Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 432

Chapter 432

Jeremy: [You’re my wife. If I’m not spending my money on you, then who else should I, right?]

Lots of guys would say this to their wives, but the ones who actually followed through without whining

about it were few and far

between.

Jeremy didn’t just talk the talk, he walked the walk too. Cornelia was so smitten with him: [I’m just

worried that you’re spending all your. money on me and there won’t be enough for your business.]

Jeremy: [Don’t sweat it. I know what I’m doing when it comes to business. Plus, I’m gonna live in this

house too, might as well contribute something. You’re not gonna go all Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on me

and kick me out, are you?]

Comelia: [You big goof, you’re my husband, why would I kick you out? It’s just that I’ve been so

swamped lately and you didn’t reach out either. I totally forgot to ask if you’re back in Riverton.]

Marcus, reading this message, chuckled to himself. The smile in his eyes was so obvious. He replied:

[Soon.]

Leonardo, who was known Marcus since they were kids, saw him smiling for the first time in almost

thirty years of friendship. He didn’t even need to ask, he knew Marcus was chatting with his wife,

“Marc, I’m getting more and more curious about your wife. She’s got you wrapped around her finger,

doesn’t she?”

Marcus, engrossed in his phone, didn’t even acknowledge Leonardo. Maybe when he was talking to

Cornelia, everything else just became white noise.

Leo was at loss of words.

People always joked that Leo put women before his friends, but he had always valued his friends first.

And as for the supposedly woman–averse President Hartley, he was the real ladies‘ man.

Cornelia kept texting Marcus: [When do you think you’ll be back?]

Marcus calculated in his head, making sure the surprise he was preparing for Cornelia could arrive

before their second wedding anniversary, then replied: II promise I’ll be back by our anniversary at the

latest.]

It was mid–April now, and Cornelia and Jeremy’s wedding anniversary was on May 5th. It was not too

long from now, but to Cornelia, it felt like ages. She typed: [I’ve been so busy this past month, but I’ll

have some days off soon. It’d be great if you could come back to Riverton earlier. Then I could see you

sooner.]

Marcus murmured to himself, “Me too,” but texted back: [I’ll try my best.]

Zack leaned in, reading some of the texts, “Is Jeremy stalling his return to Riverton again?”

Cornelia immediately defended Jeremy, “He runs his own small business, it’s normal to be busy. But he

promised me, he’ll be back in Riverton by our second wedding anniversary at the latest.”

Zack said, “What kind of business is he running that’s so busy? Even busier than you, spends less time

in Riverton than you do. Is his business even bigger than the Hartley Group?”

Cornelia asked, “Does being busy have anything to do with the scale of his business?”

Abigail interjected, “Okay, okay, you two stop bickering. Let’s go check out how our house is coming

along.”

And so, they all went off to check out Zack and Abigail’s house.
