Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 751

Cornelia said seriously, "You're as important to me as they are, no one's better than anyone else. Let's stop asking these kinds of questions, okay? Look at me, I'm smart, I never ask you who's more important to you, me or your grandma or Bri."

She didn't really want an answer, but Marcus gave her one anyway, "I don't know who's more important, but I do know I can't live without you."

Before knowing that Marcus was Jeremy and before realizing that Marcus was her husband, Cornelia had never heard Marcus speak such sweet words.

Sometimes, this indirect kind of sweet talk hit her harder than a straight up "I love you."

Cornelia nestled into his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, and whispered, "I get it."

She wanted to drop the subject, fearing if they keep talking about it, he might say something she can't handle.

But Marcus wasn't done, "You get it? You sure you don't have anything else to say?"

Cornelia yawned, "I'm tired, gonna grab some z's. We can chat when I wake up."

She had a lot to drink with Zack, and once she hit the bed, she was out like a light.

Marcus, however, couldn't sleep a wink. He just watched her; simply staring at her filled his empty heart with warmth.

......

Perhaps due to not getting enough sleep last night or the effects of drinking at noon, Cornelia's nap turned into a four hour sleep, and she didn't wake up until 6 pm.

When she woke up, Marcus was nowhere to be seen, she thought he had gone home, so she got up and walked out of the bedroom, hair all tousled.
