Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 837

Marcus could give two hoots about what other people thought. He was already at the top, the big dog, calling all the shots.

As for Cornelia, she was just the president's assistant at the Hartley Group. Some people respected her because she had Marcus backing her up. Some despised her and even wanted her out for the same reason. In a nutshell, if she was not yet the queen bee, she had to care about what people said. She knew this all too well.

As Marcus was thinking about how to comfort her, Cornelia shifted a bit on his back, finding a comfier position, and suddenly asked, "Marcus, why don't you want to have kids with me?"

How much had she drunk? She was really going for broke tonight, saying whatever came to mind.

Marcus replied, "I didn't say I don't want to have kids with you."

Cornelia leaned in close to his ear, accusing him, "You're a liar! Last time I asked you to have a baby with me, you flat-out said you didn't want to."

Marcus lifted her up, "I believe having a child should be based on a couple’s mutual affection, not for the sake of fulfilling someone's wish. It's about respect for each other and being prepared for a new life. Plus, making a baby is easy, but raising one ain't no walk in the park. Once a kid's in the picture, you're in it for the long haul, no messing about."

After Marcus finished explaining, a sloshed Cornelia suddenly said, "But you didn't think that way, you said marriage was all about having kids."

Marcus was speechless. He had indeed said that, and she remembered it crystal clear. He began to wonder if she was just pretending to be drunk.

Before he could reply, Cornelia continued, "I just heard Hannah say she wants a baby, but Steven said she's not fit to bear his child. How could he say that about his own wife? Marcus, Steven's your buddy, do you think the same way? If you think I'm not fit to bear your child, just give it to me straight, and I'll walk away..."

"Cornelia, if you dare to even think about not spending your life with me, I'll really lose my temper!" Marcus cut her off, his voice deep and serious.
