Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 711

Chapter 711

After dinner, Granny Luisa and Granny Rebecca exchanged knowing smiles and encouraged Marc and Nelly to call it a night. They secretly wished the couple would give them a grandchild

soon.

Granny Luisa said, “We’re all stuffed and it’s getting late. Marc, why don’t you and Nelly go get some shut–eye? Tomorrow’s Saturday, you guys don’t have to work. You can catch some z’s.”

Cornelia noticed it was late, “Granny, I should head back to my rental.”

Granny Luisa frowned, “Go where? You’re one of us now, a Hartley. We got plenty of space for you, no need to go back to that rental. People might get the wrong idea, and think we don’t treat you right. Nelly, you might not fully get it yet, but this is your home too. In Riverton, newlyweds bunk at the family home for a couple of weeks. It’s tradition.”

Cornelia mumbled, “We’ve been married for two years, not exactly newlyweds.”

Granny Luisa just wanted to keep Cornelia close, “The date on the marriage certificate doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re here tonight as a Hartley for the first time.”

Granny Rebecca chimed in, “You guys can’t stand living with us old folks, huh?”

Granny Luisa said, “Marc, help your wife to the room and get some rest.”

Both grannies‘ intentions were clear as day. Marc, of course, saw right through it. He defended Cornelia, saying, “Grannies, no rush, We’ll handle the baby thing ourselves. No need to pressure Nelly.”

Cornelia shot Marc a grateful look. He always knew how to make her feel secure when it

mattered most.

Granny Luisa felt a bit guilty, “We… we weren’t pressuring Nelly.”

Granny Rebecca noticed Cornelia’s upset expression and felt bad, “Nelly…”

“Grannies, get some rest. I’ll take Nelly for a walk in the yard.” Marc said, then led Cornelia out.

Granny Luisa watched them leave, “Rebecca, did I come on too strong and scare Nelly?”

Granny Rebecca said, “You’re usually so sweet to her; you’ve never raised your voice. She might feel a bit hurt.”

Granny Luisa paced around the room anxiously, “No, no, I can’t let Nelly feel hurt. I need to find a way to apologize, need her to forgive me. I can’t let her hate me.”

Granny Rebecca chuckled, “Our Nelly isn’t one to hold grudges. She might forget by the time she gets back from her walk.”

Granny Luisa said, “Nelly not holding grudges is her being kind. I should still apologize. It’s hot out, I’ll whip up some chilled juice for her when she gets back.”

Granny Rebecca said, “Thank you for treating Nelly so well, for cherishing her like your own granddaughter!”

Granny Luisa said, “She married Marc, of course she’s my granddaughter. If I don’t treat her well, who would I be good to?”

Granny Rebecca was more and more pleased with Marc, “I was a bit reserved towards Marc since they had a divorce scare. I worried he wasn’t truly committed to Nelly, that he was just playing around. But seeing them tonight, all my worries are gone. I can tell Marc takes good care of Nelly. He truly wants to live with her.”

Granny Luisa said, “Nelly is his wife. Of course, he needs to take good care of her. If he doesn’t, I’ll be the first one to make him pay.”

Granny Rebecca said, “With you and Marc and Bri by Nelly’s side, if one day I’m not around, Nelly won’t feel alone.”

Granny Luisa said, “We’re still waiting for Marc and Nelly’s baby. Don’t talk like that, it’s depressing.”

Granny Rebecca gave a bitter smile, “Alright, I’ll stop.”
