Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 292

Cornelia was left hanging, clutching her phone until she fell asleep, without any reply from Jeremy.

That night, Cornelia had a restless sleep filled with all sorts of weird dreams.

She dreamt about her childhood days playing with Zack, her university years, and Marcus.

Marcus in her dreams was particularly horrifying. He took off his daily disguise, morphing into a man-eating monster. He opened his mouth wide, inching closer and closer, ready to swallow her whole.

Cornelia woke up with a start, momentarily disoriented about where she was.

After gathering her bearings, she looked around and remembered she was in a hotel.

Daylight had already broken, with the sun's rays filtering into the room through the curtains.

She checked her phone and it was already 9 in the morning.

There was an unread message on her phone. It was from Jeremy, sent a bit past 6 in the morning, "Cornelia, I'm sorry! I fell asleep last night and didn't manage to reply to your message."

Seeing his message, Cornelia felt a pang of disappointment. She wanted to share what happened last night with him, but also didn't want him to worry.

Besides, Marcus had mistaken her for someone else because he was drunk. He didn't mean to offend her.

In a restrained tone, Cornelia replied, "I'm not upset."

Suddenly, Marcus handed her a box and said, "This is for you."

At the sight of the box, all her pent-up frustrations erupted, and she couldn't hold back anymore. "President Hartley, I know you're wealthy, but there are some things that money can't buy."

Concerned, Marcus asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Despite her outburst, Marcus remained composed and looked at her with a gentle expression. It felt as if she were striking a soft pillow, unable to release her built-up frustration. With a sigh, she muttered, "Nothing."
