Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1369

If this wasn't the nanny, then who the heck was it?

The room was as dark as a cave, Cornelia couldn't make heads or tails of anything. Outside, the lights flickered faintly on the window, casting a silhouette of someone who seemed much larger than the nanny.

Confused, Cornelia blinked, then as if a lightbulb went off, she woke up to reality. In a flash, Cornelia made a grab, catching the hefty hand pressing down on her ankle.

The hand stuttered, quickly trying to pull away, but Cornelia held on tight. With all the strength she had, she held onto that hand, like it was her last hope.

She recognized him. It was the man she'd been missing day and night, Marcus.

Cornelia's voice tremored, "I've got you now, can you stop running? Can you give me two minutes to talk?"

The man stayed silent, his hand frozen, as if agreeing to her two-minute plea.

To prevent him from taking off, Cornelia embraced his wrist with both hands. She didn't dare slack off.

"I know you're sick and just trying to tick me off. Everyone's been lying to me for you and you're just trying to protect me. But have you ever considered what I really want?" Cornelia asked.

After Cornelia poured her heart out, she felt his hand quiver, but not in an attempt to escape. It was more like he didn’t know how to react.
