Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 379

Cornelia thought she was seeing things, rubbing her eyes, "Marcus, what did you just say?"

Marcus said in a deep voice, "You made a dish for everyone according to their tastes. Why not for me?"

His voice was still so deep and magnetic and very nice to listen to, but Cornelia could hear a hint of grievance in this nice voice.

"The dishes that no one ordered are all yours." Cornelia knew that Marcus was picky about food and hard to please, so she specially made several dishes for him.

But in Marcus's ears, this meant that what other people didn't want to eat was his.

"Do I only get to eat what others don't want?" She could be kind to everyone; she could care about Jeremy; why couldn't she be a bit nicer to Marcus?

Where was he, Marcus, worse than Ben?

Afraid that he would feel aggrieved again, Cornelia quickly explained, "Marcus, I know you are picky, usually preferring lighter tastes, so this salad, this cornbread, and this seafood platter are all specially prepared for you. Also, there's this porcini mushroom soup. To take care of you, I simmered this soup for several hours."

She was careful to take care of him, afraid that if she did something wrong, he would be unhappy. He wasn't angry, but he did feel a bit slighted.

Underneath his silver spectacles, Marcus's eyes lit up, "These were all specially prepared for me?"

"I might lie to others, but I certainly wouldn't dare lie to you." Cornelia pushed the plate with the cornbread towards him, "Marcus, although this is the first time I've made cornbread, I think it tastes pretty good. Would you like to try some?"

Marcus immediately took a piece of cornbread and put it in his mouth. Honestly, it tasted worse than any cornbread he had ever had before, mainly because the bread was too hard. But because it was made by Cornelia, he thought it was the best cornbread in the world.

"It's really good." He ate piece after piece, giving Cornelia the biggest compliment for her cooking with his actions.

Cornelia was also very happy when she saw that he liked it. After a busy day, it was all worth it. She then asked, "Would you like to try the salad?"

Marcus not only ate the salad but even ate a lot of the seafood he usually hated.

Ben, Dr. Dawson, and Briana were all watching them; everyone was filled with curiosity, especially Ben, who was completely in the dark.
