Chapter 64 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Marcus, holding Cornelia’s hand, greeted Old Mr. Abner with a smile. “Thanks for the compliment, Old Mr. Abner This is my wife, Cornelia Cornelia, this is Old Mr. Abner, a good friend of mine and my life mentor” It’s really an enviable friendship for the two to become close friends despite their age gap of over sixty years In the face of this beautiful friendship, Cornelia’s embarrassment of holding Marcus’s hand vanished, and she sweetly said, “Hello, Oki Mr. Abner” “Cornelia, my dear, it’s nice to meet you” Old Mr. Abner, who is almost a hundred years old, sees Cornelia as a young child compared to his granddaughter if you don’t mind, feel free to come over often” Im happy to meet you too!” Cornelia shook hands with Old Mr. Abner, only to have her hand taken by Marcus again. Cornelia thought. Do real couples always need to hold hands like this? Isn’t it a bit too obvious and likely to give us away?”
• Old Mr. Abner looked at the couple holding hands tightly and cheerfully said, ‘Kids, it’s cold outside. Come in quickly Old Mr. Abner genuinely liked Cornelia After entering the house, he took out a gift box he had prepared earlier “Cornelia, my dear, this is a gift for you. I hope you two have a happy marriage Cornelia wanted to refuse, but considering her role as the president’s wife at the moment, she had to accept it. Thank you, Old Mr. Abner!” Old Mr. Abner continued, “Open it and see if you like it. If you dont like this gift, tell me what you want, and I’ll get it for you.” Cornelia felt embarrassed to open the gift meant for her boss’s wife, so she looked to Marcus for help “Old Mr. Abner wants you to open it, just do it. Don’t be shy Marcus took the box and opened it himself. Inside the box lay a beautiful and transparent jade bracelet. Cornelia could tell it was valuable at first glance Fortunately, the gift didn’t really belong to her. “Thank you, Old Mr. Abner 1 really like it.” Old Mr. Abner smiled and said. “Then put it on.” Cornelia fett even more embarrassed and looked to Marcus for help again. But instead of helping her out, Marcus took the bracelet and put it on her wrist himself, nodding in satisfaction. “Hmm, it looks great on you.” Cornelia thought, “Next time there’s an event where I have to play the role of his wife, Ill definitely hire a professional actress, regardless of the time it takes. I can’t do this myself just to Save time”
• “Let’s go to eat “Old Mr. Abner led them to the backyard cabin, where a roasting table was set up in the middle with a pot of wine warming on it and ingredients ready to be grilled. Eating grilled meat and drinking wine around a roasting stove in the cold winter is indeed a wonderful thing. Before going to college, Cornelia used to celebrate Christmas with her grandmother, eating grilled meat and chatting around a stove in the living room. But after she went to Riverton University, she hadn’t spent Christmas with her grandmother for several years, and she hadn’t enjoyed those moments since. Now, seeing each other again feeled like they’ve been apart for a century. The warm–hearted Old Mr. Abner said, “Cornelia, it’s just the three of us today, so feel free to make yourself comfortable” Old Mr. Abner was very considerate, worried that the couple might not feel at ease at his home. So after the servants prepared lunch, he let them go home and rest. “Alright Cornelia took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to grill the meat.
