Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 870

Marcus held Cornelia tight, about to tell her that this was no dream, but he couldn't bear to shatter her illusion, hoping she could savor a few more minutes of joy.

Cornelia lifted her head from his chest, saying, "I need to see my grandma. If I don't see for myself that she's okay, I won't be able to rest easy."

Marcus held her tighter, unwilling to let her go. "Cornelia, don't."

Cornelia gave him a smile, planting a kiss on his cheek. "I'm just going to check on my grandma. Once I see she's fine, I'll come back and we can cuddle in bed. What's got you all worked up?"

But Marcus still wouldn’t let go, "Cornelia..."

She raised a hand to his face, gently pinching his cheek and smoothing his furrowed brow. "Tell me, what's bothering you? We're husband and wife, we need to talk about things. You can't keep secrets from me."

Cornelia’s calmness only added to Marcus' worries. He knew that sooner or later, she would find out that her grandma had passed away. This wasn't her dream. But he preferred to break the news himself rather than have her hear it from someone else. "Cornelia, this is not a nightmare. Granny Rebecca has passed away."

Cornelia immediately flared up. "What the hell are you talking about! I'm warning you, even as a couple, there are certain things you can't just spout off. If you keep talking rubbish, I'm going to be pissed."

Marcus knew she was in denial, refusing to accept that Granny Rebecca was gone. She thought everything happening was just a dream. She convinced herself that once she woke up, all the bad things would be gone, and that her grandma would still be there, nagging her to have kids with a smile.
