Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1015

Marcus chuckled, not replying, "Let's head home first."

Cornelia asked, "You're not going to tell me, are you?"

Marcus replied, "I'm hungry, can you whip up something to eat when we get home?"

Seeing he wouldn't say more, Cornelia didn't press, "Alright, let's go."

...

Meanwhile, Brennen's guys managed to locate Dylan again, bringing him to the courtyard where Cornelia had just left.

The two men who found Dylan, the same ones who found Cornelia, were significantly nicer to Dylan, "Mr. Brennen is waiting for you inside, right this way."

Dylan followed them into the courtyard, passing the fountain and finally entering an elegantly decorated dinning hall.

Various mouth-watering dishes were laid out.

Brennen greeted Dylan with a smile, "I know you skipped lunch. I had some dishes prepared for you. Hope you like them."

Dylan sat across Brennen, his face expressionless, "I've done what you asked. Where's Carolina?"

Dylan, an orphan, was raised by Carolina from the orphanage. To him, Carolina was as important as a mother.

Brennen knew this weakness of Dylan, which was why he had taken Carolina hostage.

Knowing Carolina was in danger, Dylan couldn't just ignore it. After some thought, he made a tough decision.

Brennen said, "When you tricked Cornelia into getting into the car, our people would have already returned Carolina to her home. I'm a man of my word. I promised not to hurt her as long as you did what I asked."

Dylan smirked, "Ten years ago, he was a minor, and you were no match for him. Do you think you can snatch his people away from him now?"

Brennen filled his glass again, "Ten years ago, I was caught off guard by his sudden attack. But things are different now. I'm fully prepared. Snatching someone from him should be a piece of cake for me."

Dylan paused for a moment, then asked, "Can you really guarantee my safety?"

Brennen replied, "Whether I can save you or not, you have nothing to lose at this point, why not give it a shot?"

Dylan asked, "You're asking me to gamble with my life?"

Brennen responded, "If you don't try, can you be sure you'll survive?"

Dylan replied, "Maybe I can plead with Cornelia."
