Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1188

......

It was only early September and the weather had already started to cool down in many places, but Riverton was still scorchingly hot.

At night time, the sea breeze blew in, and Cornelia took a stroll in the yard. It didn't take long for her to break into a sweat, yet Marcus' hand remained as cold as ice.

Cornelia, holding his hand, rubbing it as she asked, "Aren't you taking the medicine Dr. Lester prescribed? Why are your hands still so cold?"

Marcus replied, “It's a chronic issue, not life-threatening, but it won't recover that quickly.”

“Have you not been taking the medicine as Dr. Lester instructed? Should we change doctors and get you checked again? If the doctors here don’t work, we can look overseas.” Cornelia said.

Marcus said, "Stop fussing over me. Let's just enjoy our walk."

Just as Cornelia was about to speak, Marcus interrupted her, "Shh! Listen, do you hear that?"

Cornelia quieted down, listened carefully, and heard the sound of the sea breeze, the cicadas, and the rhythmic beating of Marcus' heart. She moved closer to him, snuggled into his arms, and stopped moving.

Walking or watching the flowers wasn't her main purpose, she just wanted to be alone with him, to try things they had never done before.

Marcus lowered his head, his chin touching the top of her head, "Cornelia!"

He always called her by her name, not Nelly like her family did, because he believed, only this way, she was entirely his.

Cornelia looked up at him, her eyes met his deep gaze, "Do you have something to tell me?"
