Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 913

Hank feigned surprise. "Your husband? You're so young, so I thought you didn't even have a boyfriend yet. I didn't expect you were already married. Where's your hubby from? What does he do?"

The old folks always asked these kinda questions. Hank was a good buddy of Cornelia's late father, so she indulged him. "He's from Riverton. Working in business."

From the moment Hank stepped into the room, he could feel the strong vibes from Marcus, so he was always hesitant to look his way. But now, he mustered up some courage, stole a glance at him and felt even more uneasy. He still plucked up enough courage to pat Marcus on the shoulder. "This young man is quite the looker. You two make a cute couple."

Marcus glanced at the spot where Hank had touched him, looking somewhat displeased.

"Thanks!" Cornelia walked to the side and poured Hank a cup of coffee, "Have a seat and drink some coffee."

Hank sat down, first looking around at the others in the room, then checking his watch.

Zack also came to entertain Hank, "Staying up all night can get tedious. We're playing cards, fancy a game?"

"I don't know how to play. You guys carry on. I'll just watch," Hank waved his hand, then subconsciously checked the time again and looked towards the door.

Zack said, "You're not from Rosenberg, are you? It's my first time seeing someone your age who doesn't know how to play cards."

The folks in Rosenberg loved a good card game, and there were many ways to play. As the older generation's entertainment options were few, card games were quite the hit among them. Almost every older person knew how to play and liked to play. The younger generation, with more forms of entertainment, might not be as into cards anymore, but mostly everyone knew how to play. So, hearing Hank say he didn't know how to play cards surprised everyone.

Hank chuckled, "I wasn't actually born in Rosenberg. I only lived there a few years when I was young, and that's when I met Cornelia's father."

Since he wasn't born in Rosenberg, not knowing how to play cards was understandable.

Zack and the others carried on with their card game, while Hank sat watching.

Even though he was watching them play cards, he was actually keeping an eye on the time and the door. As time passed, his expression became anxious, showing signs of unease.

After sitting for maybe half an hour, he stood up and said to Cornelia, "I gotta split now. When's your granny's funeral? I'll come by then."
