornelia gently weighed the box, feeling it was light as a feather, probably some kind of jewelry, "Grandpa Augustine, can I take a peek?"

Cornelia was itching to try on whatever Grandpa Augustine had gifted her.

Grandpa Augustine said, "Of course, it's yours after all. Go ahead and take a look."

With Grandpa Augustine's go-ahead, Cornelia popped open the box. But instead of jewelry, it was filled with all sorts of documents. The one on top was a deed of property. Cornelia was utterly gobsmacked at the sight of it.

The deed wasn't for a house, but an entire building, located smack in the middle of the capital's bustling commercial area. If Cornelia wasn’t mistaken, this was the same building where she and Marcus had splurged on luxury goods during their first trip to the capital. She didn't even dare to estimate the worth of the building.

Flipping through further, she found that Grandpa Augustine had also gifted her a hefty number of shares and funds. It was pretty much on par with Granny Luisa's gift.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Cornelia hurriedly tried to give the box back to Grandpa Augustine, "This is all your hard-earned money. You shouldn't give it to me. You should keep it for your retirement."

Grandpa Augustine chuckled, "Nelly, do you really think this is all I've got? You think this little wealth is enough for me to retire?"

Cornelia was speechless. The value of the building alone was a king's ransom. And Grandpa Augustine was saying it was just a drop in the bucket.
