Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 234

Marcus asked, "Aren't you home yet?"

He wasn't happy and Cornelia was a bit on edge, worried that her upcoming holiday might go up in smoke. She wasn't sure if it was because she hadn't replied to Jeremy's WhatsApp, which might have made him worry about her safety.

She replied, "I'm already home. What's up?"

There was a pause on the other end, then Marcus' voice came back: "I have some personal stuff to deal with in the next few days. You guys can take a break."

"You already told me that." The midnight call to tell her about the holiday hinted that the boss was excited about a date with his lady.

Marcus seemed puzzled. "Did I?"

"Sorry, I must have remembered wrong," Cornelia responded, reasoning that the boss couldn't have forgotten, so it must have been her. "Well, good night, President Hartley!"

She said goodnight and waited for him to hang up. He didn't, and she felt awkward hanging up first. "Is there anything else, President Hartley?"

Marcus said her name again in his deep, captivating voice: "Cornelia."

Why did he and Jeremy like to call her name but say nothing else? Was it a guy thing to seem mysterious? "Yes?"

"Nothing; get some rest early." He finally hung up.

After putting down her work phone, she remembered her own. She opened WhatsApp and saw a few unread messages from Jeremy.

"Are you home yet?"

"Why aren't you replying?"

"Cornelia, reply to me."
