Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 466

Cornelia shelled out over thirty bucks for a pretty decent single room in a chain hotel. Lucky for her, it was off-peak season for tourism.

By the time she checked in, dawn was breaking. Cornelia tidied up a bit and hit the sack. She snoozed until almost noon, completely throwing her normal routine out of whack.

When she woke up, Cornelia instinctively grabbed her phone. After unlocking it, she saw two messages from Hannah.

[Cornelia, Steven told me you're visiting Woodpine. If you don't have other plans for lunch, can we grab a bite? ]

[Cornelia, hit me up after you wake up. I won't call you in case it wakes you up. ]

Cornelia immediately replied: [Sure, where you at? I'll head over now. ]

Shortly after sending the message, Hannah quickly sent an address. Cornelia saw that the restaurant was not far away from her hotel, a few minutes' walk at most. She sprung out of bed, freshened up, and hurried off to the restaurant.

Once she got there, she even spotted a couple of familiar faces. Only then did she realize her boss, Marcus, was there too.

And it wasn't just Marcus. Lucas and his wife and Zavier were there as well.

The last time she saw Zavier, he looked full of life. But it hadn't been that long since then. Today Zavier hadn't even bothered to shave. He looked beat, like he aged a decade overnight.

Cornelia couldn't help but stare at him a little longer. Zavier was also staring at her, his eyes filled with a piercing intensity, like he wanted to swallow her whole.

To be honest, Cornelia was somewhat scared of the way Zavier was looking at her, but she knew she couldn't let him get the upper hand. So, she held her head high, puffed up her chest, and walked in.
