Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 577

Cornelia wanted to face Marcus as his wife, but when it came to the crunch, she was all at sea.

This past year, she had respected Marcus, been scared of his ruthless way of dealing with rivals, and admired the deep love he had for his wife. But that was it. No other feelings.

In her wildest dreams, she didn't imagine Marcus would be the one whose name was on her marriage certificate, let alone be her husband.

Just as Cornelia was lost in thought, there was a noise from the door handle.

Thinking it was Marcus barging into her room, she freaked out. She closed her eyes, held her breath, and played possum.

However, it was Patricia who came in.

Patricia tiptoed to Cornelia's bedside, first gently touched her forehead, then carefully checked under her blanket. She then left as quietly as she came.

Cornelia slowly opened one eye, watching Patricia leave.

At the doorway, Patricia said without closing the door, "Marc, you can rest easy. Nelly is sleeping like a log and there's no allergic reaction on her skin. She should be fine."

Then Cornelia heard Marcus mumble an "uh-huh".

Patricia continued, "What should we cook for Nelly tonight? The usual Rosenberg dishes?"

Marcus replied, "Rosenberg's dishes are too heavy for a sick person. I've got Finn and his team on it. Nelly likes their food."

Finn, an internationally acclaimed chef and a celebrity magnet, was Marcus’ personal chef. Probably because Marcus paid him a king's ransom.

Cornelia replied honestly: [I'm back at his villa with Marcus.]

Zack shot back: [Cornelia, you spineless jellyfish! Can't you stick to your guns?]

Abigail defended her right away: [Nelly, I'm all for you being with Marcus, but don't jump into his arms so fast. Men don't cherish what they get easily, even if he's your husband. You can't sleep with him the moment you meet him. You need to play hard to get.]

Before Abigail finished, Cornelia noticed there were only two of them left in the group chat. She typed: [Zack, did you just kick Abby out?]

Zack replied: [Her ideas are all wrong. She has no say in your relationship with Marcus. Now let me analyze, from a guy's perspective. Why I'm against you being with Marcus.]

Cornelia knew all about Zack's worries and concerns: [Zack, I know you're afraid I'll get hurt again. But trust me, Jeremy and that guy are not the same.]
