Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 657

Knowing full well it was peeping, why did he have to call her out? Didn't she have any pride at all?

Annoyed, Cornelia turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of day.

Marcus, as if nothing major had happened, carried on driving the sightseeing car, even playing the role of tour guide. "This road we're on is called Lovebirds Lane, and the flowers on both sides are orchids. The name of the road and the flowers planted were all decided by Shawn, the hotel manager we just met."

The sightseeing road was well maintained, with the orchids blooming brilliantly on both sides. It was indeed quite beautiful.

Still pissed off, Cornelia glanced at the flowers and shrubs outside, responding nonchalantly without turning her head, "I see."

Assuming she was enjoying the scenery, Marcus continued his animated commentary. "At first, I didn't understand why he chose to plant these flowers. He told me that orchids symbolize a beautiful love. I used to scoff at that, but now I feel that having a good omen and symbolism gives people hope, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Marcus wasn't a man of many words, but to spare them from an awkward silence, he kept talking, saying things that even he found embarrassing.

As Cornelia listened, her anger slowly subsided. "So, you gave him full control of the hotel?"

"Yep," Marcus nodded. "Shawn is a college student I sponsored. I thought highly of him, so I let him manage the hotel after he graduated. He hasn't let me down."

"You sponsor college students?" That was news to Cornelia.

Sponsoring college students was a charitable act by Jeremy's company with no business motive, so not many people knew about it. "Just donated some money, not a big deal."

"It's more than 'just some money'." To Marcus it may be just some money, but for the students he sponsored, his kindness could change their lives.
