Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 21

Cornelia walked up to Marcus and greeted him respectfully, "Morning, Marcus!"

Marcus was enjoying his breakfast gracefully and didn't respond to her greeting.

Cornelia was used to his indifference and didn't take it to heart. She stopped a few meters away from him and said, "Marcus, there's something I need to make clear to you."

Marcus finally looked up at her after finishing his breakfast, "What's up?"

Cornelia stood straight with her hands hanging by her sides, "Marcus, my feelings for you are just respect from a subordinate to a superior. I have no other thoughts about you."

He wasn't a fool, and he could naturally tell if she had other thoughts about him.

Marcus couldn't help but want to laugh, "You think I would have other thoughts about you, a married woman?"

Cornelia hadn't thought so, "Marcus, don't make fun of me. I know my place. I'm saying this because I don't want people around you to misunderstand me and affect my future work."

"Cornelia..."

His voice was really nice, and her name sounded even more poetic coming from his mouth.

Yet, he used his mellifluous voice to utter something heartless, "It's due to this disagreeable name of yours that I could never entertain further thoughts about you."

Cornelia, "..."

Last time he said her name was unlucky, she thought he was drunk. This time he was sober.

How on earth did her name offend him?

"Morning, Marcus!"

Ben and Helena's arrival eased the tension between them.
