Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 376

Briana picked up a glass and stated, "I'm not much of a drinker, but this stuff we're having tonight is my brother's hidden stash. This wine is so rare, you can't even buy it on the market. It's all bought at auctions for a high price; every bottle we drink is one less in the world. I'd feel guilty if I didn’t drink this expensive wine."

Ben chimed in, "I've been with President Hartley for ten years, but we've always been buried in work. This is the first time we're sitting down together, having dinner, watching a show, and sipping on President Hartley's fine wine."

"Here's to President Hartley and Cornelia. Thank you, President Hartley, for this wonderful venue, and thank you, Cornelia, for the feast," Dr. Dawson raised his glass. Ayden and his mom were always by Marcus' side, no matter where he went. If Marcus was busy working on New Year's, they couldn't celebrate. But the silver lining was they were always together.

Cornelia quickly stood up, "The credit can't all go to me. This dinner was prepared by all of us." And she clinked glasses with everyone.

After finishing her drink, she said, "You guys go ahead and eat, I'm going to video call my grandma."

On the video call, her grandma asked, "Nelly, have you finished all your work?"

"All done," Cornelia rotated her phone. Marcus didn't want to be on camera, so she avoided him. "Grandma, look. I'm having dinner with my colleagues and watching a show."

When Cornelia's camera pointed to Briana, she waved to the grandma, "Hello, Grandma! Don't worry, we'll take good care of Cornelia."

"Thank you! Thank you! I'm relieved knowing Nelly isn't alone during the holidays." Cornelia's Grandma greeted everyone but Marcus.

Her grandma seemed satisfied, "Nelly, don't forget to call Jay. You two have been living apart for so long, you should call each other more often."

"I know, grandma." Cornelia had been busy with work recently. She moved in with Marcus after hearing that Jeremy was also busy, and had only contacted Jeremy once since.

She hadn't contacted him in the past few days, and Jeremy hadn't reached out either. She thought he was busy, so she was waiting for him to text her when he was free. But she hadn't heard from him.

Before dinner, she texted Jeremy, but hadn't heard back yet.

As the saying goes, if a guy truly cares about you, no matter how busy he is, he'll make time to call or text you. If he doesn't even have time for a call, it's very likely he doesn't value you enough.

Cornelia didn't see herself as a clingy girl. She thought it was okay for both of them to be busy, but since they decided to spend their lives together, communication via phone became crucial when they were apart.

As she was pondering, a WhatsApp notification popped up. She opened it and saw a message from Jeremy, a $10,000 transfer with a note saying, "Happy New Year, Cornelia!"

He didn't say anything, but sent over a large sum of money.

Cornelia had to admit, Jeremy was quite generous, but she felt a bit angry, [You haven't contacted me for days, and now you suddenly transfer me money. Do you think I need your money?]

Jeremy didn't respond, just sent over another $10,000.
