Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1553

Having made the decision to confront Courtney, Jeremy was keen to get it over with as soon as possible so that he and his family could enjoy their holidays in peace.

Glancing at his wristwatch, he realized that he had no other pressing matters to attend to today, thus, he decided to meet Courtney today.

Being fully aware of Courtney's carefree persona, he decided against bringing his precious Hope along for the confrontation. “Patricia,” he called out to his sister-in-law. “I need you and grandma to watch over Hope today.”

Patricia’s eyes lit up at his words. “Really, Jeremy? You’re leaving Hope with us?”

She was so excited at the prospect of spending the day with Hope that she quickly dashed downstairs to share the news with Granny Luisa. “You both take your time. I’ll tell Granny Luisa. She’ll be thrilled.”

Jeremy couldn’t help but chuckle at her enthusiasm. “Slow down, Patricia. Don’t trip.”d2

She waved him off dismissively. “I’m still young, Jeremy. I won’t fall.”

Jeremy turned to his wife, Cornelia. “What’s she so excited about?”

Cornelia shrugged. “Patricia loves you as if you were her own son, hence, Hope is her beloved grandson. What grandmother wouldn’t be ecstatic to spend time with their grandchild?”

Jeremy was still confused. “But she sees Hope every day. They were the ones looking after him yesterday. There’s no need for such excitement just because we’re leaving Hope with them for the day.”

Cornelia explained, “But grandma is getting old. Her health is deteriorating. Hope is her great-grandson, the one she’s been longing to spend time with. Of course, she’s excited.”

Understanding dawned on Jeremy. “Let’s get ready. I’ll deal with Courtney today so she won’t disrupt our lives anymore.”

Cornelia nodded. “Yes, and we should spend more time with grandma. Let’s keep her here at Celestial Chateau after the holidays. She’ll be lonely at the Hartley Mansion without Bri.”
