Chapter 191 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• As Cornelia was cooking the lamb chops, the kitchen was filled with fumes Tears started to stream down Cornelia’s face from the smoke, and Marcus quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears. Tll take over the cooking next time. All you gotta do is eat The noise from the kitchen utensils drowned out Marcus’s words, and Cornelia didn’t quite catch them, ‘Mr Hartley, what’d you say?” Marcus just shook his head. “Nothing much” Cornelia continued, “The food is almost ready, can you grab me a plate?” Marcus turned around and took out a plate from the sterilizer, “Does it need to be washed?” Only he could get away with asking that, thought Cornelia. Anyone else would’ve gotten an earful, “Well, technically, plates from the sterilizer are good to go. But we typically wash ‘em again. It feels icky otherwise Marcus chuckled at her remark, he was amused, “You could’ve just said you wanted it washed, no need for the waffle” He used to smile and lose it as quick Sometimes, it was so fleeting that Cornelia barely managed to catch it. This was the first time she saw him laughing heartily. It seemed Courtney’s arrival didn’t dampen his spirits anymore Cornelia was glad for him, 1 was just trying to avoid getting a lecture from you, so I jumped the gun.” Marcus retorted, Tm only four years older than you!” Cornelia defended herself, “I wasn’t calling you old I was just showing respect” Marcus shot back, “Well, you shouldn’t have put it that way” ”
• “Alright “Cornelia took the plate he offered, filling it with the food from the pan. The last dish is Mexican wraps, a family favorite Mr. Hartley, if you learn how to make this for your wife, shed be over the moon.” Marcus replied, “Let’s find time for you to teach me” “It looks simple, but not many can nail it. My grandma made the best Mexican wraps,” Cornelia tasted the dish, though not as good as her grandma’s, it was decent, “Mr Hartley, I think it tastes alright, I can try teaching you when we have time” Marcus shot back, Td like to give it a shot too.” Cornelia was about to give him a piece to taste when… “Marcus, Cornelia, the show’s about to start, you guys ready?” Briana had been eavesdropping at the kitchen door for a while, and chose this moment to appear, aiming to push their relationship forward, “You guys Comelia got such a fright that her hand shook, and the food she was about to feed Marcus just dropped to the ground. Marcus didn’t get to eat He shot Briana a look, his face all grumpy Briana, no more shouting, okay?
• You scared Cornelia” “Okay, I tread lightly from now on, and I promise not to spook Cornelia Briana stepped up and hugged Cornelia “Cornelia, he’s actually a considerate guy, right? “Uh–huh “Cornelia fet a bit awkward Earlier she was tasting the food, and when Marcus said he wanted to try some, she just handed it to him without considering if that was approprate “Br, the foods ready Let’s go eat” Briana handed Marcus the plate of food. Lead the way. Cornelia and I need to have a little girl tak“ Marcus obeyed, but he walked really slowly. Cornelia asked Bri what do you want to talk about?” Briana asked. “Cornelia, if you and my brother were both single, would you consider dating him?” “No “Cornelia remembered this wasn’t the first time Briana asked her this question. Setting aside the fact that there are no ifs in life. Even if there were, she wouldn’t like Marcus. Because she knew well that the gap between her and Marcus‘ social status was too wide. Such a marriage wouldn’t last, and she didn’t want to be the next Skyler Marcus, who was ahead, heard this and paused.
