Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 313

Her brother Marcus is still the same old bossy and domineering dude, no drop of gentleness.

Back then, he only forbade her from hitting the bars and clubs, or mingling with bad company. Now, even her reading comics and novels are under his control.

If this goes on, would he meddle in her love life, even dictate who she marries?

Staying in this house is becoming unbearable.

No, the power dynamics in this house has shifted.

Her sister-in-law, Cornelia, is way more approachable than her brother. From now on, she'll turn to Cornelia for help, let Cornelia deal with Marcus.

Disappointed Briana instantly regained her determination to stand up to Marcus, "Bro, I'm going to see Cornelia now."

Marcus could tell she was plotting against him, but she didn't stand a chance, "Hold on, I need to talk to you."

Briana quickly hid her phone behind her, "You're not planning to snatch my phone, are you?”

He never needed to snatch her phone. He had plenty of ways to make her hand it over. But she's right, she's an adult now, he needed to respect her privacy, no more treating her like a kid. "After we go to the supermarket, find a reason to head home early. I want to stroll around the supermarket alone with Cornelia."

Hearing that he wanted to go to the supermarket with Cornelia and asked her to leave early, Briana felt a pang, "You favor love over family, huh. If you find me annoying, just go shopping with Cornelia yourself. Do you think I'm a tool?"

When Marcus was drunk, all he could think of was his wife. It wasn't hard to understand why he would do things he would never have done before for his wife.

Cornelia looked around and whispered, "Bri, you're here in Paris for the holiday. Why didn't Marcus bring his wife too?"

"You...” Briana realized she almost spilled the beans, she quickly said, "My sister-in-law prefers peace, doesn't like going abroad. My brother gives in to her in everything, so she didn't come."

Cornelia nodded, then raised a long-standing doubt, "I've been with President Hartley for nearly a year but I've never met his wife."

"My sister-in-law doesn't like being in the spotlight. She worries it'll affect her work and life. My brother does his best to protect her. So many people who have met her couldn't recognize she's Marcus's wife." Her brother always complained about her reading all these frivolous stuff. Without all the novels and comics she read, how could she come up with such a good coping strategy?
