Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 572

After Marcus struck out trying to chat up, his only option was to bury his head in his book. He used to be able to focus on anything he did, but now he was always distracted by Cornelia, as if she was more captivating than any book. He constantly wanted to touch her face, those rosy, plump cheeks. He wondered what they would feel like, if they would be as bouncy as a boiled egg?

But, what really caught his eye were her bright and clear eyes. When she stared at him, he felt as if she had stolen his soul.

While he was engrossed in watching Cornelia, Patricia walked in with some fruits and snacks. Patricia didn't give Marcus a second glance, instead she walked towards Cornelia with a smile, "Cornelia, these snacks are homemade. Give them a try and see if you like them?" Patricia was so warm towards Cornelia, as if she already saw her as the lady of the house.

"Thanks, Patricia!" Cornelia didn't really like to eat while reading. She was about to brush it off, but seeing Patricia's eager face, she picked up a snack and took a bite. The snack was sweet and chewy; it melted in her mouth. Cornelia loved it, "Patricia, this is delicious. Did you use any special ingredients?"

Hearing Cornelia's praise, Patricia couldn't hide her joy, "This is my own creation. I haven't even named it yet. Maybe you can help me with that?"

"Sure." Cornelia took another bite, "Patricia, what ingredients did you use in this snack? It's so tasty."

"There are walnuts, almonds, and peanuts..." Cornelia interrupted Patricia immediately, "Patricia, did you say there are peanuts in this snack?"

Patricia nodded, "Yes, I roasted and crushed them."

Hearing this, Marcus rushed over and grabbed Cornelia's hand, "Patricia, go get Dr. Lester. Now."

Patricia was startled but hurried off to find the doctor, despite not understanding why.
