Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 421

Marcus got serious and said in a low voice, "I'm not a fan of this kind of joke."

Sallie laughed and replied, "Of course, I don't really want you to do anything, just to make Cornelia misunderstand what's happening between us. If she gets jealous and upset, then it proves she has feelings for you. But if she doesn't react, then all I can do is wish you two can develop feelings for each other."

"I'm against using a method that could potentially hurt Cornelia to test her feelings for me," Marcus stated. Even if Cornelia didn't accept him, as her legal husband, he would never do anything that could hurt her.

Sallie knew Marcus was a principled man, and any persuasion would be useless, "Alright, pretend I never said anything. But I really don't know what else I could do to help you."

Marcus said, "I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up, he scrolled through the contacts on his phone. His work phone was full of business associates, and his private phone had almost no reliable contacts.

He stared at it for several minutes, but didn't make a single call.

He took out his personal phone again, pondered for a while, and then sent Cornelia a message: [Cornelia, if I'm not what you hoped for, would you leave me?]

Cornelia didn't see Jeremy's message until the next morning. The phrase "leave me" pierced her heart. It was often said that a happy childhood could heal a lifetime of wounds, but an unhappy one took a lifetime to heal.

Jeremy's painful childhood must have left deep scars, which was why he was so afraid of being abandoned.

Cornelia quickly replied: [Jeremy, you're my husband. No matter what you become, I'll be with you for the rest of my life. Even if the whole world abandons you, I'll always be by your side.]

One message wasn't enough, Cornelia sent another: [Jeremy, remember what I said. As long as you truly want to spend the rest of your life with me, I'll be all in. I'll never leave you in my life.]

Despite going to bed late the previous night, Marcus still got up promptly at six in the morning. He had already finished his morning routine and was sitting in the living room on the first floor. He was reading today's financial news and waiting for Cornelia to join him for breakfast.

Patricia happily said to him, "Marc, did you like my performance last night? Nelly didn't seem to suspect at all that this was all your doing."

Marcus nodded, "Yeah, it was good."

Patricia continued, "But this can't be a long-term solution. We can use this method to make Nelly stay for now, but we can't make her stay forever. When are you planning to reveal your true identity to Nelly and let her live in this house as your wife?"

Marcus took a sip of his coffee, thinking about the scene last night when Cornelia defended Jeremy and threw water at him. He couldn't help but smile, "Soon."

Patricia was delighted at his answer, "Then I will chat with Nelly about her preferences later, and have the house decorated according to her liking."

Marcus looked up at Patricia, "Patricia, do you really like Cornelia?"
