Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 126

"Could it be that I really have the potential to be a bad girl like you said? I mean, I find some guys really attractive at first sight, and now I'm having such scary dreams?" She seemed to think of something funny and laughed, "I'm not gonna have weird dreams again, am I?"

No wonder she stared at him on her first day with him, finding him familiar but couldn't remember who he was.

He almost missed her back then, but luckily he decided to keep her around in the end.

"Abby, tell me, am I really annoying?"

"Who said you're annoying?"

"If I'm not annoying, then why does everyone leave me?" She frowned, as if plunged into painful memories, "My mom, my dad, that person, and Jeremy."

Hearing her mention his name, Marcus felt a mix of emotions.

He stroked her forehead, "Don't worry, Jeremy will never leave Cornelia, never."

She didn't listen to him, just kept spilling her deepest secrets, "I've been studying and working so hard, I didn't do anything wrong, so why does everyone blame me?"

"You did nothing wrong. It's those who hurt you are wrong."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Hearing the affirmation, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she gradually drifted off to sleep.

Marcus sat by her bed, playing with her soft hair.

After a while, she seemed startled by something and snuggled into his arms.

"Don't be scared." He whispered soothingly, staying with her in that position until dawn.

"That's right, no matter who breaks the law, don't be afraid." Ben kept building himself up mentally.

After Marcus went back to his room, washed up, and changed clothes, he saw Ben still pacing on the second floor, "What are you mumbling about?"

"You despicable scoundrel, you'd even hurt your own subordinate. You don't deserve to know what I'm thinking!" Ben really wanted to curse at Marcus

, but as soon as he met Marcus' gaze, he chickened out, "No, nothing, President Hartley, I'll get back to work."

As he tried to escape on his weak legs, Marcus called out to him, "Cornelia is someone I want to protect, I won't hurt her."

Ben believed him again, as long as Marcus said so, he would trust him. After all, following Marcus for so many years, he had always been very upright in these matters, "I knew President Hartley wouldn't do such a thing, I was just being overly suspicious."

Marcus: "Get lost!"
