Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 124

Marcus didn't dare to move recklessly, so he quickly tucked Cornelia into bed. Then he went to the bathroom to soaked a towel with hot water, and came back to gently wipe her face.

When he got to the part that had been kissed by Alvina Lacy, he scrubbed a bit harder, as if to wash away the traces left by someone else on her.

She was his wife, and he hadn't even kissed her face. Why should anyone else be allowed to?

"Abby, Zack," Cornelia suddenly grabbed his hand without even opening her eyes, "you guys are so good to me. When will I ever be able to repay you?"

"You don't need to repay them. I'll do it for you later." Marcus held her hand, "Sleep now. I'll be here for you from now on."

Cornelia asked in a daze, "Who are you?"

"I want to say I'm your husband, the man who will stand by your side for the rest of your life." Marcus really wanted to tell her that, but what right did he have to say these things to her now?

He ruffled her hair and whispered, "Who do you want me to be?"

Cornelia opened her eyes and looked into his, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar, "Are you a magician? Can you be whoever I want you to be?"

Her eyes were glazed with drunkenness, but the brightness in them was still unmistakable. She looked so beautiful and adorable. Marcus's heart softened, "Yeah, you can tell me."

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Cornelia opened her arms wide and yelled, "Mom, hug me!"

"Mom?" Marcus was both annoyed that she saw him as her mother and unable to resist her request for a hug. He opened his arms, embraced her, and gently patted her back, "Sleep now, sweetheart."

Marcus had seen her background information and knew that her mother had left when she was just a few days old. There should be no memory of her mother in her mind.
