Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 488

The first message was a picture. It was a pic of the outfit she bought for Jeremy today.

Cornelia was like: [Jeremy, I got this for you today at Woodpine. It matches the one I'm wearing. You like it?]

Marcus cracked a smile and replied: [I do.]

Cornelia asked: [Should I mail it to your place, or should I give it to you when we meet up?]

Marcus thought for a moment, then replied: [Give it to me when we meet up.]

Cornelia: [Sure.]

After a bit, she sent another message: [Jeremy.]

Marcus replied: [What's up?]

Cornelia asked: [Have you set a date to come back to Riverton? My friends and I want to meet up with you. And I'm gonna see my grannies tomorrow. They'll definitely ask about us, can I tell them we haven't met up?]

Marcus realized she wanted to see him, and answered: [Don't worry, I'll be back in Riverton before our second anniversary.]

Cornelia said: [Deal. No takebacks, okay?]

Marcus replied: [Deal.]

Cornelia was like: [Goodnight!]

Marcus didn't reply right away. He wasn't ready to end the conversation.

He stared at her window, waiting until her room's lights turned off, before saying: [Goodnight!]

He put down his phone, and Ayden appeared at the car window, saying, "President Hartley, I've confirmed it. The four thugs from this afternoon are definitely connected to Zavier. They're criminals, on the run, hiding out. They only showed up today because Zavier's crew baited them."
