Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 283

Marcus didn’t want to hear Cornelia explain one more time that she wasn’t his wife. So, he stepped in to stop her.

Cornelia mistook his interruption for impatience, so she quickly waved goodbye to the girl and hurried to catch up with him.

This trip was personal for Marcus, not work-related, so Cornelia didn’t arrange for company staff to pick them up. Instead, she rented a business car from a rental company.

Cornelia knew Marcus well. He didn't like to stand out when he was out and about. If it weren't for his good looks, no one would notice him.

Like his clothes, never with a big brand logo. Even insiders might not realize they were custom-made.

Cornelia didn’t realize that as they got into the car, Hayden Ruff’s luxury car passed by them.

Hayden Ruff, in a lousy mood, noticed them and instructed his assistant, "Find out who owns that business car."

"Yes, sir." His assistant made a quick phone call.

Before long, the assistant got the info, "Mr. Ruff, the car is from a rental company, rented today by a woman named Cornelia."

"Cornelia?" So, that was her name. Nice name, but she shouldn't have crossed him, Hayden Ruff. "Find out which hotel she's staying at."

Before, Hayden Ruff was cautious, thinking that the man with the strong aura was someone important. But now, knowing they could only afford to rent a car, and a plain business car at that, Hayden Ruff decided the man was just a nobody.

In Harbor City, everyone but the Dixons had to make way for him, Hayden Ruff.

Soon, the assistant reported with a troubled look, "Mr. Ruff, they're staying at a hotel owned by the Dixon family. We couldn't find out anything about the man."

Hannah was an actress, and Cornelia often saw her gown styles on TV. Each one had a different kind of beauty, so Hannah standing out didn't surprise Cornelia.

What surprised her was Rosie, who usually seemed so gentle and elegant, was transformed into a dazzling beauty in her gown, impossible to ignore.

Their male companions were like protectors, always closely following them. Whenever someone's gaze landed on Hannah and Rosie, Steven and Lucas's eyes became stern, as if ready to attack.

Steven saw Cornelia and Marcus first. He walked over with Hannah and his drink, "Marc, I thought you weren't interested in attending tonight. What changed your mind?"

Marcus took a drink from a waiter, swirled it casually, "Just felt like it."

Steven glanced at Cornelia, "Marc, we're all dressed formally. Why is Cornelia in work clothes? If you can't afford a dress, let me know. I can buy one for her."
