Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 295

"You're loaded. Five million is just a drop in the bucket." Nimon finished, switching to French, "Your wife is quite a looker, I must say."

"Admire?" Marcus also switched to French, his tone hostile, "With your mug, you're hardly her type. Don't get any funny ideas."

"I'm just appreciating your wife's beauty, why does that sound like I have ulterior motives to you?" Nimon patted Marcus lightly on the shoulder, "You were quite the ladies' man back in France, not a single one of them caught your eye, who would've thought you'd be hitched by now."

Marcus didn't care to bring up other women, "Let's stay on topic. We were discussing the painting."

Nimon chuckled, "You know, I only sell my paintings to people who appreciate them. You've never been a fan, so I wasn't planning on selling it to you."

Marcus cut him off, "Unless I'm willing to pay double?"

Nimon nodded, "You sure know me well."

"You really want me to pay double for your painting?" Marcus adjusted his glasses, smirking, "I could make your painting worth its weight in gold once, I can also make it worthless again."

Before meeting Marcus, Nimon was a struggling artist in Paris, barely scraping by selling the odd painting here and there.

Marcus made his artwork go viral overnight, turning him into a renowned artist and solving his financial issues in one fell swoop.

But all this was due to a bet between Marcus and Steven.

Nimon knew better than anyone else that everything he had was courtesy of Marcus. With one word, Marcus could take it all away.

Nimon turned pale with fright, "I was just pulling your leg, no need to get serious. I don't want your money, I'll have the painting delivered to your place later."
