Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1187

Patricia was eavesdropping on their conversation and jumped in to mediate when she heard this, "Marc, if you're worried that Nelly will get tired, just tell her straight up. Don't beat around the bush, it'll just confuse her."

"Was I not clear enough?" Marcus asked.

Patricia was speechless.

"Patricia, I'm starving, let's eat first." Cornelia said.

Cornelia didn't want to talk to Marcus when she was angry, afraid she'd lose control and start an argument.

"Alright." Patricia immediately went into the kitchen to prepare. Soon, a few dishes were on the table, but only two main courses were served. She intentionally didn't prepare one for Marcus. It was Patricia's passive-aggressive way of expressing her dissatisfaction with Marcus.

Although Cornelia was angry, she felt bad when she saw Marcus without a main course. She pushed her plate towards him, intending to get another one, but Marcus pushed it back, "I'm not hungry."

Having spent the whole afternoon on a drip, and sleeping heavily afterwards, Marcus had lost his appetite.

Cornelia gave him a look, "Are you saying you don't need to eat? Don't you get hungry if you don't eat? Eat now, you must."

One moment she was angry, the next she was worrying about his meal. Cornelia had a real soft heart.

He chuckled, "Patricia, look who's bullying me now?"

Patricia retorted, "You're a grown man, and Nelly's husband. What's wrong with giving in to her a bit?"

Marcus nodded, "Yeah, you're right. I should be more considerate."

Cornelia returned with her plate and started to eat, not even bothering with the dishes.

When Marcus served her her favorite dish, a little annoyed, Cornelia said, "President Hartley, serving dishes to a female employee, is that appropriate?"
