Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 39

Marcus pushed his silver-rimmed glasses up his nose and lit a cigarette. "You can go now."

"How can you treat me like this? I did you a favor, and now you're kicking me out without even offering me a drink?" Ryan plopped down on the couch. "I'm not leaving today."

Marcus said, "Ava, please get a glass of water for young Mr. Petersen."

"Does young Mr. Petersen want water? I don't think he's thirsty." Ava chimed in. Her tone was quite unfriendly.

Ryan replied, "Ava, even you're picking on me now?"

Ava was in her fifties, and she had raised Marcus. He and his friends never treated her like a servant. They treated her more like an elder who nagged at them occasionally.

She brought him a bottle of mineral water. "Young master, if you're going to mess around, don't drag him into it. The marriage is half over. You don’t want the old lady will come back and scold you."

A year and a half ago, when Ava heard that Marcus was getting married, she was so happy she had the villa decorated festively, even preparing a baby crib. She had no idea he would go abroad for a year after the wedding.

Since the old lady was the only one who liked the girl, she thought the marriage would end. However, on the night Marcus returned, he asked her to redecorate the house to welcome his wife.

His tone was the gentlest she had ever heard as if he intended to give all his gentleness to that girl.

Hearing that they were to welcome the mistress, Ava happily redecorated the house to make it appealing to a girl. But the next night, Marcus didn't bring his wife home.

Meanwhile, due to his busy work schedule, he hadn't returned to the villa, and she had yet to hear any news about this Mrs. Hartley, who she was really looking forward to meeting. Now Ryan came here, saying nonsense like that they were divorced; she was irritated and couldn't force herself to be pleasant to him.

“Ava, you can’t blame me for this.” At the mention of the old lady of the Hartley family, Ryan got scared and planned to leave. “Marc, I’m going abroad tomorrow. Sorry I can’t stay with you for your birthday, but I did get you some very special gift. Gonna have someone bring it to you in a few days.”
