Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 829

"Not to be too extreme?" Marcus found it so hilarious that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at, Marc?" Leonardo asked.

Marcus was laughing at Leonardo's innocence and his own habit of dealing with issues in an extreme way. Yet, he didn't voice his thoughts. Over the years, wasn’t it Leonardo’s innocence that he admired most? If Leonardo became cunning, he wouldn't be the Leonardo he knew anymore. He would lose his unique simplicity and cuteness.

Often, Marcus didn't want to talk about business with Leonardo. He wanted Leonardo to keep his innocence. But now, it seemed he had to tell him some things.

Leonardo was only a few months younger than him. This year he was twenty-eight, and he should understand the cruelty of society.

Marcus said, "The business world is like a battlefield without gunpowder, even more brutal than a real one. Now you want me to spare the Reese family, to give them a chance to live.

“But if we give them a chance to recover, the first ones they will retaliate against will be me.

“I'm not a philanthropist or a fool, I will never let myself and the whole Hartley Group fall into such a predicament."

Leonardo still held a glimmer of hope. "Marc, I've always had a good relationship with Cameron. I can talk to him and get him to promise that if the Reese family recovers, they won't be enemies with the Hartley Group."

"Leonardo, haven't you seen Cameron's true colors yet? You consider him a friend, but does he think the same of you?" Marcus said remorsefully. He should have told this innocent guy about the cruelty of society earlier, so he wouldn't easily trust someone who was not trustworthy.

"Why?" Leonardo asked.

"Because you're not Cornelia's type." Marcus replied.

"Do you think Cornelia likes you for your looks?" Leonardo asked.

On this topic, Marcus also raised his glass and downed the wine. He soon felt a hot sensation in his stomach, but he didn't care, "I think my looks may not be Cornelia's type. If it wasn't for my grandmother's introduction, Cornelia wouldn’t have married me, and also would not have given me a second glance."

"Marc, do you have some misconceptions about your appearance? Your looks have attracted so many women, and Cornelia is also a woman," Leonardo said.
