Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 298

She really couldn't figure out why, but she always got mistaken for Marcus's wife. It had been a laughable mix-up before, but this time, the confusion could put her life in danger.

This was no joke. How could she let people mistake her identity like this?

"Why would he be so concerned about you if you're not his wife? Who are you trying to fool?" Hayden Ruff didn't get to finish his sentence before he felt a sharp pain in his back and passed out, collapsing to the ground.

Despite his unconscious state, his arm remained tightly wrapped around Cornelia's neck, leaving her unable to break free. Consequently, she stumbled and fell alongside him.

Bracing herself for impact, Cornelia closed her eyes, prepared for the imminent collision with the ground. However, to her surprise, she found herself enveloped in a warm and sturdy embrace.

Without needing to open her eyes, Cornelia recognized the familiar presence holding her. The essence of Marcus's scent was ingrained deep within her heart.

"Cornelia," Marcus's voice resonated with concern in her ears. As she opened her eyes, she encountered the worry reflected in his gaze.

Yet, within his eyes, Cornelia detected more than just worry. There were intricate emotions, a complexity that eluded her understanding.

Cornelia quickly regained her footing, withdrew from his embrace, and turned to thank Ayden, who had rescued her. "Ayden, thank you!"

Without a word, Ayden picked up Hayden Ruff and left.

Seeing Ayden, Cornelia suddenly understood why Marcus was so calm. He wasn't indifferent to her plight, he was confident that Hayden Ruff couldn't harm her.
