Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 956

Marcus comforted him, "I heard you. I'll take care of myself, and I've got plenty of meaningful stuff to do with Cornelia."

Dr. Lester, pleased with this, responded, "Then you two hit the sack early. Patricia and I will take good care of Ms. Reese."

......

After Dr. Lester left, Marcus held Cornelia close, gently stroking her back. Cornelia was having a rough night, shivering now and then, as if spooked by something.

"Cornelia, how about I tell you a story?" Marcus tried to soothe her fears with his voice.

He spoke softly, "Once upon a time, there was a boy born into a very wealthy family. The boy was the center of attention from the moment he was born because he was the only heir to the family. His parents were deeply in love. His father was loyal and his mother was kind and gentle. They lived a life that was the envy of many.

“When the boy turned six, his parents had a baby girl. Her arrival made their already warm home even happier. Every day before going to work, the father would give his daughter a kiss and tell her and the boy that he loved them very much and wanted them to be always happy. The mother would spend the day at home with the children, drawing with them, cooking together."

Marcus had a lovely voice, and his heartwarming story gave a strong sense of security. Cornelia, who had been restless, gradually calmed down. Once he noticed that Cornelia was no longer scared, Marcus laid down.

Maybe it was because they were sleeping together, or because they hadn't had a good sleep for two consecutive nights. Both of them slept soundly that night.

When Cornelia woke up, it was already in the morning. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes staring at her, full of tenderness and love.
