Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 127

Not long after Marcus left, Cornelia woke up.

She had a bunch of messed-up dreams last night, dreaming about a lot of people, and weirdly enough, Marcus was in every one of them.

Cornelia quickly got up and splashed her face with cold water in the bathroom to wake herself up.

She told herself that she could dream about anyone in the future, but she should never dream about Marcus again.

After getting ready, Cornelia went downstairs, thinking she was the first one awake. To her surprise, Marcus was already having breakfast in the dining room on the first floor.

She immediately greeted him, "Good morning, President Hartley!"

"Hmm," Marcus nodded and pointed to the untouched food on the table, "that’s yours."

"Thanks, President Hartley!" Cornelia didn't hold back and started eating as soon as she sat down.

Marcus finished eating first, elegantly wiped his mouth, and noticed that she had resumed her professional attitude towards him, which made him feel a bit stifled, "Where were you last night?"

"Last night?" Cornelia, who had a bit too much to drink, thought for a moment before recalling, "Alvina Lacy invited me to dinner, so I went out with her."

"Who's Alvina Lacy?"

"She's Mr. Lacy's daughter. Yesterday, they invited you to lunch, remember?"

He actually forgot the name of the person he had just met yesterday.

Luckily, Alvina Lacy had already given up on pursuing him.

Marcus didn't remember people's names, but he didn't forget what happened to Cornelia yesterday.

So, the woman who sneakily kissed Cornelia in front of him last night was Alvina Lacy.

Did that woman want to steal his girl because she couldn't have him?

He looked at Cornelia worriedly, "Did she do anything to you?"

She was glad he wasn't her husband; otherwise, she would have been driven crazy by his rotten attitude.

"Why are you not talking now?"

"President Hartley, you said that we should not talk while eating." Cornelia didn't know where she got the courage to talk back to him.

Fortunately, he didn't ask any further. She quickly finished her breakfast, "President Hartley, I'm done eating. I'll go prepare the meeting materials now."

Marcus lit a cigarette, casually said, "Once you're done, finish the conversation we were having just now."

Cornelia was speechless.

What else could she say? She wasn't his wife, so his messed-up love life was none of her business.

"Hmm?" His question was full of pressure.
