Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 286

Abigail Young was hooked on this TV show, watching it daily, and even Cornelia, who caught a few snippets with her, found the male lead's acting cringe-worthy, with his perpetually stiff expressions.

When Cornelia asked how Abigail could endure watching it, Abigail responded, "Who needs good acting in a love story? As long as the guy is hot, the girl is pretty, and the plot is dreamy enough, that's all that matters."

Despite having finished the show, Abigail continued to be infatuated with this male star, often engaging in activities such as analyzing his popularity and purchasing products he endorsed. In her eyes, he was undeniably attractive and held a top-tier status.

As the male star made his entrance, bathed in the glow of stage lights and greeted by thunderous applause, Cornelia joined in the clapping. However, due to her distant position, she couldn't get a clear view of his face.

Curiosity piqued, Cornelia couldn't resist leaning forward, hoping to catch a glimpse of the rumored handsome actor. Just as she did so, Marcus's irritated voice reached her ear, "What are you looking at?"

Cornelia answered honestly, "I'm trying to see if the guy on stage is as good-looking as Abigail claims."

Marcus reminded her, "You're married, remember?"

Cornelia thought Marcus was being overly intrusive. Even Jeremy, who was known for being overprotective, never bothered her like this. "President Hartley, since when does being married mean I can't appreciate other men's looks?"

Marcus remained silent, his expression inscrutable. Unaware of his reaction, Cornelia took out her phone, zoomed in ten times using the camera, and finally managed to get a good look at the male actor Abigail deemed to be a top-tier heartthrob.

Cornelia felt maybe she was too used to seeing Marcus's face, and having hunks like Steven, Lucas and Zavier around, so she thought the actor looked quite average.

The thought of secretly taking a picture of Marcus scared Cornelia, "If I sneak a picture of him and make it public, I might not just lose my job, I might be in danger."

At that moment, Cornelia stole a glance at Marcus, only to find him looking at her seriously.

She was startled, he must've thought she was going to sneak a picture of him, he couldn't have seen her messages.

Cornelia quickly turned off her phone, pretending to be engrossed in the performance on stage.

Marcus's deep voice filled her ear again, this time it wasn't sexy or gentle, it was almost like he was gritting his teeth, "Is that guy really that attractive?"
