Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 134

He didn't even bother to ask her or give her a chance to explain, just assumed she was unfaithful .

With no basic trust between them, Cornelia felt there was no need for their marriage to continue.

Before waiting for Jeremy's reply, Cornelia texted back: "Jeremy, thanks for telling me the truth! Actually, this mess isn't just your fault; I'm to blame too. Marriage ain't a game, but we both messed up and treated it like one. Let's just put an end to this mistake."

After sending the message, Cornelia put down her phone and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Her mind drifted back to that rainy night years ago, remembering the cold and emotionless voice of that man: "Cornelia, I know everything you've done. Our family can't take this shame. If we ever meet again, just pretend you don't know me!"

Suddenly, Cornelia laughed.

What did these people take her for?

Someone they could toss away at will?

They'd throw her away like trash when they thought she was dirty, and pick her back up for fun when they thought she was clean again.

All these years, she had worked hard to become independent, to live a good life without relying on a man.

No one could hold her hostage with their so-called morals anymore.

Just as Marcus said, she hadn't done anything wrong.

Meanwhile, after reading Cornelia's message, Marcus smoked one cigarette after another.

From the day he found out Cornelia was his wife, he knew she wouldn't easily forgive Jeremy.

"I want to make up with my wife."

"You can't be playing both sides."

Marcus disagreed with Steven's accusation, "Playing both sides? When did I ever waver?"

He had always wanted to live a good life with his wife.

If not for the misunderstanding of mistaking someone else for her, maybe he would have already brought her home instead of living separately in the same building.

Steven laughed, "You're attracted to your assistant while trying to make up with your wife. If that's not wavering, what is?"

"The feelings I have for my assistant are not what you think," Marcus explained that his appreciation for his assistant, Cornelia, was due to her impeccable work ethic.
