Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 272

Briana had no intention of wrapping her head around these complex matters. With a dismissive wave of her hand, she said, "Nah, I don't wanna learn. Teach Cornelia. She wants to learn, and you want to teach. Don't drag me, the non-student type into this."

"You have to learn." Marcus turned towards Cornelia. He looked at her gently and said, "If you want to learn, let's learn together."

Cornelia was all too happy to accept this attention. She hopped up excitedly, "I really want to. Mr. Hartley, could you wait for me for two minutes? I'm going to get my pen and notebook."

"Go ahead." Watching her retreating figure, Marcus's mood also became brighter.

Just the fact that she could study with him made her incredibly happy, she was such an easily contented person.

Briana was forced into a state of studying. Whenever she had to study, she would feel sleepy. But Cornelia was very serious about her studies, not only listening attentively but also taking notes, like an exemplary student. Briana watched as the two of them, one seriously explaining, the other seriously listening. Their attention was all focused on the ancient book, fully engrossed, completely oblivious to her slacking off.

Sneakily, she took out her comic book to continue reading, occasionally stealing glances at Marcus, afraid that he might discover she wasn't paying attention.

What she didn't know was that she was just an excuse for Marcus to get close to Cornelia. He really only wanted to teach Cornelia.

"Mr. Hartley, I don't recognize this word." Cornelia pointed to an unfamiliar ancient character, looking at him with hopeful eyes, "Can you help me identify it?"

Marcus leaned towards her naturally. He once again caught a whiff of her unique scent. She didn't wear any perfume, so why did she always smell faintly sweet?

Cornelia didn't want to dwell on this issue. She had no position to judge the right or wrong of the people in the story. After all, she wasn't the one involved, didn't know the situation at the time, and couldn't understand the whole event from a few words.

"Cornelia." Marcus suddenly called her name.

Cornelia looked up at him, always feeling that she saw something in his eyes. But his emotion disappeared too quickly, so fast that Cornelia doubted whether she saw wrong.

"Come with me to the Elite Auctions in Harbor City tomorrow." Marcus hadn't forgotten that tomorrow was the day Jeremy would return to Riverton, and Jeremy couldn't meet Cornelia for the time being. He could only take Cornelia away when Jeremy returned to Riverton, so as not to let them meet.

"Alright. I'll get ready right away." Cornelia knew that the Elite Auctions was a famous charity auction held by the elites of Harbor City, but she didn't know what items would be auctioned. So she had to prepare in advance to allow Marcus to bid for his favorite items while donating.
