Chapter 181 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Cornella pondered for a moment and said. “Let’s meet three days after Christmas Hell be too busy to notice me gone I’ll be out for a day or two and he probably won’t find out Skyler responded. In that case, I wont give you the exact address now. Just in case your phone is being tapped by Zavier I still have time to make a run for Well get in touch when you get to Nice” Cornelia understood Skyler’s concerns and replied, “Alright contact you when I get there” Skyler added. Tve only been out for a month, but it feels like a year. When I first escaped, I had nightmares every night and I couldn’t sleep. I was always afraid of waking up in that familiar room with that devil of a man next to me* Tears welled up in Comelia’s eyes ‘Skyler, don’t be scared. You’re free now. Even the powerful Zavier cant do as he pleases in France Forget about the past, forget about the man who scared you, and start your life anew” Skyler took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s all in the past Things will get better Cornelia, let’s end the conversation here for today. I have things to handle Fl wait for your arrival” After Cornelia hung up, tears streamed down her face She couldn’t understand why she felt so upset. She opened WhatsApp and saw dozens of unread messages from Zack “Cornelia, that jerk Marcus actually hung up my video call! Wait till he gets back to Riverton, Il teach him a lesson!” “Nelly, did Marcus bully you? Hurry up and reply, I’m freaking out here” Nelly!” “Nelly, do you need me to come to Paris right now?” Cornelia quickly replied, “Zack, don’t judge people by their cover. Marcus is not a bad guy. He’s not interested in all the women throwing themselves at him.
• Why would he be interested in a married woman like me?* As soon as Cornelia sent the message, Zack replied, “You finally replied. I thought something happened to you Scared the hell out of me Cornelia replied, “Who’d dare mess with me when I have the whole Hartley Group backing me up? I’m just a small assistant, but to many people, I’m Marcus’s right hand, nobody would dare mess with me?‘ She wasn’t exaggerating Zack replied, “Anyway, take care of yourself Let us know if anything happens. Abby and I are going back to Rosenberg for the New Year. We’ll return to Riverton a few days after the new year Hope you can come back to Riverton soon. Cornelia replied, ‘Sure, don’t worry. Spend more time with your parents in Rosenberg” After ending the chat, Cornelia checked the time and it was already past noon. She hurriedly got up to wash up and only realized halfway through that she seemed to have memories of going to the Paris Tower with Marcus the night before. As for what happened later, her memory was a bit fuzzy When she woke up, she found herself in bed Were the pajamas she was wearing swapped by Marcus? Cornelia quickly dismissed this absurd thought. After all, it’s not only her and Marcus at home. It must have been Briana who changed her clothes. After she was done freshening up, Cornelia put on a suit and went downstairs. She saw Marcus sitting in the living room reading some documents There was a heater in the house, so he was simply dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. Even such simple attire couldn’t hide his charm and good looks. He looked like a beautiful painting no matter where he sat To avoid disturbing him, Cornelia deliberately lightened her footsteps. However, Marcus still noticed her right away, “You’re awake”
• Even that sentence had a special kind of charm as it came out of Marcus mouth Cornelia nodded. Tresident Hartley. Im sorry Loverslept and messed up the work scheduled for the morning” “Actually, there were no plans for work this morning” Cornelia came closer, Marcus saw her reddish eyes and felt a bit tense, “You’ve been crying? Why were you crying?” Cornelia quickly shook her head, 7 wasn’t crying Just got some face wash in my eyes when I was washing up” Marcus was skeptical but if she didnt want to speak about it, he didn’t want to force her. He put down his tablet, walked towards her, “Lunch is ready Let’s go grab something to eat.” “Okay “Just as Cornelia was about to go with him to the dining room, his private phone on the table rang Comelia paused, watching him pick up the phone Marcus answered, Zaviers angry voice came from the phone, “President Hartley, control your wife Stop her from messing with my business” Marcus Whats wrong with my wife?” Zavier said. She is in touch with my wife again, trying to persuade my wife to forget about me. She even insulted me in front of Skyler. When did I offend her? Why is she targeting me?” Thinking of Cornelia sweating Marcus couldn’t help but laugh. “Aren’t you really behaving like one?” He offended his wife Cornelia, and she could leave him bruised What was wrong with her calling Zavier a beast. If Cornelia wanted to kick Zavier for fun a few times, Marcus wouldnt object Zavier, Tm already in a state go ahead and laugh. I’m telling you, if Skyler leaves me, I will use all my power to take your wife from you.” Marcus’s eyes darkened coldly said. “My wife can do whatever she wants to do, as long as she’s happy. I won’t let anyone control her, including you.” Zavier, “You just protect her unconditionally.” Marcus, “I just love to do that.”
