Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 69

Marcus took a drag of his cigarette, his fingers hesitating for a moment. The cigarette burned slowly, inching towards his fingertips, but he didn't seem to feel the pain.

He knew full well that Cornelia didn’t belong to him. After mistakenly taking an aphrodisiac and passing out for a day and night, he didn't even have the right to stay by her bedside and take care of her. He could only get updates on her condition through the doctor.

Dr. Dawson watched from the side, feeling a sudden pang in her heart. This was probably what they called "meeting the right person at the wrong time."

When Cornelia said she wanted to go home, all he had to do was say one word to make her stay. But he didn't.

Marcus had always been the type to get what he wanted, by hook or by crook. But when it came to Cornelia, he had been holding back.

Marcus lit another cigarette, and Dr. Dawson jumped up, anxious. "Young Master, your fever hasn't gone down, and your throat isn't getting better yet. You can't smoke anymore."

Marcus continued to smoke, calming his emotions before saying slowly, "Take me to Southern Peak."

Cornelia didn't dare tell Zack and Abigail about what happened the night before, worried that they would be concerned for her.

Because of some exceptionally good news today, the two of them didn't notice Cornelia's physical condition.

Zack drove, while Abigail excitedly said, "Nelly, the copyright fees are in! Let's go house hunting this weekend."

This was the best news Cornelia had heard in days, and it cleared the gloom from her heart, "My boss is busy these next two weeks. We'll go after that."

"Alright," Abigail took out some property brochures and picked one. "We used to really like this lakeside community, but we couldn't afford it. Now that we have money, how about we buy a place there?"

The lakeside community was an upgraded residential area with complete amenities, good greenery, and a lake view, but the price was indeed high.
