Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 304

Ben asked nervously, "President Hartley, did I do something wrong?"

Marcus coldly replied, "Stop sucking up to Cornelia all the time. I can't even get her to notice me, let alone you."

That was a subtle hint at Ben's average looks.

Feeling wronged, Ben said, "President Hartley, when have I been sucking up to Cornelia? Besides, we're both your assistants, we spend more time together than with our families. If we get along well, won't that improve our work efficiency? Why are you blaming me?"

Marcus said, "She's married. You can be nice to her, but not too much."

Ben quickly responded, "But you treat her much better than I do. She's married, and so are you. If you can be nice to her, why can't I?"

Marcus, "It's only natural that I'm good to my wife!"

Ben, a bit dumbfounded, "I didn't say you shouldn't be good to your wife."

Marcus, "Get lost!"

Ben was speechless.

Since he was kicked out, he might as well go. It wasn't his first time being kicked out anyway.

Meanwhile, when Cornelia returned to her room, she didn't immediately pack her bags. She texted Jeremy on her phone, "Jeremy, did you arrange for Marcus to take me to his place?"

Recently, Cornelia had been really busy, barely having enough time to rest, let alone text Jeremy. Jeremy said he was also busy, and they hadn't chatted on WhatsApp for a while.

After sending the message, Cornelia waited a bit before receiving a response from Jeremy, "Yes, I arranged for him to take you to his place. You can stay there without worry. If you need anything, just let him know."

Jeremy, "He hugged you? Called you 'honey'?"

That night in Harbor City, Marcus did indeed drink a bit too much. He vaguely remembered Steven arranging for a driver to take them back to the hotel, and that he and Cornelia went back to the room together, but he couldn't remember what happened after.

He didn't realize his alcohol tolerance was so poor. And he actually did what he had always wanted to do when sober but didn't dare to after getting drunk.

Cornelia said, "Am I supposed to falsely accuse him?"

Jeremy replied, "I didn't mean that. If he offended you, I can apologize on his behalf."

Cornelia said, "I don't need your apology. I just want to ask you, do you think I can still trust him? Can I dare to move in with him?"
