Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 650

Marcus chuckled lightly, his grip tightening, "Got it."

Cornelia kept her silence, as the elevator steadily descended, plunging the atmosphere back into awkwardness.

After a moment of thought, Cornelia began, "You..."

Marcus cut her off, "Stop being so formal with me."

His tone was low and stern, exuding an irresistible dominance.

Cornelia asked, "Didn't you say you'll pick me up at five? Why are you here so early?"

Marcus explained, "I wanted to see you sooner, so I came early."

Cornelia glanced at him, then lowered her head.

His straightforwardness left her speechless.

Marcus pulled her a bit closer, "Is there anywhere you particularly want to go?"

Cornelia shook her head, "No."

Marcus fell silent for a moment.

Cornelia asked, "Did you hear all that?"

Marcus countered, "Hear what?"

Cornelia replied, "Nothing."

He couldn't have overheard her conversation with Abigail, right? If he had, he would've reacted differently.

So, taking Leonardo's advice, Marcus had Ben call the dealership and have a new car delivered.

Cornelia was taken aback, then frowned, "I already have a company car. I don't need another one."

Marcus said, "You don't have to save money for me. I have plenty."

Cornelia retorted, "I'm not saving for you!" This was the world of the rich, they could buy a sports car worth hundreds of thousands without batting an eye.

After her father died in a car accident, Cornelia's grandmother had taken care of her. Her grandmother was a teacher, with a modest salary. Besides supporting Cornelia, she also had to help out Cornelia's uncle.

From that time on, Cornelia learned to be frugal. She kept track of every penny, never wasting a dime unnecessarily.

Marcus wanted Cornelia to be happy, but she didn't look happy. He asked, "What's that?"

Cornelia replied, "You bought me such an expensive gift, I can't just take it without giving something in return. I care about my own money."
