Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 30

Marcus said, "The environment here is pretty harsh, and I plan to stay here for a while longer. If you can't adapt to the climate here, I'll have Ayden take you back first."

Cornelia replied, "No problem, I can handle these difficulties."

Marcus called her name deeply, "Cornelia..."

Cornelia asked, "Huh?"

Marcus said, "If something like today ever happens again, you need to protect yourself first."

Cornelia went silent.

She didn't really want to do that, it was just her instinctive reaction at the time.

Maybe it was because she had been working under his leadership for so long that she always considered his feelings first in everything she did.

After a moment of silence, Marcus spoke again, "You're hurt, does your husband know?"

Cornelia shook her head, "I didn't tell him."

Marcus didn't understand, "Why?"

Cornelia explained, "I don't want him to worry."

Marcus understood that it was due to psychological discomfort.

He thought: if his wife hadn't betrayed him and they had maintained a normal husband-wife relationship, if she got hurt and hid it from him, he would definitely be upset.

Marcus threw a glance at Dr. Dawson, who was still preoccupied. Left with no alternative, he kept Cornelia engaged, diverting her from the discomfort, "I'm slightly hungry, let's grab dinner together later."

Cornelia hadn't eaten well that night, and hearing him say that made her even hungrier.

She said, "Alright."

Marcus immediately made a phone call to have the chef prepare dinner.

Marcus asked, "Do you love your husband very much?"

He recalled the night when her husband had come to fetch her, the sweet smile gracing her face, and her soft voice. An uncomfortable tightness seized his heart.

Cornelia smiled at him, "Yes, I love him very much."

She couldn't even remember what her husband looked like. How could she say she "loved him very much"?

However, she didn't intend to explain.

"I'm leaving now, you should rest early." Marcus got up and took the dining cart with him.

He went out onto the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs, but he still couldn't figure out where the trouble in his heart was coming from.

Cornelia might never know that after witnessing Helena's harassment of her that night, Marcus's room light stayed on all night, and Dr. Dawson in the next room never slept either.
