Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 726

She stared at the man who didn't look at her.

Maybe because he felt her stares on him, the man finally looked up from his book and asked, "What's up?"

Cornelia asked, "What's that book you're reading?"

Was this book more interesting than she was?

Marcus answered, "The Red and the Black."

Cornelia continued, "Is this your first time reading it? You look so engrossed."

Just last night he was holding her tight, but this morning he was acting all aloof. If that book was so great, he might as well cuddle up with it next time.

Marcus answered, "I've read it several times. I discover something new each time."

He'd rather reread the same book again and again than glance at his newlywed wife. They had just gotten together and he was already giving her the cold shoulder. If this continued, everything would probably become more important than her.

Cornelia was getting more and more pissed off and she pouted at him, "Hmph!"

Her adorable pout made Marcus laugh. He put down his book and walked over to her, "What's really bothering you? Tell me."

Cornelia hemmed and hawed, "What were you doing when I woke up yesterday morning?"

Marcus answered, "The same thing as today, waiting for you to have breakfast together."

What did he mean the same as yesterday? Yesterday, as soon as she woke up, he looked right at her.

Cornelia was even more pissed off, “Yesterday when I woke up, you immediately looked at me. But today you didn't..."

So that was why she was upset!

Seeing the two of them coming downstairs together, Granny Luisa told the maid to prepare breakfast while asking, "Marc, Nelly, would you like to play some bridge with us today?"

Cornelia apologized, "I'm sorry, Granny. It's my friend Zack's birthday today. I have to go be with him. I promised to take Marc with me."

The light in Granny Luisa's eyes dimmed a bit, "I see. You two should eat breakfast and then head out. If you've made a promise, you must keep it."

Cornelia didn't want to upset Granny Luisa, "Granny, we'll go have lunch with them, and after that, we just hang out for a while, then Marc and I will hurry back in the afternoon to play bridge with you, alright?"

Though Granny Luisa agreed in her heart, she had to put on a show of magnanimity, "You've promised to celebrate someone's birthday, so do that properly. We can play bridge together another time."

Cornelia quickly hugged Granny Luisa, "It's okay. I hang out with my friends all the time, and we see each other every day. It's no big deal if I'm gone for half a day. They mainly want to meet Marc, to check him out for me."

Granny Luisa said, "Marc, you better behave. Make sure you impress Nelly's friends."

Marcus said, "Let's eat breakfast first."
