Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1318

Chapter 1318 

Jarvis asked, “Do you need a reason to like someone?” 

Comella replied, “Don’t you?” 

Having put his feelings out in the open, Jarvis wasn’t going to hide them anymore, “I’ve liked you since the moment I saw you, I’ve been into you. for a long time.” 

Cornelia’s eyes widened in surprise, “A long time? How long exactly?” 

Jarvis responded, “Longer than you think. Cornelia. I like you and I want to marry you. If you marry me, I can be the father of your child. He or she can grow up in a complete, happy family.” 

Cornelia stepped back, startled, “Can’t you just keep pretending you don’t have feelings for me?” 

Jarvis answered, “No, I can’t!* 

Cornelia fell silent. Why did she have to expose him? If she had continued pretending to be clueless, there wouldn’t be so many problems now. 

Oh man! What was she supposed to do now? 

Jarvis spoke again, “Cornelia, your father passed away early Think about all the injustices you’ve faced since then, and all the people who’ve called you a fatherless child. You’ve been through all of that, you know how damaging negative comments can be to a young child. Haven’t you suffered enough? Do you want your child to go through the same pain? If you accept me, we can get married, and I promise to treat your child as my own. I also promise that we’ll only have this one child, I won’t ask you to have another baby with me.” 

Jarvis was right. Society wasn’t as accepting of fatherless children as one might hope. After her child was born, people would definitely ask who the father was. And then, the child would ask her. Just like when people asked who her mom was, she’d ask her dad and grandmother, and they’d tell her that her mother had gone to a faraway place. She’d tell her classmates the same thing. But her classmates called her a liar, claiming she didn’t have a mom. She was an abandoned child, and they ostracized her. 

Back then, she didn’t really understand what ostracism meant. Only that apart from Abby and Zack, no one wanted to play with her. 

Jarvis knew Cornelia’s resolve was wavering. He knew it was low of him to say these things, but he had to. Because he knew if he didn’t say it now, he might never get the chance. 

Half a year ago, he promised Grandpa Augustine that he would win Cornelia’s heart in six months, that she would marry him. 

But in these six months, Cornelia had been too busy with work to even notice him. He didn’t have the courage to confess his feelings to her, and all he could do was watch her from afar. Sometimes he’d think, this was enough, as long as she was happy. But deep down, he wasn’t content 

with just that. He wanted more. 

He said, “Cornelia, even if you’re not thinking about yourself, please consider your child. Can you really bear to let your child be called fatherless? Cornelia; you’ve been through this, you know better than I do. I know you’re financially capable, and you would never shortchange your child. But have you considered what your child truly needs?” 

What a child needs was love, and a complete family. 

Cornelia clenched her fists, “Give me a day to think it over, I’ll give you my answer then.” 

Hearing this, Jarvis breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Cornelia was considering his proposal, there was a good chance she’d say yes.
