Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1555

Courtney put on a show, but Jeremy wouldn't buy it. He didn't even spare Courtney a glance, taking Cornelia's hand and saying, "Let's go."

Cornelia gently tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Honey, we're here already. Let's sort this out so she won't bother us in the future."

At Cornelia's urging, Jeremy finally paused, turning to look at Courtney with cold eyes. "Let's be clear, it's you who's been nagging to see me, not the other way around."

"Yeah, yeah, it's all me. After all, you are my own flesh and blood," Courtney said, as if their relationship were just like any other mother and son's. "Parents always owe their children, not the other way around."

But Jeremy wouldn't show her any respect. "Don't give me that. You know the real nature of our relationship better than I do. State your business. I don't want to waste any more time on you."

"Oh, Marc, I just missed you.” Courtney tried to play the loving mother, even though she had never really been there for him.d2

Knowing that she had no way to manipulate Jeremy, she switched targets. “Cornelia, look at your husband and the way he speaks to his own mother."

Jeremy cut in, "State your business and leave Cornelia out of it. Our problems existed before I even met her. Don't try to blame her."

Courtney played the victim. "Marc, I just want to talk with my daughter-in-law. Can't I do that?"

Jeremy replied coldly, "No!"
