Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 370

Cornelia was trying to sneak out, but Marcus wasn't having it. "Remember when Courtney was being a total jerk to you? Don't you wanna get back at her?"

Cornelia sure did. But no matter what issues there were between Courtney and her son, they were still family. And Cornelia was just an outsider. As long as she had a shred of sanity, she wouldn't blurt out, "I'm gonna get back at your mom."

Marcus asked, "Not gonna say anything?"

Cornelia replied, "What do you want me to say?"

Marcus glanced at her swollen nose, "Does your nose still hurt?"

Cornelia didn't expect that question, and after a moment of surprise, she quickly shook her head, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Marcus continued, "If you really can't stand being in the same space as Courtney, you can go about your business once she apologizes to you."

Cornelia didn't believe that the arrogant Courtney would apologize to her, a lowly assistant. However, she didn't want to put Marcus in a difficult position, "President Hartley, I've forgotten about that incident. There's no need for an apology."

Marcus said, "You might have forgotten, but she hasn't."

"Courtney." Courtney arrived, calling out Marcus' name but her gaze landed on Cornelia. She also noticed Cornelia's swollen nose, "Oh my, Cornelia, what happened to your nose? Does it hurt? Do you need a doctor? Marc, have you had a doctor check on her?"

Not until Cornelia left, did Courtney turn her gaze back to Marcus. When she saw the apron he was wearing, she couldn't hide her surprise and confusion.

She reproached, "Marcus, you used to guard your screening room like a treasure, no one could enter without your permission, and now you're letting her dine there. You used to hate the smell of cooking, no one was allowed to cook at home, and now you're cooking. You haven't even been with her for a year, and you've made so many changes for her. Aren't you afraid she'll become more and more demanding, maybe even disrespectful to you?"

"As long as she wants to, I'll let her, and I can even give in for her." The warmth in Marcus' eyes was gone, and when he looked at Courtney, his gaze was icy cold again, "And she's not an outsider, she's my lawful wife. Her name is Cornelia!"

Courtney was stung by Marcus' words, but she couldn't show it, "Marcus, I didn't know she was your wife, that's why I had someone talk to her. If I'd known she was your wife, I wouldn't have done that."
