Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 1480

Chapter 1480 

Lucas said, “It’s freezing, there’s coffee inside, let’s go in and chat over a cup.” 

Zavier responded, “You should ask Jeremy if he’d like to join me for coffee.”O 

Lucas gave him a nudge. “If you wanna know about Skyler, then be serious.” 

Zavier retorted, “You think he’d give me the time of day if I said it like that?” 

Without another word, Lucas dragged Zavier inside. “Jeremy, don’t mind his nonsense.” 

Jeremy ignored them, turning to Cornelia with a sudden softness in his voice and expression. “Did I scare you?” 

Cornelia nodded. “A little.” 

The memory of Zavier pointing a gun at her in the airport was still fresh in her mind. To say she wasn’t scared would be a lie. 

Jeremy reached out and gently enveloped her and Hope in his arms. “Cornelia, as long as I’m here, nothing will happen. Don’t be scared.” 

Cornelia snuggled into his chest. “I know. With you by my side, I’m not scared of anything. Look, even Hope isn’t scared.” 

Hope, nestled in her arms, blinked his big, curious eyes, looking so adorable it made one want to take a bite. 

Jeremy couldn’t resist gently touching Hope’s tiny nose. “Hope, you’re a boy. You need to be brave and strong so you can help Daddy protect Mommy, okay?” 

Cornelia chided, “He’s still so small. Don’t start with that.” 

Jeremy replied, “It’s never too early to start preparing. By the time he’s grown, it’ll be too late.” 

Cornelia argued, “What age do you think we’re living in? I don’t want Hope to protect me. I just want him to grow up healthy and happy.” 

Jeremy kissed her forehead resignedly. “Well, can you watch Hope for a bit? I need to have a word with Zavier.” 

Cornelia nodded. “Sure, I’ll take care of Hope. You go and do your thing.” 

Cornelia didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Hope usually, so it could be a bit tiring. Fortunately, Hope was a good boy who rarely fussed or cried. 

“Hope, be good to Mommy, okay? Don’t make her worry or tire her out, got it?” Having said that, Jeremy left. 

Once he was gone, Cornelia remembered Rosie. Turning around, she saw Rosie looking surprised with her mouth agape. 

Cornelia asked, “Rosie, what’s wrong?” 

Rosie blurted out, “Was that the former CEO of the Hartley Group who was just talking to you?” 

Cornelia laughed, “Yeah, that’s him.” 

Rosie confessed, “I always knew your husband loved you, but I never knew he was so sweet to you. Do you realize how charming he looked holding you? I’m falling for him.” 

Cornelia teased, “Keep talking like that and Lucas will get mad.” 

Rosie replied, “I saw it clearly. The way he looks at you… it’s so intense. It’s like you’re the only person in the world to him.” 

Cornelia knew that Jeremy was just like that. But she modestly said, “You have Lucas who loves you just as much, why envy others?” 

Rosie pouted. “I don’t.” 

She sighed, then continued, “Lucas may seem sweet to me, but he’s actually quite domineering. He arranges everything so perfectly, leaving me no room for choice.” 

Cornelia advised, “Then talk to him about it. Ask him not to be like that.” 

Rosie answered, “I’ve tried many times, but it’s no use. Your man is better, he always asks for your opinion before doing anything. He loves you, yes, but he respects you more.”
