Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 778

After her father's death, Cornelia couldn't sleep at night. Even when she did manage to doze off, nightmares would jolt her awake. Only when she was nestled in her grandma's arms, listening to her lullabies, could she get a bit more sleep.

"Grandma..."

"Mhm?"

"Grandma..."

"Nelly, I'm here..." Granny Rebecca knew what Cornelia was getting at. Every time she called out, Granny Rebecca would answer, doing everything she could to soothe her.

"Grandma, let's go to sleep."

"Alright, let's sleep."

Perhaps because she felt at ease, it didn't take long before Cornelia fell asleep.

Granny Rebecca looked at her resting face, lightly stroking it. "Silly girl, so many years have passed and you haven't changed a bit. When you're scared, you still want to sleep with grandma."

Granny Rebecca shifted slightly due to an uncomfortable sitting position, and this movement made Cornelia suddenly open her eyes and mumble, "Grandma..."

"Grandma's here, Nelly dear. Go back to sleep."

"Grandma, you can't leave me alone, please..." In her dream, Cornelia was still murmuring, clutching tightly onto her grandma's clothes, scared that she would leave her.

"Silly girl!" Granny Rebecca sighed.

...

Maybe it was her grandma's scent, or the comfort of her embrace, but Cornelia slept deeply this time, only waking up in the afternoon. She opened her eyes to two huge faces in front of her, which made her jolt upright. "Grandma, Patricia, what are you guys doing here?"
