Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 52

Cornelia knew this card game differed from the one they had played before, so she didn't bother joining.

As she was about to decline, Marcus said, "Just play for fun. It doesn't matter if you win or lose."

Cornelia had no choice but to join, but she dared not to play. She was afraid of accidentally losing a house.

Steven said, "Marc, life is only a few decades long, be good to yourself while you're young, and have a proper romance."

Marcus ignored him, only hearing Cornelia's barely audible cry for help, "President Hartley, are you going to bet?"

Marcus stretched out his hand and pushed out a stack of chips, "Don't worry, just play casually."

Because he was very close, Cornelia smelled the faint woody fragrance on him. She was a little stunned for a moment.

Steven noticed their little interaction and teased with a smile, "Marc, do you have a crush on someone that's causing trouble between you and your wife?"

Steven deliberately glanced at Cornelia, hinting very clearly.

Marcus gave him a stern look, "You can say that about me, but don't damage the girl's reputation."

Steven shrugged, "Just go for it if you like someone!"

Marcus said, "Focus on the game."

Steven said, "Alright, alright."

They spent the whole afternoon at the card table. Everyone had a great time except for Cornelia. She felt like each minute was torture.

In the end, Marcus lost all his chips because of Cornelia.

Steven was cheerful, "Marc, you finally lost. We need to figure out how much you should pay."
