Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1552

In her heart, Cornelia understood the worries that plagued Jeremy, for he was a child whom his parents had abandoned. The shadows of his childhood clung to him like an unwelcome ghost, and it seemed a lifetime was needed to heal those deep wounds. Even though Jeremy had grown to be a strong man, those childhood shadows still haunted him, nagging at his conscience.

Cornelia snuggled into his arms, rubbing her head against his chest. "Honey, do you have any idea how I survived those months we were apart?"

Jeremy, "I'm sorry..."

Cornelia raised her hand, gently pressing his lips. "No apologies!"

Jeremy, "But..."

Cornelia cut him off, "Just listen. Yes, you're right, I can earn my own money. If I hadn't met you, I could have lived a good life on my own. However, I did meet you, and you've carved a permanent place in my heart. Without you, it would be like gouging a hole in my very heart. Do you understand what I'm saying?"d2

Jeremy, "Cornelia..."

Cornelia, "I can't live without you. Our little Hope can't live without his dad. We're a family, and we're not complete without each other. Do you understand?"

Jeremy smiled gently. "Sometimes I'm afraid that all of this is just a dream, that when I wake up, I'll still be locked in a cramped, dark room, and you and Hope will be gone."

Cornelia tightly held his hand, pressing it against her face. "Feel me, I'm not a figment of your imagination. I'm right here, alive and well."

Jeremy, "Yes. I feel you."

Cornelia, "I love you! I love you so much."

The love he never received in the past, she would give him double now. She wanted him to know, she loved him very much.

Knock, knock, knock...
