Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 657

Knowing full well it was peeping, why did he have to call her out? Didn't she have any pride at all?

Annoyed, Cornelia turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of day.

Marcus, as if nothing major had happened, carried on driving the sightseeing car, even playing the role of tour guide. "This road we're on is called Lovebirds Lane, and the flowers on both sides are orchids. The name of the road and the flowers planted were all decided by Shawn, the hotel manager we just met."

The sightseeing road was well maintained, with the orchids blooming brilliantly on both sides. It was indeed quite beautiful.

Still pissed off, Cornelia glanced at the flowers and shrubs outside, responding nonchalantly without turning her head, "I see."

Assuming she was enjoying the scenery, Marcus continued his animated commentary. "At first, I didn't understand why he chose to plant these flowers. He told me that orchids symbolize a beautiful love. I used to scoff at that, but now I feel that having a good omen and symbolism gives people hope, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Marcus wasn't a man of many words, but to spare them from an awkward silence, he kept talking, saying things that even he found embarrassing.

As Cornelia listened, her anger slowly subsided. "So, you gave him full control of the hotel?"

"Yep," Marcus nodded. "Shawn is a college student I sponsored. I thought highly of him, so I let him manage the hotel after he graduated. He hasn't let me down."

"You sponsor college students?" That was news to Cornelia.

Sponsoring college students was a charitable act by Jeremy's company with no business motive, so not many people knew about it. "Just donated some money, not a big deal."

"It's more than 'just some money'." To Marcus it may be just some money, but for the students he sponsored, his kindness could change their lives.

Marcus said, "This glass house is reserved for me by Shawn. No one usually stays here, so you don't have to worry about hygiene."

When initially planning the hotel, Shawn jokingly said he wanted to reserve a room for him so he could bring his girlfriend in the future.

He said at the time: "I might have to wait till my next life to bring a girlfriend here."

Because he never thought he would have a girlfriend, let alone get married.

However, just a few years later, he skipped the dating part altogether and went straight to register for marriage.

In comparison, Cornelia didn't have as many concerns. She,Abigail, and Zack usually chose regular chain hotels when they traveled and weren't particularly picky about hygiene conditions.
