Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 408

She threw out such a simple request. If he would reject her, would that make her suspicious?

Marcus was caught in a pickle. Just then, the airplane's intercom announced that they were about to take off and requested everyone to switch their phones to airplane mode or turn them off.

Immediately, Cornelia shot Jeremy a text: [Gonna take off soon.]

Then, she fired off a message in the group chat with the three of them: [Zack, Abby, I'm flying home tonight. Leaves at midnight and I should touch down around 6pm Riverton time.]

Having quickly fired off her messages, Cornelia switched her phone to airplane mode. She lifted her gaze only to collide with Marcus's deep, complex eyes. He was staring at her, unblinkingly.

Cornelia touched her face, "Is there something on my face?"

Marcus coughed lightly, "You seemed pretty engrossed in your chat. Who are you chatting with?"

Cornelia replied, "With Jeremy."

Marcus, trying to hide his discomfort, casually asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Cornelia gave an awkward laugh, "That's a private matter between my husband and me."

Marcus stayed silent.

She was having a chat with him but now made him feel like a complete outsider. It didn't sit well with him.

Twelve hours of flight time. It was a long, and Cornelia felt every inch of her body ache from sleeping. But from another perspective, it wasn't that long, as she just take a nap, and when Cornelia woke up, the plane was about to land.
