Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1354

Grandpa Augustine said, "I originally did it for Nelly’s sake. I didn’t want her to lose her partner at such a young age, so I agreed to Marc’s request to keep it a secret. After Nelly and Marc divorced, I played ignorant, cursing Marc on one hand and looking for a new partner for Nelly on the other. I thought there were many great guys around me, and Nelly could always find someone she liked, but things didn't go as I had expected. Silvia, seeing Nelly so upset, I started to doubt, was it a mistake to agree to keep Marc's secret?"

The butler interrupted Grandpa Augustine's soliloquy, "I've looked into it. Our neighbor Goldie is definitely up to no good."

"Is she one of Marc's guys?" Grandpa Augustine asked.

The butler nodded, "Yes. I suspect Nelly has figured it out, she just went over to ask."

Grandpa Augustine asked annoyed, "Marc is still stirring the pot, got energy for more tricks?"

"Do you want me to send someone to snoop around?" The butler asked.

"No need." Grandpa Augustine declined.

From the beginning, Old Augustine had made it clear to Marc that their connection would be completely cut off after that conversation, and what each of them did afterwards had nothing to do with the other.

The butler said worriedly, "I see Nelly is pretty upset."

Cornelia was upset, and so was Grandpa Augustine, "If you didn't let that Rivera family lad into the house, none of this would've happened."

The butler said, "Even if I don't let him in, Nelly would still go out to see him. It's safer to let Zavier come here than to let Nelly go out in such a bad weather. I just didn't expect the lad to bring up Acidbane."

Before the butler could finish, Old Augustine suddenly looked behind him, "Nelly, how come you're here?"

The butler was startled and turned around to see Cornelia standing at the door, staring at them.
