Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 325

Cornelia's praise had Marcus working even harder, and in no time, he had the dough all kneaded up.

Cornelia scoured the kitchen but couldn't find a rolling pin. She remembered back in the day, when they were out of rolling pins, grandma would use a wine bottle to roll out the dough, and it worked just fine for making tasty bread. So she asked Marcus, "Do you have an empty wine bottle in the house?"

"We have wine, but no empty bottle." Marcus left the kitchen and came back with an unopened bottle of red wine. He handed it to Cornelia, "Just pour out the wine, then you'll have your empty bottle."

Cornelia thought he had just brought a regular bottle of wine. But when she saw the vintage year on it, she nearly jumped out of her skin and handed the bottle right back to Marcus, "Mr. Marcus, you can't be pulling my leg like this."

This bottle of wine must have been worth tens of thousands of dollars. Using such an expensive wine bottle as a rolling pin was something she simply couldn't bring herself to do.

"I'm not joking. If you need a wine bottle, just pour the wine out. We have plenty more where that came from." Marcus picked up a corkscrew, looking dead serious. He was not pulling her leg at all.

Cornelia stopped him right away, "Mr. Marcus, I do need a wine bottle, but we don't need to waste the wine."

Marcus replied, "Alright, use it however you want. Don’t worry about the wine. We got plenty more, and a bottle or two won't make a difference."

Cornelia asked him, "Mr. Marcus, do you really not care about the wine?"

Marcus replied, "I buy wine to make myself happy; it's not necessarily for drinking. Life is short, if you worry about everything, there's no joy in living."

Cornelia mulled it over. If she spent more time with Marcus, would his spending habits rub off on her?

Marcus watched her and said, "Cornelia, your husband is probably wealthier than you think. He can fully support you. You don't need to worry about saving money all the time."

Cornelia chuckled, "I can support myself with my own earnings, why would I need someone else to take care of me? I know Jeremy is wealthier than me, but he earned that money through hard work. I've done nothing to contribute to that. How could I spend his money in peace?"

Marcus didn't agree with her view, "Jeremy is your husband and you are his wife. You two are legally married. Half of his assets belong to you. It's normal for you to spend his money."

Others had expressed the same view to Cornelia, but she didn't agree, "President Hartley, I believe a healthy relationship between a husband and wife should be mutual. Both should work hard to earn money, and strive to improve the family's living conditions together. If one person doesn't contribute anything to the family and only focuses on spending the other person's money, the one always giving will eventually feel exhausted. Such a relationship can't last long."

Marcus asked, "If he's willing to let you spend his money, why aren't you willing to spend it?"
