Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 104

Cornelia didn't want to answer, but Marcus could probably guess her thoughts and insisted on her saying it out loud, "I'm asking you now."

Zack didn't like his girl being "bullied" by others, so he glanced at Marcus, "President Hartley, whether your wife will forgive you or not, you should ask her. My Nelly's words indeed don't count."

Marcus' eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses were sharp and menacing, "Your Nelly?"

When did Cornelia, his wife, become someone else's?

Some hostility was only noticeable between men, and Zack saw Marcus as a dangerous guy, "Yeah, my Nelly, we've known each other since we were kids."

Abigail, who was too distracted by Cornelia's beauty, didn't notice the tension between the two men and continued, "President Hartley, do you want to know how Nelly got her nickname?"

Cornelia was getting a headache, "Abby, President Hartley is so busy, so that he doesn't have time for this."

However, Marcus was very interested in everything about Cornelia, "Go on."

Abigail excitedly said, "When Nelly was about five or six years old, she was thirsty and accidentally drank Granny Rebecca's medicinal alcohol. She got drunk and crawled around the house like a caterpillar. That's when we started calling her that."

"Abby, if you don't shut up, I'll show you what's what tonight," Cornelia threatened. If Abby kept talking, Marcus would know all her embarrassing childhood stories.

Abigail leaned into Cornelia's arms, "I wouldn't mind, but aside from punching me a few times, what else can you do? ... But we can go out and have some fun together."

Cornelia hurriedly covered her mouth... Abigail had never even had a boyfriend, but her mouth was fierce, and there was nothing she wouldn't say.

Usually, when the three of them were together, joking around was harmless, but now there was Marcus.

She pulled out a bench and wiped it over and over with a paper towel, making sure it was clean before saying, "President Hartley, please sit down."

Marcus actually sat down, and Cornelia sat to his left, gesturing for him to use the hot towel brought by the waiter first.

After wiping their hands, Cornelia began to order. She knew Marcus couldn't eat greasy food, so she planned to order some light dishes. Just as she was about to order, Zack came over, "What's the point of eating BBQ if you're going to order light dishes?"

Cornelia said, "Zack, President Hartley can't eat greasy food. Let's just order some light dishes."

Zack looked at Marcus provocatively, "If President Hartley really can't eat greasy food, then let's order some light dishes to go with the BBQ."

Marcus said, "Whatever you guys eat, I'll eat."
