Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 862

Marcus handed her a napkin, helping her wipe some food off her mouth, "I didn't know."

"Why did you pick me over the other two then?" Cornelia asked.

Marcus replied, "Maybe I have a special feeling for you, or your name just sounds familiar."

This answer didn't satisfy Cornelia, "Isn't it because of my abilities?"

Marcus felt a pang of sympathy, "The fact that you stood before me for selection already proves your ability. The job only needs one person, and I thought you were the best fit, so I picked you. The past year, you've proved with your performance that I was right in choosing you."

"Did you find me suitable because I'm pretty?" Cornelia asked.

"Having an attractive appearance is also a kind of ability," Marcus said.

"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you. Don't joke around," Cornelia chided.

"Has anyone questioned your work ability?" Marcus asked.

"I'm worried that once our relationship is out, everyone will think I got this job because of my connection with you," Cornelia confessed.

Marcus sensed her unease. He moved closer, gently patting her back trying to comfort her, "When we're not yet strong enough, we'll hear all sorts of doubts every day. But that's okay, we need to learn to grow amidst doubts, to become stronger. Then, you'll be the one setting the rules, everyone will respect you."
