Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 123

It was the night before a snowy day, and the weather was extra cold. Yet, his body was so warm, like a portable heater. Cornelia, with her frozen nose, snuggled closer to him.

Her face was right against his heart, and Marcus's heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.

It was the first time a girl had been so close to him, close enough for him to feel her breath, heartbeat, and touch her soft body.

Luckily, this girl was his registered wife, the one he was meant to protect for the rest of his life.

Marcus hugged her a little tighter and involuntarily slowed down so he could hold her a little longer.

But the girl in his arms mumbled, "Abby, you're so warm!"

She was drunk, which was why she snuggled up to him and mistaken him for someone else.

Anger rushed to Marcus's head and he said, "No more drinking."

"I was happy today, so I had a few more drinks. I won't drink anymore, except for social events." She rubbed against him, "Abby, Zack, I have to tell you, I made a new friend today. "

As she spoke, she let out another drunken hiccup.

Marcus frowned, "Who's the new friend?"

"How cold!" She shivered in his arms and didn't respond, as if what she had just said was sleep talk.

Worried about her getting too cold, Marcus didn't waste any more time and sped up.

As he carried Cornelia back to the villa, Ben happened to come out of a room.

With courage, Ben approached Cornelia's door, thinking he should kick it open like a hero and rush in to scold President Hartley.

But when he got to the door, his legs were shaking.

For the first time, he realized how cowardly he was.

It wasn't that he was a coward, but if it had been anyone but President Hartley in that door, he would have rushed in to save Cornelia.

While Ben was lost in thought outside, Marcus was indeed busy in the room.

Cornelia was afraid of the cold, so she wore a lot of layers. Marcus took off her thick down jacket, revealing a thick sweater underneath.

The sweater was a pullover, not easy to remove. He accidentally touched her soft chest while taking it off, and his usually calm face instantly turned red.
