Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 257

His wife's name was also Cornelia, same as hers! All of Marcus's inexplicable actions before now finally made sense.

The reason he'd said her name brought bad luck when he was drunk was because he'd had a fight with his wife, so he vented his anger on her.

And his current kindness to her was just because she shared a name with the his wife. She had just gotten some perks because of this. But she naively thought he was pursuing her.

Cornelia finally understood why every time he called her name, his voice would become particularly pleasant.

Marcus continued, "My wife Cornelia is very excellent. She's the woman I want to cherish. I've decided to love only her in this life, no other woman."

Cornelia said, "I know."

Marcus asked, "Do you really know?"

He wanted to tell her that he loved only her in this life. But she was clueless and always wanted to keep a distance from him. His legitimate wife was right by his side, but he had no right to embrace her. How sad it was.

Cornelia said affirmatively, "Don't worry, President Hartley. I now know the truth. I will never misunderstand you again."

Marcus gave a light smile and then fell silent.

Cornelia didn't dare to doze off anymore and sat straight up.

The two rode in silence until they reached Riverton. Marcus then said, "I want you to meet someone with me later."

"Okay." Cornelia immediately glanced at the time on her wrist. She originally had an appointment with Trent to discuss renovations today, but now she had to postpone, "President Hartley, who are we meeting? Do I need to prepare in advance?"
