Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1582

"Nelly, I can't believe how much our little boy is talking now," Hannah smiled, snuggling Hope into her arms. "My sweet little bundle of joy is so adorable."

Hope was barely a year old, his vocabulary limited. This was the first time Cornelia had heard him string together so many words so clearly. She leaned in to kiss Hope's cheek. "My Hope, you're so squishy and precious. Mama could just eat you up."

As if understanding the playful threat, Hope's eyes widened. "Mama no eat baby. Baby good."

Cornelia chuckled. "Yes, our Hope is the best. Do you want to go shopping with Mama?"

After a thoughtful pause, Hope replied, "I want Daddy."

"You little rascal, you prefer your daddy over your mama, huh?" Cornelia teased, passing Hope towards his father, Jeremy.d2

"Daddy, cuddle!" Hope requested, reaching out for his dad.

Jeremy took him. Jeremy's towering figure made Hope looked even smaller and irresistibly cute in his arms. "Nelly, you ladies go shopping. I'll tag along with the little fella here."

Cornelia said, "Hope is used to taking a nap around this time, and he'll probably fall asleep soon. Could you take Hope back for a rest?"

Hannah eagerly looked at Hope, but since Hope wanted his father, she couldn't insist on taking the baby away. "Nelly, can I come to your place for dinner tonight?"

"Of course." Cornelia agreed.

Steven chimed in, "Marc, I haven't had dinner at your place yet. Aren't you going to invite me?"

Jeremy nodded. "Sure, come over tonight."
