Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 929

Zack continued, "Granny Rebecca's sudden death hit Nelly hard, you know?"

"Yeah, I know," replied Marcus.

"And you're still texting away?!" Zack flared up, not giving Marcus a chance to speak.

He let out a stream of thoughts like a machine gun, "Nelly seemed okay aside from the initial shock of Granny Rebecca's passing. You think just because she's acting fine, she's really fine? Nope! I've known her for over twenty years, I know her better than you. I'm sure, right now, Nelly's going through hell. She might even be sobbing alone under her blanket..."

After Zack's rant, Marcus calmly replied, "What if I was actually texting Cornelia?"

What Zack said was what Marcus had in mind, which was why he sent Cornelia messages and distracted Cornelia with other things. He didn't want to see Cornelia heartbroken more than anyone else.

He couldn't take her pain for her, so all he could do was help her sort out other issues and keep an eye on her mood, so she wouldn't have to suffer alone.

Zack asked somewhat awkwardly, "You're texting Nelly? Why don't I believe that?"

Marcus calmly replied, "Do you matter?"

That hit Zack hard, "I don't matter?"
