Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 970

Unexpectedly, just as she stepped out the door, a strong hand reached out and took the bag from her hand.

Cornelia looked up and seeing who it was, she gave a slight smile, "Didn't I tell you to go upstairs first? What are you doing here?"

Marcus replied, "I wanted to walk home with you."

Unable to resist his direct confession, Cornelia took the bag from Tahlia's hand and led her forward, "Let me formally introduce you, Natalia has changed her name to Tahlia. From now on, she's my little sister, and yours too."

"Hello, Mr. Hartley!" Tahlia greeted.

Thanks to her relationship with Cornelia, Marcus had grown fond of the little girl he previously disliked, "Hello. Make sure you listen to your sister."

"Okay. I'll go find Zack." After exchanging greetings, Tahlia quickly ran off, clearly avoiding Marcus. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on him and Cornelia.

Marcus tried to take the bag from Cornelia again, but she quickly dodged him, saying, "The bag's really light, I can carry it. You should tone down your intimidating vibes in front of Tahlia. She shouldn't be scared of you."

Marcus asked, "Am I really that scary?"

Cornelia couldn't deny it. She had been scared of him when they first started working together, "You know you can be pretty intimidating. I remember one time you threatened to throw me into the Riverton river to feed the fishes."

Marcus replied, "I didn't know you were my wife then."

Cornelia retorted, "So if I wasn't your wife, you could just toss me into the Riverton river to feed the fishes?"

Marcus said, "I'm sorry."

Hearing his apology, Cornelia's heart softened again. She quickly linked her arm with his, "You don't have to apologize, I was just kidding."
