Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1244

Cornelia and Grandpa Augustine had been yakking for quite some time, with her trying to keep the old man's spirits up. She had no intentions of finding another beau. "Grandpa Augustine, this guy ain't doing it for me."

The man wasn't Cornelia's cup of tea, and Grandpa Augustine didn't sweat it. He flipped to another photo, saying, "What about this bloke? He's from the Alexander family, the ones running a business in the Capital."

Cornelia leaned in for a gander. This bloke looked pretty dashing, not just a pretty face but also had a decent build in the photo.

"Who's this guy?" Cornelia asked.

"Jarvis!" The mention of Jarvis piqued Grandpa Augustine's interest, "The Alexander family's business is still in the hands of Cecil, but Jarvis is the only heir."

"I see." Cornelia nodded knowingly, "So he doesn't have to worry about someone else snatching away his inheritance."

"This young chap doesn't want to take over the family business. He's not even thirty and he's already built his own empire. The cloud payment we know today was developed by Jarvis' team, and he made a fortune from this project alone." Augustine said.

Cornelia played along, "Wow, he must be some hotshot then!"

Patricia, who had been quiet all along, chimed in, "Grandpa Augustine, these two men are certainly promising. But compared to President Hartley, they're not in the same league. President Hartley was hustling with his team since he was a teenager, and thanks to his efforts, the once shaky Hartley Group has become a top-tier company globally."

"He may have been a big shot, but that's history. He's an ex-husband now." Grandpa Augustine knew about Marcus's achievements and the two excellent men he introduced. But compared to Marcus, they still fell short.

Patricia was just stating facts, but it seemed to have rubbed Grandpa Augustine the wrong way. Cornelia quickly defused the situation, "Grandpa Augustine, I've got my hands full with work at the moment, so I don't have time to think about personal stuff. Let's cook some pork pie for now. I need to get back to work after."

"Alright, your work comes first. You do your thing, and I'll handle the matchmaking." Grandpa Augustine said.

Cornelia felt that being nagged to get hitched could be a blessing and a curse.

......

For the next few days, Cornelia didn't hear a peep about Marcus. She was buried in her work, oblivious to what was happening outside her world.

She was a routine queen when it came to her comic, updating daily. Ever since she sold the TV and animation rights, her creative freedom took a hit. Cornelia had to submit the complete draft within the agreed timeframe.

The first half of the content was about her and Marcus's everyday life, which the readers found sweet and heartwarming.

If she were to draw the latter half based on reality, where the male lead suddenly changed his heart and the female lead filed for divorce, leading to their separation, it would be a real sob story. The backlash from readers would be enough to drown her.

Real life was already tough enough. Cornelia didn't want her comic characters to suffer like her. So, Cornelia worked her socks off creating unexperienced everyday life scenes and designed a rosy ending for the lead characters.
