Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 405

Marcus' comforting vibe was like some sort of magic, making her trust him unconditionally, bringing peace to Cornelia's mind.

Cornelia left the airport with him, hopping into a car heading downtown. As the car moved along, she asked again, "You've helped Skyler escape from Zavier's grip, can I still keep in touch with Skyler in the future?"

"You can get in touch with her however you want, don't worry about anyone." Marcus replied in a rather straightforward manner.

Cornelia knew, Marcus made it sound simple, but the effort he put in was not simple at all.

Skyler had been bouncing around a few places before going to Nice, Zavier still managed to find her in such a short time, which was enough to show Zavier's abilities.

France wasn't Marcus' main stomping ground, managing to dodge Zavier's surveillance in such a short time was already quite a feat, yet he pulled it off.

Cornelia looked at Marcus, with many words of gratitude she wanted to say but didn't know how. So she just kept this gratitude in her heart, planning to work even harder in the future to repay him.

Marcus caught her glance, turned his head to look at her, "Still worried?"

"No." Cornelia looked away, staring out the window at the fast-receding view, hoping in her heart that Skyler could finally be truly free this time, never having to hide again.

Just as Cornelia was thinking about Skyler, a message from Skyler popped in. It was a long one:

"Cornelia, the first time I met you was on November 12th last year, why do I remember it so clearly? Because it was the day before Marcus' birthday.

“Marcus brought you to us. I took one look at you and I liked you, even had the idea of wanting to be friends with you. But I didn't dare to approach you, I was afraid you'd reject me or wouldn't like me.

“I was afraid you'd think I'm not a good person. I had a lot of fears. I didn't have the courage to take the first step, and I had to pretend that I didn't care about you.

“I saw Hannah and Rosie taking the initiative to talk to you. Seeing them chatting happily with you, I was jealous. I thought, if only I could talk to you like them. But from that meeting to the next day's farewell, I did not get to talk to you alone much.

“Our second encounter was this New Year's, that day I learned your flight was delayed due to weather. So I plucked up the courage to invite you to join us at Enchanted Sands for hot springs. That day there was you, Hannah, and Rosie, just us four girls and no men. I was really happy, I felt there was hope in my life again. But this happy time was quickly disrupted by the sudden appearance of Zavier.

“When I heard that Zavier and his friends also came to Enchanted Sands, I felt an immense pressure, like I couldn't breathe. A terrifying thought came into my head: if death was the only way to escape Zavier's harassment, then I was willing to die.

“At that time, I was really foolish, not only did I have such a thought, but I also acted on it. I ended the life in my womb myself, I wanted to go to another world with my child and live freely. I initially thought I wouldn't be afraid of death, however, when I saw the blood uncontrollably flowing from my body and felt my life fading away. I panicked and I was scared."
