Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 120

Cornelia didn't think too much and blurted out, "You might not, but what about your wife? Have you ever considered the pressure she has to bear to be with you? Your brothers used to talk about her cheating on you right in front of me. Do you know what that means for a woman if such rumors spread? It would stain her reputation for life, and people would never stop attacking her with it."

"I'm sorry!" Faced with Cornelia's angry questioning, Marcus couldn't defend himself and was filled with guilt.

But he still wanted her to know, "Cornelia, first of all, you're not an outsider to me. Secondly, don't worry, I'll handle these matters, and no one will dare to gossip about this in the future."

He had said she was his assistant, knowing many things about him that others didn't, so she was indeed not an outsider.

But why did he want her to feel at ease?

What's the point of her feeling at ease?

Shouldn't he be reassuring his wife?

Shouldn't he be apologizing to his wife?

Having calmed down, Cornelia realized that her emotions had been a bit excessive, "President Hartley, I'm sorry! It's none of my business."

Marcus loved his wife so much, so there was no need for her to worry.

"You're not meddling, and feel free to tell me anything you think in the future." Marcus not only had never dated, but he also had scarce contact with women outside of work. He didn't understand girls' thoughts at all.

At this moment, he realized how much his unintentional mistake had hurt her.

Fortunately, Cornelia was willing to tell him everything directly, so he could address the problem accordingly, "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
