Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 223

Seeing that Cornelia didn't want to have dinner with him bummed him out.

In Marcus's view, he hadn't done anything to upset Cornelia.

Why was she so against hanging out with him alone?

Marcus thought he'd better get to the bottom of this; otherwise, she'd continue to avoid him like the plague.

Before he could open his mouth, Cornelia walked up and said, "Abigail, President Hartley is swamped every day. He has no time to eat with us."

She didn't want to have dinner with him, but she made it sound like such a big deal. Marcus, who originally planned to turn down Abigail's invitation, immediately changed his mind: "Actually, I'm not particularly busy today. If Cornelia doesn't mind, let's have dinner together."

How could she refuse him after he said that?

Unless she didn't want her job anymore, "I'd be delighted. How could I mind having dinner with President Hartley?"

Zack snorted, "Cornelia isn't willing to have dinner with you. She's just forced by her job."

Cornelia gently pushed Zack, telling him to cut the bull. Zack reluctantly closed his mouth.

Marcus was well aware of Zack's hostility toward him. If it were someone else, he would have dealt with them differently, but since Zack was someone Cornelia cared about, he wouldn't do anything to him.

Despite Zack's repeated offenses, Marcus pretended not to hear, "Where do you guys want to go? I'll pick up the tab."

Upon hearing this, Abigail got excited and said, "Cornelia, since President Hartley is so generous, we should eat something fancy. How about Culinary Crest?"
