Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 189

Billy said, "Ma'am, I've given it some thought. Instead of saying President Hartley is charmed; it's more like he wants to take responsibility for that person. You know Hartley's personality very well, he either doesn't do something, or he does it to the best of his ability. Marriage should be the same for him. Since he promised the old lady he'd marry, he'll definitely take responsibility for his wife."

"Really?" Courtney didn't dare to claim she truly understood him.

During the crisis the Hartley family was facing, everyone thought the family power would fall into other people's hands. However, Marcus, who was still underage, bravely stood up and took back the family power in a flash.

No one saw it coming, not even her, his mother.

Billy nodded, "That's what I believe."

Courtney scoffed, "The Hartleys have ambition in their bones, they have dreams, but they lack a sense of responsibility for their wives. His father never thought of taking responsibility for me, his wife."

Billy continued, "He wasn't responsible to you, but in the past few decades, he has cherished that woman. That's another kind of responsibility, I guess."

Courtney's face turned cold, "You're even making excuses for him."

Billy hurriedly explained, "Ma'am, I'm not making excuses for him, I just don't want to see you upset over these things. His heart was never with you, and yours wasn't with him either. Over the years, you both lived separate lives, not bothering each other."

Even though this was common knowledge, hearing Billy say it so bluntly still made Courtney feel uncomfortable.

"So, I'm just supposed to roll over and admit defeat?" Courtney knew she couldn't win her husband's heart, nor control Marcus's fate, she was just not willing to admit defeat.

Billy said, "Ma'am, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
