Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1239

"I've always been on my own," Cornelia took a step back, creating a gap between her and Marcus. "Marcus, I've got something to spill."

"Shoot, I'm all ears." Marcus' voice was still smooth and pleasant, but it didn't have its usual deep and powerful tone.

Cornelia noticed something odd about his breath, it seemed a bit ragged. But he looked okay, so she didn't think much of it. "If you ever fall for some other women in the future, make sure you give your current girlfriend a heads-up. That cold attitude of yours, it's really gut-wrenching."

Marcus took a pause before he responded, "I'm sorry."

Cornelia didn't expect an apology from him. His apology meant he knew he messed up, yet he still went ahead with it. This meant he no longer considered her feelings when making decisions.

"It's water under the bridge. What's the use of saying sorry now?" Cornelia smiled.

"I know sorry doesn't cut it." Marcus was cut off by a sudden coughing fit.

Cornelia instinctively wanted to help him, but she held herself back. "Need me to call a doc?"

Cornelia hoped Marcus would take care of himself, but then she reminded herself that they were no longer together. It was someone else's job to worry about his health, she didn't have to butt in.

Luckily, Marcus' coughing fit stopped just after a few coughs. "Let me walk you home, okay?"

"No need." Cornelia smiled and took out a fancy box from her bag. "Here's your necklace back."

Marcus' gaze dropped to the box she was offering, but he didn't take it. "The necklace is already yours."
