Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 54

Ding dong ding dong.

Cornelia's phone received a Skype request.

It was Zack calling. Cornelia answered the call, and before adjusting the volume, she heard his loud greeting, "Where the heck are you? Aren't you coming home tonight?"

Cornelia quickly lowered the volume, "Oops, my bad. I meant to tell you guys earlier, but I got sidetracked by some stuff."

Marcus couldn't hear the other side of the call, but he heard Cornelia patiently soothing the person on the other end.

Could her marriage not be as happy as he thought?

Cornelia comforted them for a while before Zack and Abigail finally relaxed. After the call ended, she faced Marcus' gaze again.

She felt a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Marcus lit another cigarette and slowly said in the flickering light, "Has that person always been so nasty to you?"

"Well," Cornelia shook and nodded, "Not really. It's just a way we communicate with each other. The better our relationship, the more we act like this. We're polite to those we don't have a good relationship with."

Polite when the relationship wasn't good?

Like how she treats him now?

She always greeted him with a smile, no matter when or where they were.

Realizing this, Marcus felt even more annoyed, "How did you guys meet?"

He didn't mention names, but Cornelia knew whom he was asking about, "We met through a blind date."

"A blind date?" Marcus thought of his marriage, which also started with a blind date.
