Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1010

Cornelia blushed, lightly biting her lip.

Marcus noticed her small gesture and gently stroked her kiss-bruised lips with his thumb. "Did I kiss too hard? Did I hurt you?"

Cornelia nodded a little, whispering, "A bit."

Marcus asked, "Then why didn't you dodge me?"

Suddenly, Cornelia flung herself at him, hugging his waist tightly. "Because I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be by your side."

Marcus held her tightly, his hand gently caressing her back. "Why don't you believe what Brennen said?"

Cornelia asked, "Why should I?"

Marcus replied, "He slandered me. Haven't you ever doubted that I might have done those bad things?"

Cornelia quickly covered his mouth with her hand. "Don't you dare say that."

Marcus held her hand, kissing it gently. "Cornelia, I am Jeremy. Jeremy is me. I don't have a twin brother like Brennen said."

Cornelia had never doubted that he wasn't Jeremy, but hearing him assert it so confidently made her feel even more assured. "I know. You are Jeremy. You're the same person. I never doubted that."

Marcus fell silent for a moment. "If one day, I lose everything, would you still want to stay by my side?"

Cornelia lifted her head from his chest, looking at him. "Did I marry you because I knew you were rich?"

Marcus replied, "No."

Cornelia said, "Then what do you have to worry about?"

He fell silent again. He had too many worries, but he couldn't tell her all of them.
