Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 442

Marcus responded, "Nah, I didn’t."

Steven asked, "Cool. You been busy lately? If not, we can organize a little get-together, chill out a bit."

Marcus nodded, "Sounds good."

After dinner, Cornelia and Abigail planned to hitch a ride with Zack. Marcus stopped Cornelia again, "Cornelia, let me take you home. I've got something to chat with you about."

Cornelia found Marcus a bit odd tonight, like he was constantly hovering around her, "President Hartley, just spill the beans. No need to go out of your way to take me home."

Marcus's home was on the east side and Cornelia lived on the west; she didn't want him to detour.

"Get in the car." Marcus pulled open the door, insisting.

Cornelia figured Marcus was adamant to take her home, probably hoping to get some pictures taken to better protect his wife. So, she decided to play along.

In the car, Marcus didn't talk, and Cornelia didn't know what to say. When they arrived at her place, Cornelia said, "President Hartley, thanks for the ride. I'm gonna head in now."

"Cornelia," Marcus called her name, his gaze lingering on her, "I never intended to use you. I didn't think this through tonight."

Even after finishing his smoke, he still felt annoyed. He lit one after another, his mood getting worse and worse. He didn't understand what was going on.

He flicked away the ashes, looked up and saw the lights in Cornelia's 15th floor apartment were on. He saw her closing the window.

Seeing her, his mood improved a bit. He pulled out his personal phone, opened WhatsApp. He found Cornelia's chat and sent a message: [Cornelia.]

After thinking for a while, Cornelia typed a lot of words: [Jeremy, did you see those photos online? You guessed right, the woman in the photos isn't the president's wife, it's me. If I told you it was just part of my job, that there's nothing going on between President Hartley and me, would you believe me?]
