Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 546

His hands were large and good-looking, with slender fingers and well-defined knuckles.

Maybe because he'd just exerted some effort, the veins on the back of his hand were visible, looking a bit menacing.

Cornelia pulled her hand away and sat back down, "President Hartley, got something you wanna chat about?"

After she sat down, Marcus let out a sigh of relief, "We don't necessarily have to chat about anything, just sit with me for a bit. If you find talking to me boring, you can just play with your phone..."

All he wanted was for her to be by his side. Just seeing her was enough, he didn't dare to hope for anything more.

Since he put it that way, Cornelia didn't mind.

She took out her phone and messaged Jeremy on WhatsApp, "Jeremy!"

Sure enough, Marcus's phone on the side buzzed once.

Cornelia then sent a second message, "We are..."

Marcus's phone buzzed again.

Then Cornelia sent a third message, "......"

She hoped that Marcus's private phone would stop buzzing, but after her message was sent, Marcus's phone buzzed again.

His deep voice overlapped with the voice from that morning, as did his face. Wave after wave of nausea hit Cornelia, she struggled hard, "Let go of me! Don't touch me!"

Marcus didn't let go of her, instead, he pushed her onto the bed where he had once laid, he said in a low voice, "Lie down and don't move, I'll have a doctor check you out right away."

The bed was filled with his scent, a faint minty smell. She used to find this smell refreshing, but now she felt nauseous.

That morning, when he and Natalia were in bed, the room was also filled with this scent...
