Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 856

Abigail had no clue about the tiff between Marcus and Cornelia. She rolled down the car window and greeted Marcus enthusiastically, "Mr. Hartley, are you here to pick up Cornelia?"

Marcus nodded, his gaze shifting to Cornelia behind her.

Abigail joked, "Cornelia, your hubby is here to pick you up. You should go with him."

Zack pulled over, "Do you need to step out to talk to him?"

Cornelia shook her head.

Zack restarted the car and drove into the underground parking lot.

Abigail asked, "Did you guys have a fight?"

Cornelia replied, "No..."

Abigail pressed, "Then why would you guys fight?"

Cornelia reiterated, "I said we didn't fight."

Abigail pointed out, "He's waiting for you at doorstep. You didn't even say hi. And you're saying you didn't fight."

Cornelia fell silent. Back at home, she rushed to the window to look down. Marcus was still standing there, lighting another cigarette.

When she first started working with him, he was a chain smoker. Then, for some reason, he quit smoking. Why was he smoking again?

Abigail joined her at the window, following her gaze, "Cornelia, what's going on with you two? It's boiling hot outside, like a sauna. Your husband has been standing there for a while. Aren't you going to acknowledge him?"

Cornelia took out her phone and called Ayden, "Tell your boss to go home. It's too hot, he could get a heatstroke."

Ayden said, "I'm here to follow orders, not to give advice."
