Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 566

"Cornelia, "Alright."

Cornelia politely knocked on the door. Marcus allowed her in, and then she gingerly pushed open the door.

He was still sitting on the couch next to the window, with his back to the door, staring out the window, looking pretty lonesome. She had no idea what he was looking at.

Seeing his back, Cornelia felt a pang in her heart, "President Hartley..."

It seemed Marcus hadn't expected her to show up again. He turned around abruptly, "Why you here again?"

Cornelia held up two lunch boxes, "I made food for you, would you like to try some?"

Marcus, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, his eyes lit up, "Did you make these yourself?"

Cornelia nodded, "Yes."

Marcus quickly stood up and moved toward her, not looking at all like the loss of appetite Dr. Lester had mentioned, "Perfect timing, I'm starving."

Cornelia opened the lunch boxes, took out the containers, and placed them on the table one by one, "Eat up then."

Marcus took a seat, "Join me."

Cornelia, "I've already eaten."

Marcus’ plan to have a meal together was foiled. He asked again, "What did you have?"

Cornelia, "Some pasta."

He asked, she answered, no unnecessary chatter.

Marcus tried to find a topic, "What made you cook?"

Cornelia answered truthfully, "Dr. Lester said you're tired of the chef's cooking and you haven't been eating. He asked me to switch it up for you."

Marcus was a bit upset hearing that. He thought she cooked because she cared about him. Guess he got it wrong.

Her smile brightened up Marcus’ gloomy mood, "You sure know how to manage your money!"

Who didn't like money? Moreover, it was spent on him, so it was only right he should reimburse her.

After dinner, Marcus transferred 500 dollars to Cornelia's account, "Your cooking's good. I'd like you to keep making dinner for me. This is for today's service."

Cornelia replied, "Alright."

500 dollars for just two meals, what a pleasant surprise.

Cornelia happily accepted the money, "Mr. Hartley, Dr. Lester told me you need to rest well. Since you don't have any plans, why not stay in the hospital a few more days?"

Marcus quickly figured out her scheme. The longer he stayed in the hospital, the more money she could make.

He was more than willing to let her earn his money, "I'm checking out in a while. You're coming with me to Celestial Chateau."
