Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 665

Tonight was their first time sharing a bed since their marriage two years ago. They were practically newlyweds.

If a husband couldn't perform on the wedding night, it was a huge blow to his pride. So, to save his ego, Cornelia decided to wait until he fell asleep before going back to their room.

Just in case, Cornelia took a long half-hour shower before returning to the bedroom.

When she got back, Marcus was already asleep, with only the bedside lamp still on. She gently walked over, slid his hand under the covers. But as soon as she touched his hand, she felt a chill.

His hand was colder than before. If it weren't for his breath, she might think the man lying here was a corpse.

Cornelia instinctively held his hand. Perhaps feeling the warmth, the sleeping Marcus suddenly pulled her into his arms.

The position was pretty suggestive; Cornelia was startled and struggled instinctively.

Although Marcus was weak, he was surprisingly strong. Instead of breaking free, Cornelia found herself held even tighter.

She called him softly, "President Hartley."

Marcus grunted, "Cold."

Turned out she was overthinking!

Cornelia stopped struggling and obediently laid on top of him.

Soon, the room's temperature got Cornelia sweating, but the man beneath her was still as cold as ice. She didn't know what he was suffering from or what medicine he needed. She worried that if this kept up, he might not wake up tomorrow.

The only thing she could think of was to share her body heat with him. So, she plucked up her courage, trembling, and began to unbutton his pajamas.

Button by button, slowly...

But when Cornelia had unbuttoned down to his chest, the sleeping man suddenly grabbed her hand with a strength that might crush her bones.
