Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1351

Chapter 1351

Goldie had been prepped about how to handle Cornelia, so she wasn’t completely in the dark. But facing Cornelia’s

assertive questioning, she felt a bit jittery, “Cornelia, I own this house and I’m not hiding anything.”

Cornelia looked at Goldie calmly, “Goldie, look me in the eyes and say that again.”

Goldie looked at her, feeling a bit guilty, but she bit the bullet, “Cornelia, what’s your deal? Has someone been

whispering in your ear? Sit down and let’s chat.”

Cornelia chuckled, “Maybe I’m overthinking.”

Goldie asked. “Overthinking about what?”

Cornelia shrugged it off, “Nothing.”

Goldie paused, then offered, “Why don’t you stay over? We can have a good talk tonight.”

“No need for that. I’ll head home.” Cornelia turned and slowly walked out.

Her steps were slow. Each one was heavy obviously, like she was walking on lead.

When she left Goldie’s house, she stumbled with her whole body swaying. Goldie immediately reached out to

support her, “Comelia, let me walk you home.”

Cornelia waved her off, “It’s okay, I can manage to walk.”

After a few steps, Cornelia slowly squatted down and glanced back.

Ensuring Goldie wasn’t looking, she suddenly collapsed in the snow with her eyes shut. She was playing possum. If

her hunch was right, the man behind was Marcus. If he saw her collapse, he’d definitely show.

Snow was falling and the ground was cold. Even bundled up with layers, lying on the ground, Cornelia was

surrounded by the chill But she couldn’t move. She didn’t know what else she could do to make him appear.

Next, she heard Goldie’s shriek, “Cornelia!”

Then, she heard footsteps. Footsteps were approaching from a distance, definitely not Goldie’s.

Definitely a man’s footsteps. Could it be Marcus? Could it be him? Cornelia didn’t know.

Her heart was pounding, nearly in her throat. She heard the footsteps getting closer, then stopping beside her.

The next second, a strong hand grasped her wrist. Cornelia immediately struggled, gripping the hand, “Jeremy, you

can’t escape.”

But when she opened her eyes, she didn’t see the man she expected.

Ayden was a bit embarrassed, “Cornelia, it’s me.”

Cornelia held his hand, using it to stand up. Her disappointment was obvious, “Why are you here? Where’s

Marcus?”

Ayden replied, “Marcus had me protect you long ago. After your divorce, he didn’t send me back, so…”

Cornelia didn’t believe him, “He is the real owner of this villa, isn’t he? Tell him to come out and meet me, I have

questions.”

Ayden responded, “I’ve been by your side, so I’m not sure what’s going on with him.”
