Chapter 47 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• “It seems like my granddaughter has quite a position in the family “The old lady’s spirits brightened at the thought of her granddaughter and grandson in–law living a good life. “Alright. III follow your advice. Let’s go to Riverton.” Her grandma agreed right away, and Cornelia was super happy inside, ‘Grandma. Il start arranging it right now? “Hold on, I’ve got something for you “The old lady reached into her pocket, but found nothing. She realized she was wearing a hospital gown and looked around anxiously. “Nelly, where’s my jacket?” “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ve already put it away “Cornelia immediately handed the jacket to her. The old lady opened the jacket and found a big patch inside. She tried to tear it off but couldn’t, “Nelly, help me take this patch off” Cornelia obediently did as she was told, and found a hidden pocket inside, where a bank card was placed.
• “Grandma “Cornelia’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the worn–out bank card in her hand, “I can earn my own money I don’t need yours I just want you to be healthy” “Silly girl what you earn is yours” The old lady patted her head. This money is partly your father’s inheritance and partly your wedding gift from me. You should accept it.” “Alright, Grandma, Itake it “Cornelia knew her grandma’s personality, and if she didn’t accept, her grandma would keep worrying about it. She carefully put the bank card in her bag, thinking about how she could return the money to her grandma in another way. Thats more like it “The old lady smiled, not caring about her own illness at all In her heart, as long as her Nelly was doing well even if she died, there was nothing to be afraid of. As they were chatting, the old lady suddenly changed the subject and started talking about her grandson–in–law, “Nelly, your and Jay have been married for a year and a half now, why haven’t you gotten pregnant yet?” Cornelia was drinking water and choked on it, coughing at her grandma’s question, “Grandma, we’re still young, we don’t need to rush to have a baby” “Jay is 28, and you’re almost 24. How can you say you’re young?” Grandma said seriously, “Although I trust that Granny Luisa raised a good kid, men are naturally playful. Having a baby sooner will settle him down.” Cornelia didn’t want to continue the conversation, “Grandma, it’s late. You should get some rest The old lady asked, “Are you annoyed by my meddling or are you embarrassed about something?” Cornelia fell silent. She and Jeremy hadn’t consummated their marriage, how could she possibly be pregnant? She said, “Grandma, you know I got promoted less than half a year ago. I’m always busy with my boss. How can I have a baby at this time?” The old lady thought about it, “You have a point. Family is important, but girls should also have their own careers and be able to make money so they have a say at home.” Cornelia nodded vigorously, “Exactly, Grandma, you’re a teacher, so you have a different perspective. The old lady pinched her face, “You’re flattering me now, aren’t you?” Cornelia said, “Can’t I praise my amazing Grandma?” The old lady laughed, and in fact, just having Cornelia by her side, even if she didn’t do anything, would make her really happy The grandma and granddaughter chatted for quite a while, and eventually, the old lady grew sleepy After making sure the old lady was sound asleep, Cornelia took out her personal phone. As soon as she turned it on, she saw several missed call notifications, all from Ryan Cornela stepped out of the hospital room and called him back. The moment the call connected, she heard Ryan’s frustrated voice, Ms Stewart, what the hell are you up to?” Cornelia took a deep breath, composed herself, and replied. “Mr. Colwell, please tell Mr. Artis that I can’t go through with the divorce right now” Ryan yelled in anger. Ms. Stewart, we agreed on this! The divorce papers are signed, and we settled on finalizing the divorce today Why are you backing out now?” Cornelia responded. Tjust want to postpone the divorce, not cancel it altogether.” Ryan questioned, “Why the delay?” Cornela quickly explained. “My grandma is sick, and she’s been longing to see her grandson–in–law. If I tell her I’m getting a divorce now, shell be devastated Once her condition stabilizes and she can handle the news, well proceed with the divorce.” Ryan snorted. “Ms Stewart, can we have some decency here? If your grandma wants to see her grandson–in–law, just bring your boyfriend. Why does Mr. Artis have to be involved?”
• “What boyfriend?” Cornelia said, only then remembering that she had impulsively claimed to have a boyfriend while arguing with Ryan at the restaurant yesterday. It was like fretting in her own grease Ryan firmly believed that her grandma’s illness wasn’t the real reason Cornelia was reluctant to divorce. He suspected that she might have found out about Jeremy’s true identity and wanted to get more money out of him by stalling the divorce. “Just name your price!” he said. Cornelia was taken aback, “What price?” Ryan retorted, “What do you want? Don’t you know?” Cornelia replied, “All I want is for my grandma to recover” Ryan scoffed. “Do you really believe that? You don’t love him, so why are you being so stubborn?” His arrogant and sarcastic tone irritated Cornelia, “Our marriage wasn’t built on love. What does it matter if I love him or not?” Ryan was infuriated by her response, “Just tell me how much money you want to get this dworce done.” “I don’t care about his money!” Cornelia fet frustrated talking to a lawyer for the first time and hung up the phone. She could make her own money. Who needed his?! When they got married, it was just to please their grandparents. She had asked him if he wanted to reconsider, but he never did. She thought that even though their marriage wasn’t based on love, they should at least pretend to make their families happy But he disappeared after the registration and only reappeared when he wanted a divorce. And that was when she was being treating like shit by her uncle and aunt. She didn’t need a husband like that! Not knowing how to handle Cornelia, Ryan had no choice but to call Marcus again, “Marc, your wife is really unreasonable. She’s done something scandalous, and now she’s lying about her grandma being sick so she can delay the divorce. But don’t worry, this time I’ll make sure she“” Marcus raised an eyebrow, “Her grandma is sick?” Ryan confirmed, “That’s what she said.” Marcus knew his grandma and that womans grandma were friends, and they both got married for their grandmas sake. That woman might not have been cautious in her personal life. but she wouldn’t use her grandma as an excuse He said, “I transfer some money to her so she can take care of her grandma without any worries. As for the divorce, well talk about it when her grandma gets better”
