Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 54

Ding dong ding dong

Cornelia’s phone received a Skype request

It was Zack calling Cornelia answered the call, and before adjusting the volume, she heard his loud greeting. “Where the heck are you? Aren’t you coming home tonight?”

Cornelia quickly lowered the volume. “Oops, my bad I meant to tell you guys earlier, but I got sidetracked by some stuff.”

Marcus couldn’t hear the other side of the call, but he heard Cornelia patiently soothing the person on the other end

Could her marriage not be as happy as he thought?

Cornelia comforted them for a while before Zack and Abigail finally relaxed. After the call ended, she faced Marcus‘ gaze again.

She felt a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Marcus it another cigarette and slowly said in the flickering light, “Has that person always been so nasty to you?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well” Cornelia shook and nodded, “Not really It’s just a way we communicate with each other. The better our relationship, the more we act like this. We’re polite to those we don’t have a good relationship with.”

Polite when the relationship wasn’t good?

Like how she treats him now?

She always greeted him with a smile, no matter when or where they were.

Realizing this, Marcus felt even more annoyed, “How did you guys meet?”

He didn’t mention names, but Cornelia knew whom he was asking about, “We met through a blind date.”

“A blind date?” Marcus thought of his marriage, which also started with a blind date.

If things hadn’t gone wrong in the States, and he hadn’t abandoned that person, would his marriage not have been such a failure?.

“Nowadays, young men and women are busy with work and have no time for dating. Blind dates are the fastest, most direct, and most effective way to enter marriage.” Perhaps because they were chatting happily, Cornelia temporarily forgot about Marcus high status and boldly asked him about his personal life, President Hartley, how did you meet your wife?”

He didn’t want to bring her up, but since Cornelia asked, Marcus still answered, “I met her through a blind date as well.”

“You’re so superb and still needed a blind date?” Cornelia asked, then realized that it was because he was so exceptional that he participated in a blind date.

Families like theirs are all about powerful alliances and strong partnerships.

“But don’t be upset, President Hartley. My grandma once told me that two people break up because that’s their fate for this life. If they are meant to be, they’ll be husband and wife again in the next life or the one after that.”

“Really?” He puffed his cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and then called her seriously. ‘Cornelia, remember what I told you.”

Cornelia asked, “What did you say?”

Marcus put out his cigarette, looked at her, and said, “Whether it’s life or work, don’t forget you’re my assistant. No one will bully my people. You don’t have to be afraid of Natalia, nor the Reese family behind her.”

Suddenly, something seemed to gently knock on Cornelia’s heart, a strange feeling she couldn’t describe,

It’s bittersweet.

“As long as you’re working by my side, the Hartley Group will always protect you. He said again, his voice still low and powerful, “Got it?”

‘Got it. Thank you, President Hartley!” Cornelia remembered this clearly.

No wonder he got angry at lunch today, saying she had never really remembered what he said. He had heard everything Natalia said.

Marcus suddenly reached out to touch her hair but eventually held back because of his status and withdrew his hand.

Marcus cleared his throat and said, “It is late, go back and rest.”
