Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 244

"Cool beans! I don't have to worry about not spending the holiday with my Granny this year. I was planning to take her out for a walk, but her health isn't up to snuff," Cornelia said.

"Don't sweat it," Zack reassured her. "Let your Granny chill for a bit. You can always take her out when she's back in the saddle."

"I'm just worried it might be too late," Cornelia confessed. She had asked the doctor on the down low, and although her Granny was giving it her all, her age made things look pretty grim.

Whenever Cornelia thought about her Granny busting her chops all her life, only to fall sick before she could kick back and enjoy life, she felt a lump in her throat.

"Why don't we bring your Granny here to live with us?" suggested Abigail. "We can bunk together and let her have my room."

Cornelia shook her head. "My Granny has already decided to go to Southern Peak with Jeremy's Granny. She doesn’t want to rain on my parade, wants me to be focused on my work. There's no way she's coming back with me."

"It's a real heart breaker, isn't it?" said Abigail. "Parents slave away all their lives for their kids, but when they really need their kids, they worry about being a burden."

"Abigail, I'm hitting the road to Southern Peak tomorrow to keep my Granny company for a couple of days. Let's hit the mall after dinner, I want to buy her some new threads," said Cornelia.

"Can you afford to take time off work?" asked Abigail.

"My boss is off with his wife, gave us a few days off," Cornelia replied.

"I'm getting green with envy over your job," Abigail admitted.

"Bet you're not envious of my job, but rather itching to be my boss's lady," Cornelia teased with a grin.

"You've hit the nail on the head again," Abigail conceded.
