Chapter 187 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Cornella was pretty cocky about her cooking skills, “You guys help with some prep and I’ll take care of the main cooking today” Dr. Dawson was a whiz in medicine, but his cooking was nothing great, “Sounds good” Cornelia assigned Dr. Dawson and Ayden to prep the ingredients according to her menu First up, lamb chops and steak. Everyone was working together, washing and chopping veggies, as smooth as a well oiled machine in no time, all the ingredients were ready It was approaching noon. Perfect timing for when Marcus and the gang would be done with work and heading home But, Cornelia didnt expect Marcus to be home just past noon, and he wasn’t alone. He brought Briana with him And by brought I mean he dragged her home like a kid. As soon as they walked in, Briana started to gripe at Marcus, I’m 23. for crying out loud! You can’t just haul me off in front of all my friends! I have some dignity, you know” Marcus shot back. If you had any dignity, you wouldn’t cake your face like that.” Briana was boiling mad. Everyone does their makeup like this! Why can’t 17 Marcus, you’re just a control freak! You told me you would butt out of my business, and here you are, sticking your nose in it again You’re such a hypocrite Marcus ordered, “Go wash that gunk off your face.” Briana refused. No way! I won’t do it!”
• Marcus challenged. “Say that again!” Briana retorted, “I said, “No way! You know what, Marcus, I can see why my sister–in–law can’t stand you! You’re nothing but an overbearing, boring workaholic. You should stay single forever! Why don’t you just get a divorce and stop wasting her youth? She can find someone who actually cares about her” The lock behind Marcus glasses turned serious. The room suddenly became tense, ‘Go to a dark roorn and reflect! No leaving without my permission!” Dark room! Reflect! No leaving without permission! These words hit Briana hard, her face turned pale and her hands started shaking as she pointed at Marcus, “You…” Cornelia, busy in the kitchen, heard the commotion and came out to see the sibling squabble. She felt like she stumbled upon something she wasn’t supposed to know. Not wanting to get in trouble with Marcus, she made a beeline for the exit, pretending she didn’t hear a thing. But, she was too hasty and accidentally knocked into a chair, catching the attention of the feuding siblings. “Cornelia!” Briana ran to Cornelia, threw herself into her arms, and started sobbing. “Cornelia, don’t leave, please help me.”
• Cornela had a soft spot, especially when if came to sweet and beautiful girls like Briana She cradled Briana in her arms, gathered up her courage and said to Marcus, President Hartley, Bri is all grown up now She has her own social circle, and her own friends Most Importantly, she has her own dignity. You can’t treat her like a kid anymore” Before Cornela could finish what she was saying Marcus cut her off. “Take her upstairs and wash off the paint from her face Hewasn’t mad, nor did he say he was going to continue punishing Briana But Briana was scared nonetheless. She hid behind Cornelia, peeking out from behind her, “Are you going to punish me in some other way? President Hartley, I take Brito wash her face now I promise shell be squeaky clean.” Cornelia took Briana and left, heading back to Briana’s room. Once she was sure Marcus couldn’t hear them, she said. “Silly girl, he didn’t mention punishing you Why are you looking for trouble?” Because! know him too well “Briana wiped away a tear and held onto Cornelia tightly, “His word is law. He said he’d make me reflect on my actions, and he will Cornelia, I don’t want to be locked up in a dark room. Only you can help me You have to help me!” Briana was shaking violently, and her voice trembling.
