Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 516

She didn't get a reply. Maybe he didn't see it or it was a delay in the message. Cornelia figured if she gave him a call, he should hear it, right?

All she wanted was for him to be safe!

But, when she dialed Jeremy's number, what came through the phone was a cold, emotionless robotic voice, "The number you have dialed is currently switched off, please try again later."

He had turned off his phone! Why did he turn off his phone? A sense of unease quickly spread through Cornelia's heart.

She didn't want to think the worst, so she kept reassuring herself that Jeremy must be asleep and would reply to her message when he woke up.

But such consolation was useless; the unease continued to spread, quickly reaching every corner of her body, making her hand holding the phone tremble slightly.

"Nelly, why don't you and me go for a walk in the yard?" Granny Rebecca had noticed Cornelia's anxiety all day, but since she didn't say anything, Granny didn't ask.

"Sure." Cornelia quickly put away her phone and helped Granny walk towards the yard.

The yard was a sea of flowers. It was springtime, and all sorts of red, blue, and white flowers were in bloom, a sight that could lighten anyone's mood.

Southern Peak was close to Riverton, but the housing prices were different. The best houses in Southern Peak were still cheaper than an average house in Riverton. So, Cornelia didn't think Jeremy's house with a big yard in Southern Peak was anything fancy.
