Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 957

Marcus held her tightly and said, "If you have another nightmare, even if it's just a dream, remember I'm right beside you. That way, you won't be scared anymore."

Cornelia nodded and replied, "Okay."

Waking up from her sleep, Cornelia felt refreshed and rejuvenated. However, she had this nagging feeling that she was forgetting something. After some thinking, she finally remembered and quickly asked while getting out of bed, "Is Natalia awake?"

Marcus replied, "She's awake. But she doesn't want to talk or leave her room. Patricia prepared a lot of delicious food for her but she refuses to eat."

"She had been abused before, so she might resist people getting close. I'll go check on her." Cornelia hastily got out of bed, didn't even bother to freshen up, and was ready to dash out of the room.

Marcus pulled her back, "Cornelia, let me finish."

Although Cornelia was physically in the room, her mind was already in the other bedroom, "Go on."

Marcus felt a bit disappointed, "I think she might feel uncomfortable with me around. I have some work to do, so I'll go to the office. Patricia will stay here to take care of you guys. I'll come back later."

Cornelia agreed, "Okay."

Marcus added, "Cornelia."

Cornelia asked, "Yeah?"

Marcus wanted her to show a bit more concern for him, but didn't want to pressure her, so he said, "Never mind, go ahead."

"Okay." Cornelia turned and left without hesitation.

Marcus watched her leave, speechless.

Cornelia came to the other bedroom and said, "Natalia."

Cornelia replied, "I don't want to be your good friend."

Before Cornelia could finish, Natalia's eyes dimmed, "But I really like you and want you to be my good friend."

Cornelia said, "Can I be your sister? I'm an only child and I've always wanted a little sister. It would be great if you could be my sister."

Natalia's eyes lit up, yet she couldn't quite believe her ears. She cautiously asked, "Cornelia, are you serious? You really want to be my sister?"

Cornelia responded, "I'd be happy to, but the question is if you'd like to be my sister."

Having received an affirmative answer, Natalia leaped into Cornelia's arms, "So, can I call you 'sister' from now on?"

Holding Natalia, Cornelia said with a mix of happiness and sorrow, "Of course you can, Natalia."
