Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 725

So, she gave it a try.

He was rugged all over but his lips were as soft as gummy candies, just like the ones she liked to eat when she was feeling down - so chewy, so soft, so delicious...

As Cornelia Stewart was savoring her "gummy candy," the man slowly opened his dark eyes...

And that girl who was busy tasting her "candy," was completely oblivious to the fact that every single move of hers was being noted by his captivating gaze.

Until the man suddenly pulled her towards him, and his deep raspy voice echoed in her ear again, "Cornelia, your man is just a regular guy."

He hadn't been with a woman for over twenty years, not because he couldn't, or didn't want to, but because he chose to keep himself pure and not engage casually with other women.

Now, lying next to him was his wife. He not only accepted her in his heart but also physically. She probably didn't realize that every look, every move she made stirred his desire to hold her.

Cornelia was stunned. He was awake! When did he wake up?

She was so focused on her "candy" that she didn't notice.

"Sweetie, sleep!" He held her, not letting her move anymore.

Cornelia, "Were you pretending to sleep? Or did I wake you up?"

Marcus Hartley, "Your kiss woke me up!"

Cornelia blushed.

Ahhh— Why did she ask such a dumb question?

"Cornelia!" His voice echoed in her ear again.

She heard him say again, "Close your eyes."

Cornelia didn't understand why he asked her to close her eyes, but she obediently followed.

Only after two or three seconds of closing her eyes, he said, "Open your eyes. Slowly."

Cornelia followed his instructions and initially opened a little portion of her eyes to feel the light in the room. Thankfully, she did so carefully and the light was mild and didn't sting or blind her.

That was when she realized the reason for his instructions. She looked at him. He was sitting on the couch by the floor-to-ceiling window, head slightly lowered, completely engrossed in the book in his hand, and didn't even look up at her, "Go wash up. We'll go downstairs for breakfast soon."

Cornelia, "Okay......"

But she didn't get up.
