Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 693

Cornelia was quick to say, "Gran, I can walk by myself, I don't need him to help."

Granny Luisa gently patted Cornelia's head. "In Riverton, there's a tradition. The first time a new bride officially enters the house, her husband has to carry her through the front door. It's supposed to symbolize a smooth life thereafter."

These old traditions, Cornelia's hometown of Rosenberg also had them.

For example, on the wedding day, when the groom came to pick up the bride, the bride had to stand on a high place, implying that her status would be higher after marrying into her husband's family.

But now it was a new era, Cornelia naturally didn't buy into all this. Besides, she believed in mutual respect and support between two people. In marriage, both parties were equal, and there was no oppressing each other.

However, since Granny Luisa believed in these things and meant well for her, Cornelia chose to go along with it to keep the old lady from feeling upset.

Marcus didn't believe in these old rules either, but he respected others' beliefs. Besides, carrying his bride was a good thing for him.

He walked over, got to Cornelia in two steps, squatted down halfway, and didn't feel awkward about it at all. "Wifey, hop on."

The word "Wifey" slipped gently, softly into Cornelia's ear, like a stone tossed into her serene heart-lake, slowly raising waves.

The last time Marcus drunkenly called her wifey, she didn't know he was her husband then and kicked him twice in annoyance.

Who would've thought that the second time he called her wifey, there would be so many people watching, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Cornelia blushing, Granny Luisa quickly said, "Nelly, don't be shy! He's your husband. It's his job to carry you. Hop on so he can carry you."
