Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 7

Marcus' eyes suddenly turned cold, and he gave off a strong oppressive vibe. "What's your relationship?"

The man straightened up and hugged the woman tightly. "What's our relationship to you? I'm warning you, don't bother us again, or I won't let you off."

After that, the man slammed the door shut.

Marcus stared at the closed door, thinking about their actions in the room just now and the man's affection for the woman, a strong wave of disgust surged in his heart.

He could make excuses for her and deceive himself if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Now that he had seen it, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that his wife had a relationship with another man, and he had been deceived by his cheating spouse.

He turned around, threw the roses into the trash can, and walked straight into the elevator.

Zack watched Marcus leave through the peephole, nervously patting his chest. "Abby, do you know that guy?"

Abigail shook her head violently, whispering, "That was so scary! So scary!"

"Shoot, Cornelia should be back from the supermarket outside the neighborhood by now..." They both rushed out of the room, and another elevator opened just in time.

Cornelia, carrying groceries and a newly purchased bottle of white wine, saw them flustered. "What are you guys doing?"

Zack glanced at Cornelia and sighed in relief when he confirmed she was okay. "You didn't meet any weird people, did you?"

Cornelia looked confused. "No, what's going on?"

Zack pulled her into the room and closed the door. After looking through the peephole again, he said, "A man just knocked on our door, and he seemed to be trouble. I honestly answered his questions, but luckily I was alert enough to drive him away."

Abigail nodded vigorously. "Right, that guy looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive. It's so scary! Good thing Zack reacted quickly."

Cornelia hugged Abigail. "Our neighborhood has a lot of people, and I heard there were thefts a few days ago. We have to be more careful from now on."

Zack pulled out his phone. "I'm going to buy a surveillance device online and install it at the door. If you work late, call me in advance, and I'll pick you up downstairs."

Cornelia nodded. "Okay."

Abigail sighed. "It's a shame he's so good-looking."

Cornelia and Zack said at the same time, "Miss, don't be blinded by a man's good looks."

Abigail, "But that man was really good-looking."

Cornelia and Zack, "..."

Marcus got back into the car and told the driver to head to Southern Summer Garden.

After more than two hours of driving, it was late when they arrived at Southern Summer Garden. The lights in the villa were still on.

Marcus hadn't even gotten out of the car when he saw the unsteady figure in the yard.

Granny Luisa saw his car enter the yard and excitedly shook off the butler's support, walking towards him.

Marcus immediately got out of the car and quickly helped Granny Luisa up. "Granny..."

"Marc, where's Nelly?" Granny Luisa craned her neck to look behind him into the car but didn't see the person she wanted to see. Her eyes immediately dimmed. "She didn't come with you. What's the point of you coming alone?"

"Granny, I came to talk to you about our relation." Marcus helped Granny Luisa into the house and asked the butler to leave.

Granny Luisa felt something was wrong and was a bit nervous. "Is Nelly mad at you and doesn't want to see you? Should I call and help explain things to her?"

Marcus felt heartbroken, and the anger he tried to suppress flared up again. "Granny, no one can force me, and no one can betray me."

He had lived for over twenty years without ever meeting a girl he liked, let alone ever thinking about falling in love. Granny wanted him to get married, so he figured it didn't matter who he married and agreed.

This marriage wasn't for love, but from the moment they decided to marry, he was determined to spend his life with that girl, never even considering betraying her.

But what about her?

He never imagined that when he excitedly brought a car full of gifts to pick her up, he'd be greeted by her living with another man.

Granny Luisa knew him well and took the blame upon herself, all to protect the girl. "Marc, I promised Cornelia's granny that my grandson would treat her granddaughter well, and that's why she agreed to the marriage. I don't want to face my old friend with shame. Just promise me one more time, and I won't interfere with your future marriage choices."

Marcus couldn't bear to see his granny humbling herself before him, so he reluctantly agreed. "Fine, I'll let her keep her dignity."

With the crisis averted, Granny Luisa hadn't completely relaxed when she saw Marcus call his private lawyer. "Help me prepare a divorce agreement."

Granny Luisa, "Marc, you..."

She didn't completely understand him.

Marcus hung up and said, "Granny, you should rest. I'm going back to Riverton."

As she watched his tall, lonely figure, Granny Luisa realized for the first time that she might have made a mistake.

She didn't want her grandson's marriage to be like his parents', just an exchange of benefits. So she arranged an innocent

girl for him, hoping their feelings would be pure. But she neglected the fact that a good marriage requires the presence of emotions.
