Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 32

The lights outside the hotel were already on, and as we walked about a hundred meters to the right, a new shopping street appeared.

This street had supermarkets, shops selling local specialties, and various snack bars. The bright lights now were completely different from the darkness a month ago.

Cornelia sincerely praised, "President Hartley, you're really awesome!"

It seemed Marcus was amused by her words, the corners of his eyes smiling, "Oh, how am I awesome?"

Cornelia gestured towards the bustling shops around them. "When we arrived here initially, this place was practically deserted. Yet, within a mere month, it has transformed into a thriving shopping street. We can find all sorts of everyday essentials and savor a wide array of delectable cuisines. You truly have worked wonders."

Marcus said, "You've learned to flatter people in just a month."

Cornelia retorted, "Am I not telling the truth?"

Marcus explained, "Creating a shopping street like this is not difficult, the real challenge is to keep it running continuously, allowing the residents here to truly get out of poverty and live a stable life."

Cornelia asked, "President Hartley, what are your plans for the future?"

Before, Cornelia always thought that Marcus was wasting his talents building a scenic spot here, with many more profitable jobs waiting for him.

But seeing the changes in this scenic spot and listening to Marcus's words, Cornelia realized that Marcus was not just a businessman, but also cared about the lives of the general public.

However, Marcus continued, "Nowadays, companies value their reputation. The Hartley Group wants to go further and earn more profits, so we must be impeccable."

Cornelia, "......"

Business people still wanted to make money after all.

But who isn't doing it for the money? How can you live without money?

Investing in such a big project, Marcus was already considered to have a conscience.

They walked from one end of the shopping street to the other and back, and Cornelia roughly understood Marcus's troubles, "President Hartley, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, but to retain tourists, it's not just about the scenery, the supporting facilities and services must also keep up."

Marcus nodded for her to continue.

Cornelia went on, "If I were to go to a place for a trip, the first thing I would consider is the cost, then the safety and whether the transportation is convenient..."

Cornelia said a lot, and after listening, Marcus gave her an appreciative look.

Receiving Marcus's appreciation, Cornelia felt very happy.

Although she knew that Marcus's team must have considered these issues, he might just want to see if her ability to think about problems had improved after taking a month off.

As they were walking, Cornelia's phone in her pocket rang.

In their group chat, Zack sent a picture of himself eating barbecue and a voice message, "Nelly, we're having a barbecue."

Cornelia turned on the speaker, and Marcus next to her heard Zack's words too, the smile on his face instantly disappearing.

Cornelia's attention was all on the barbecue picture, and she didn't notice Marcus's mood change at all.

Worried that her wound might get infected, Dr. Dawson had been restricting her diet, and she couldn't eat barbecue or anything like that. Now, just looking at the picture, Cornelia couldn't help but drool.

She turned to Marcus, "Mr. Hartley, can I try some of these snacks? After all, the taste of the snacks in the scenic area can also affect tourists' evaluations."

"You want to eat barbecue?" Marcus felt like he saw through Cornelia's thoughts in an instant.

Did she love her husband that much?

He's eating barbecue, and even though they're far apart, she wanted to share that moment with him?
