Chapter 879 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Jeremy, “Come out." “What?” Cornelia’s voice held a mix of curiosity and concern. “I’m outside, in the front yard." Her voice carried a tinge of disbelief. “Where did you say you were?" “I’ve told you before that whenever you need me, I’m here. I keep my promises." It wasn’t long before Jeremy saw Cornelia, phone in hand, peering out of the cabin’s doorway, scanning the surroundings. He stepped forward, ensuring she couldn’t see Zavier hidden in the shadows, and waved toward her. “Look to your right." The nights in the countryside were void of streetlights, plunging the area into darkness, but Cornelia managed to spot him with the faint glow from her phone. Without a moment’s hesitation, she bolted from the yard, sprinting towards him.
- "Easy there; slow down. Don’t trip over,” Jeremy called out, quickening his pace to meet her. Cornelia couldn’t care less. All she knew was that she missed him desperately, longing to be in his arms and to feel him wrap her up tight. Jeremy caught her as she leapt into his embrace, his large hand gently stroking her hair. “Something bothering you?” His voice was deep and soothing, each word a comfort. She nuzzled into his chest. “I just really missed you, that’s all." He tightened his hold. “I missed you too." “Really, you two, flaunting your love in front of me? Get a room." Zavier’s voice suddenly cut through the night, startling Cornelia. She whirled around, and upon confirming it was indeed Zavier, she stumbled backwards in shock.
- "You... how are you here?" She dared not even glance towards the cabin, naively hoping Zavier wasn’t aware of Skyler’s presence. “I followed you,” Zavier stated matter-of-factly. Cornelia mentally cursed herself. She had been so careful about coming to see Skyler, yet somehow she hadn’t managed to shake off Zavier’s surveillance. Jeremy held her close. “Cornelia, don’t listen to his nonsense. It’s not your fault. The people he sent to find Skyler spotted her. He just came to check it out and ran into you by chance." Cornelia was not only filled with self-reproach but also terrified for Skyler. Living so freely now, Skyler would surely meet a grim fate if Zavier took her back.
