Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 373

Cornelia had been working with Marcus for quite some time, but this was the first time she'd seen him in this state. His eyes were vacant, like he'd lost his soul. She guessed something must have happened with his mom. As to what it was, it wasn't her place to ask.

Since joining the Hartley Group, she'd rarely heard coworkers chat about the Hartley family's private affairs. Rumors did circulate that Marcus had clawed his way to the top of the Hartley Group with ruthless tactics, hence the talk about his coldness towards his family.

Working with Marcus for so long, she hadn't paid much attention to his personal life. Only today did she find out that his and his sister’s relationship with their mother, Courtney, was bad.

Bad was an understatement. They were like oil and water with Courtney. There must have been some deep-seated reasons why they despised their mother.

Cornelia couldn't help but feel sorry for Marcus in his current state. "President Hartley, are you okay?"

When Marcus came back to his senses and looked at her, his sexy thin lips opened slightly. It took him a while to say, "Cornelia."

His deep voice calling her name always made Cornelia feel like it carried a wealth of unspeakable emotions.

Maybe he wasn't calling her, but his wife, Cornelia.

Cornelia wanted to comfort him but didn't know how. She decided to be his listener, offering him a chance to vent. "President Hartley, if there's anything you want to say, you can tell me. I promise not to tell anyone."

"My relationship with Courtney is terrible. I just told her to get lost, never to show her face to me again. Do you think I'm a heartless person?" Marcus pushed his glasses up slightly, his gaze never leaving Cornelia's face. He cared about her opinion.
