Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 399

Cornelia could tell Zavier was here because of Skyler; she just didn't get why he was playing dumb.

"Ms. Stewart, if you please." Zavier said politely, but there was no real choice in his tone.

With a resigned sigh, Cornelia followed Zavier into the restaurant. Zavier took her coat and hung it up, "Ms. Stewart, I took the liberty to order for you based on your preferences, hope you like it."

"Thank you, Mr. Rivera." said Cornelia.

Zavier took off his own coat, hung it up and lit a cigarette, "We're just friends here, no need for formalities, Ms. Stewart. What would you like to drink?"

"I don't want to drink." Cornelia replied.

"Are you afraid I'll get you drunk and do something inappropriate?" Zavier asked.

"People should not harbor ill intentions, but also should not be without self-protection." Cornelia said.

Her answer surprised Zavier and he chuckled, "If I wanted to do something inappropriate, it wouldn't matter if you were drunk or not."

"Mr. Rivera, I know you're not interested in me. So, stop saying things that make me uncomfortable." Cornelia said.

"Who said I'm not interested in you? I asked you here to tell you that I like you, I want to pursue you, and I hope you'll accept me." Zavier said.
