Chapter 555 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Both Grandpa Duran and Hannah noticed something off about Steven, their eyes shifting towards him. Steven, a bit out of it, lifted Hannah’s cup, taking a sip of juice, and asked, “Old Duran, when did you get here?” Grandpa Duran asked, “What’s up with you?” Steven replied, “I’m fine.” Grandpa Duman, still puzzled, asked, “Are you really okay?” Steven explained, “Maybe I just didn’t get much sleep last night. I’m feeling a bit out of sorts today” Whether or not that was the reason, Grandpa Duran didn’t press further, “Since you’re all here, let’s head to the Capital together and witness me acknowledging Comelia as my granddaughter” Comelia feeling tense, lightly tugged at Marcus’s sleeve. However, Marcus didn’t help, instead responding. “Sure, let’s head to the Capital now. The sooner we get the acknowledgment ceremony done, the better.” Comelia gave him a glare, then turned to Grandpa Duran, “Grandpa Duran, this is a big deal, don’t you want to think this over?
• Don’t act on impulse and bring back someone who might bring you bad luck.” Grandpa Duran replied, “I’m not being impulsive. I’ve been thinking about this since our last meeting. Isn’t this long enough? Also, who said you’d bring me bad luck?” Cornelia whispered, “My relatives did not end up well” She wasn’t superstitious, but the events that kept happening to her made her worry. She was worned she might bring Grandpa Duran bad luck. Grandpa Duran comforted her, “If you put it that way, then I’ve brought my wife and son bad luck too. Let’s see who can bring more bad luck after we acknowledge each other.” Hearing Grandpa Duran’s words, Cornelia felt a bit relieved, “Grandpa Duran” Grandpa Duran asked, “Are you still scared?” Comelia shook her head, “Not anymore.” Grandpa Duran, “Then let’s head to the Capital now” Cornelia looked at Marcus. “How’s Zavier? How is Skyler’s funeral going?”
• Marcus patted Cornelia’s head, “The Blue family and the Rivera family are here. They’ll handle Skyler’s funeral. As for Zavier, I’ll pretend I never knew him.” Cutting ties with a long–time friend was sure to be heart–wrenching. Comelia hugged Marcus, “Don’t be too upset” Marcus replied, “I still have Steven and Lucas.” Cornelia whispered, “Steven seems off today. Do you know what’s wrong?” Marcus replied. “He seems simple, but he’s deep. I can’t read his mind” Cornelia took a deep breath. Marcus asked, “What’s up?” Cornelia asked, “Are you really okay with me going to the Capital?” Marcus replied, “Grandpa Duran adores you Him acknowledging you as his granddaughter is a good thing. Why wouldn’t you go?” Cornelia said, “But I’m worried” Marcus comforted her, “Relax.” Grandpa Duran was very displeased, “There are so many people here, and you two are whispering about what?” Grandpa Duran continued, “Comelia, just a heads up, you’ve agreed to be my granddaughter. No take backs.” Comelia responded, “Grandpa Dumn, a promise is a promise. But, could you perhaps give me a few more days to mull it over?”
