Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1277

Grandpa Augustine was totally in the dark, anxiously saying, "If you guys are going to check on her, get on with it. Don't dawdle. Cornelia looks like she's not doing so hot."

"Grandpa Augustine, chill out. This ain't my first rodeo. A little medicine and I'll be right as rain." Cornelia reassured Grandpa Augustine with a smile, right before she went into the room.

In the past, she had an allergy attack that nearly choked her to death. But to put Grandpa Augustine at ease, she downplayed the gravity of the situation.

Everyone went into the room, leaving Grandpa Augustine all by his lonesome in the living room.

Jarvis didn't beat it. On the contrary, he came back, "Grandpa Augustine, I'll stick around a bit longer. Once we're sure Cornelia is okay, I'll take a hike."

Grandpa Augustine shot him a look, his eyes brimming with discontent," You're as useful as a chocolate teapot! Before you came, you told me to trust you, that you'd do your damnedest to win Cornelia over. But now you can't even muster up the courage to tell her how you really feel. How am I supposed to trust you in the future?"

Jarvis helped the old man to sit down, "Grandpa Augustine, love ain't something you can rush. It takes time."

Grandpa Augustine shot back, "You're always saying 'wait'. Cornelia's a catch. If you don't win her heart soon, some other guy will."

Jarvis replied," Alright, I get it. But you've got to realize, Cornelia's pretty standoffish with me. It's not just me, she's just gotten out of a relationship and she's not ready for another one. Anyone who approaches her now will face resistance. You pushing me at her might just backfire."

Grandpa Augustine asked, "So you're saying I should lay off Cornelia?"

Jarvis answered, "Yes."

Grandpa Augustine went on, "But if I don't push her, she might get stuck in her old, failed relationship. Don't you young people say the best way to get over a relationship is to start a new one?"

Jarvis asked, "Grandpa Augustine, who's been feeding you this nonsense?"

Grandpa Augustine replied, "I read it online. Don't think I'm too old to use the internet. I'm always online reading news to keep up with you youngsters."

Jarvis said, "There's a lot of bogus info online. You've got to judge for yourself."
