Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 483

The guy instantly went from feeling down in the dumps to full of confidence, saying, "You see, I'm not the only useless man in this world. I'm not the only one who can only afford to take my wife to places like this for dinner. Some men, they look so handsome and their wives so beautiful, but they're here eating at places like this too."

Cornelia and Marcus paid them no mind. Cornelia was busy savoring the yummy fried grasshoppers, so she had no time for chit-chat. As for Marcus, he couldn't be bothered to even give these people a second look.

The man took a few more glances at Cornelia and then said to his wife, "Next time you want to compare yourself with others, take a good look at yourself first. Look at your fat waist and thick legs. Do you see those slim waist? Do you think you belong in a fancy restaurant?"

The woman gave Cornelia a side-eye, "All you men like pretty women. What a shame, you can only dream, but you can't have."

Cornelia suddenly looked up at the woman and smiled, "Are you saying that I'm pretty? Thank you for the compliment!"

The woman was taken aback and muttered under her breath, "Shameless!"

Marcus turned to the woman, his eyes sharp as a knife, "Are you insulting her?"

"I wasn't..." The woman flinched in fear.

Some people were just like that, always badmouthing others behind their backs. But wouldn't dare to say a word when confronted.

Especially when facing someone like Marcus. His aura was incredibly powerful; a mere glance from him was enough to instill fear in the woman.

She quickly nudged her husband, "Let's go."

The man wanted to say something. But after catching Marcus' look, he was too frightened to utter another word and hurriedly left.

At this point, Cornelia gave a bitter smile, "Should I argue with all of them, fight with all of them? That's clearly not practical. All I can do is to not care about those who doubt me and try my best to live my life well."

Marcus felt a pang in his heart, wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say. In the end, all he could say was, "I'm sorry!"

If he hadn't left her alone after their marriage and had revealed her identity sooner, she wouldn't have had to endure so much verbal abuse.

Cornelia didn't understand why Marcus was apologizing to her, "This has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing?"

Marcus didn't say anything else. But was more determined than ever to take good care of her, and to never let her be hurt again.

Cornelia pushed her plate towards Marcus, "President Hartley, these fried grasshoppers are really delicious, want to give them a try?"
