Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 410

Cornelia chuckled, "You're just too used to being busy. You should spend more time with your family when you're free, like playing with your grandson. It's quite a treat."

"My little grandson doesn't really fancy me. He doesn't even let me hold him when I'm home." Austin said before abruptly asking, "When are you planning to have kids?"

Cornelia replied, "My husband and I aren't in a rush."

Austin sighed, "Young folks these days are all about work, no hurry to have kids. As someone who's been there, I think, sooner or later you'll have kids. So why not sooner?"

Not wanting to argue with the old man, Cornelia just offered a polite smile and said, "You have a point."

In the middle of their conversation, they drove into a familiar neighborhood. This was the way to Marcus's Celestial Chateau. "President Hartley, are we heading to your place?" she asked.

She had been chatting with Austin the whole ride, as if Marcus in the backseat was invisible. Only now did she finally notice him, and Marcus grunted in displeasure.

Cornelia had no idea why Marcus was suddenly upset, but she knew better than to provoke him at this moment. She guessed he was probably going home to change before heading out again. As his assistant, she had to accompany him.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the Celestial Chateau.

Patricia was already waiting by the gate. Seeing Cornelia getting out of the car, she rushed over and looked her up and down, "Nelly, you're finally back. You must've had a tough time working in Paris. You've lost weight. You must eat well tonight."

Cornelia gave an apologetic smile, "Patricia, I'm just here to accompany President Hartley to change his clothes. We'll be leaving again soon, so I might not get a chance to taste your cooking."

"You're leaving again?" Patricia looked at Marcus, her disappointment almost bringing her to tears, "Marc, I thought you saw my message and brought Nelly back to have the meal I prepared. Guess I was wrong."

Marcus didn't say anything. He took a phone call in front of them. After a brief exchange, he hung up and said to Cornelia, "The gathering tonight's been called off. Stay for dinner."

Patricia immediately grabbed Cornelia, holding on tightly as if afraid she'd leave the moment she let go, "Nelly, Marc said there's no work tonight. Stay and try the Rosenberg dish I made."

Ever since Patricia found out Cornelia was Marcus' wife and the lady of the house, she couldn't have been happier. She'd been trying to figure out how to please Cornelia every day. While they were both working in Paris, Patricia even learned to cook dishes from Cornelia's hometown.

When they finally returned, Patricia couldn't wait to show off her cooking skills. She was over the moon when she received a message from Marcus this morning saying he and Cornelia were coming home.

For Patricia, this was great news. Marcus mentioned he was bringing Cornelia home, asked Patricia to prepare Cornelia's room. He even instructed her to have the chef cook some of Cornelia's favorite hometown dishes.

All these preparations were made by Marcus to welcome Cornelia home, and Patricia was just carrying them out.
