Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 302

"We're friends, no need for thanks," Ben placed more food into Cornelia's plate once again. "It's just been a few short weeks, but you already seem to have lost weight. You must eat more and replenish your nutrition."

Cornelia looked at the plate filled with food in front of her and quickly protested, "Ben, you don't need to give me more to eat. I may not be able to finish all of this."

"You can't finish this amount of food?" Ben added a bowl of soup for Cornelia. "Cornelia, these days, with you not being by our side, do you know how much we miss you?"

Before Cornelia could respond, Ben continued, "When we used to work together, we might not have realized your importance. But now that you're not with us, we deeply feel your significance."

Being recognized for one's work abilities bringing happiness to anyone, and Cornelia was no exception. "Ben, you're getting better and better at complimenting people. But if you want to praise me, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush."

"I really am not just casually complimenting you. Not only do I miss you, but President Hartley also misses you greatly. He has mistaken me for you on more than one occasion when it's just the two of us." Only when they were alone together did Marcus mistakenly call Ben by Cornelia's name, making Ben feel like Cornelia might be replacing his position in Marcus's heart.

"Absolutely!" Ben seemed even more excited discussing this. He's been by Marcus's side for ten years and never once had Marcus called him by the wrong name. The few times he did, it was always Cornelia.

The first time it happened, they were in Paris. Everyone was exhausted from working late into the night when Marcus suddenly said, "Cornelia, you've been working hard, go take a break."

Ben awkwardly chuckled, "President Hartley, it's me, not Cornelia. You put her on logistics."

Marcus didn't say anything else at the time, only giving him a cold, piercing look that was rather frightening.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, but he called him Cornelia again the next morning.

He was busy following Marcus around, not even having time for breakfast when Marcus said, "Cornelia, you go and have breakfast first."
