Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1022

Everyone had got a greedy side. With the world's population being so huge, it was only normal that there were some greedy folks out there, or so thought Cornelia. What really ground her gears was when these greedy people exploited innocent women just to get some attention.

Sallie said, "I'm done trusting people. You need me to do something, just give me a holler. I'll bend over backwards to help you."

Cornelia responded, "Sounds great, I'll take you out for a meal when I get back to Riverton, gotta hang up now."

......

Granny Rebecca's stuff had been packed up, no need for Cornelia to stick around in Rosenberg. So, she and a few others hopped on a red-eye back to Riverton. By the time they got home, it was past midnight. But Marcus was still as chipper as ever, and they kept busy for almost two hours.

Cornelia wasn’t sure if it was because she was beat, but Marcus was unusually passionate in bed that night. So passionate, it was like he wanted to melt her into him.

In her half-asleep state, she could faintly hear Marcus calling her name in his husky voice, "Cornelia, Cornelia."

His voice was like a lullaby, and she drifted off to sleep peacefully.

When Cornelia woke up again, it was already noon and her man was probably up and about. Business had been buzzing lately, and Marcus had a lot on his plate. Because of her, he had to hold video conferences since he couldn't make it to the office.

She had originally planned to go to work with Marcus the day after their late-night flight back to Riverton, but with what happened last night and all the busywork, she slept in till noon. Guess she would have to go to work tomorrow.

Cornelia rolled over, planning to get some more Z's, when Marcus called, "You're awake, get up and grab a bite."

"How'd you know I'm awake? Did you bug the room?" Cornelia looked around, "Did you get our actions last night on tape?"

Marcus chuckled on the other end of the line, "What are you thinking?"
