Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 375

Cornelia got such a fright that her hand shook, and the food she was about to feed Marcus just dropped to the ground.

Marcus didn't get to eat. He shot Briana a look, his face all grumpy. "Briana, no more shouting, okay? You scared Cornelia."

"Okay, I'll tread lightly from now on, and I promise not to spook Cornelia." Briana stepped up and hugged Cornelia. "Cornelia, he's actually a considerate guy, right?"

"Uh-huh." Cornelia felt a bit awkward. Earlier she was tasting the food, and when Marcus said he wanted to try some, she just handed it to him without considering if that was appropriate. "Bri, the food's ready. Let's go eat."

Briana handed Marcus the plate of food. "Lead the way. Cornelia and I need to have a little girl talk."

Marcus obeyed, but he walked really slowly.

Cornelia asked, "Bri, what do you want to talk about?"

Briana asked, "Cornelia, if you and my brother were both single, would you consider dating him?"

"No." Cornelia remembered this wasn't the first time Briana asked her this question. Setting aside the fact that there are no ifs in life. Even if there were, she wouldn't like Marcus. Because she knew well that the gap between her and Marcus' social status was too wide. Such a marriage wouldn't last, and she didn't want to be the next Skyler.

Marcus, who was ahead, heard this and paused. His eyes filled with disappointment.

Every time he felt he was getting closer to Cornelia, she would say something that brought him back to reality, reminding him that to her, he was just Marcus, and he could never be Jeremy.

Briana kept probing, "Why? What's wrong with him? Why don’t you like him?"

"Did I say there's something wrong with him? We're just not compatible, we're from different worlds." Cornelia put away her gentle smile and said seriously, "Bri, don't ask me this kind of question anymore. Your sister-in-law treats you so well. You should stand firm and protect your brother and her relationship. Never ask this question again, don't give other women the wrong impression that they might have a chance with your brother."

Briana said, "Cornelia, I only say this kind of thing to you."

Cornelia responded, "Even more so for someone like me. As your brother's assistant, I'm closer to him. I have more access to him, so I'm more likely to develop some illusion."

"We all hope you would have that kind of thought." Briana thought to herself, but she didn't dare to say it out loud because she could tell Cornelia was very serious.

Most of the people at the dinner party tonight knew about Marcus and Cornelia's real relationship, so they intentionally sat them together.

Briana was initially sitting on Marcus's right side, but she wanted to be closer to Cornelia, so she moved to Cornelia's left. "Cornelia, I want to sit with you."

"Sure." Cornelia asked her, "Do you want to drink alcohol or juice?"
