Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 663

He'd been feeling a bit under the weather recently, like he'd been put on ice. He just wanted to get some warmth from her but she reckoned he had ulterior motives.

They held each other for a bit and he felt warmer so Cornelia pulled away, "Let's just stay in the room, no more gallivanting."

To her, any band or any night view was less important than his health.

But Marcus was stubborn as a mule, "But I want to go out with you."

Out of options, Cornelia said, "Fine, let's go."

Out of the glasshouse, there was a well-lit scenic route. Though the sea view was hidden by the night, the technicolor lights made the road quite a sight.

There were a few couples like them, holding hands. However, their presence drew all the attention. Cornelia worried they'd be recognized as the big cheeses of the Hartley Group and tried to shake off Marcus' hand. But Marcus wouldn't let her off the hook that easy, "Cornelia, we're married."

"Right." Cornelia lightened up. When others stared, she just smiled back. Those people ended up being the ones to look away in embarrassment.

Some greeted her generously, "Your hubby's a looker!"

Cornelia replied, "Thanks for the compliment!"

No matter how much of a heartthrob he was, he was off-limits to others.

There was a young couple walking ahead of them. They were whispering sweet nothings when the guy suddenly leaned in and the girl stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his face.

Cornelia didn't think much of it and kept moving forward, but Marcus stopped dead in his tracks, standing in front of her like a wall.
