Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 326

Cornelia asked, "He's willing to do it now, but what about in the long run?"

Marcus replied, "No matter how long, he'll still be up for it."

He was worried that Cornelia wouldn't let him spend money on her, leaving him clueless about how to treat her right.

Cornelia said, "You're not him, you don't know what's really going on in his head, you're just guessing."

Marcus didn't respond.

Cornelia didn't dare be too hopeful. To her, true love only existed in novels or TV dramas, "President Hartley, I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I just think marriage is the closest, yet most fragile relationship. Look, many couples are all lovey-dovey at first, but not long after they're filing for divorce. Divorce itself is painful enough, some couples drag it into court over money. To get a bigger piece of the pie, they air each other's dirty laundry. It's as if they're not ex-lovers, but enemies. It's embarrassingly awkward. I really don't want my relationship with Jeremy to end up like that."

Cornelia wished that even if her relationship with Jeremy ended up in divorce. They could part ways peacefully without any disputes, and still manage to smile and greet each other when they cross paths.

The key to staying friends after divorce was to avoid financial disputes. That's why Cornelia didn't want to accept Jeremy's valuable gifts.

Marcus said gloomily, "You're so young. Why do you always expect the worst?"

Cornelia laughed and said, "It's not that I want to jump to the worst conclusion, it's just that I've seen too many cases like this. I do not want to have very high expectations for marriage."

Marcus asked, "How many have you seen?"

Cornelia said, "President Hartley, you know about Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson from Aurora Ventures, right? They had a lavish wedding a few years ago, which made many young women green with envy. But just six years later, Mr. Ferguson audaciously brought his mistress home and shared a room with her despite his wife knowing. Mrs. Ferguson couldn't tolerate it and aired their dirty laundry. Just before this predicament, they were flaunting their love in public."

The divorce of Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson from Aurora Ventures, led to a significant drop in several listed companies' shares, and was one of the most recent major news scandals. And of course, Cornelia was following it.

At work, she was only concerned about whether it would affect the Hartley Group's shares. Off work, like any other girl, she was more interested in the gossip.

If a couple acclaimed as the most loving ended up in such an awkward situation, how could Cornelia dream about her own marriage?

Of course, Marcus knew about this. It was the news Ben informed him about a few days ago. The Hartley Group’s response was swift and their shares not only didn't drop but rose for two consecutive days.

Marcus knew how to handle it because he had dealt with similar situations before. There was a man and a woman who publicly flaunted their love while keeping mistresses behind the scenes, their behavior was even more disgusting than Mr. & Mrs. Ferguson's.

It wasn’t only people in the elite business circles who experienced these issues; even people from other circles had similar complications. Even men who could barely feed themselves kept mistresses. Marcus understood Cornelia's concern.

He said, "Cornelia, although I can't guarantee that your husband will stick with you till death do you part, I know that he wants to live a good life with you now, and his plan is for a lifetime."
