Chapter 204 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband
- Zavier was getting more and more pis s ed off, “You seem to trust Marcus a lot. Have you got a crush on him or something?” He was always nice to Skyler, but Skyler always managed to dodge him. Comelia, who didn’t even know she was Marcus’s wife, placed a high level of trust in Marcus. He just couldn’t figure that out. Comelia responded simply, “Marcus is my boss. If I don’t trust him, should I trust you instead?” Zavier retorted, “You’re dodging the question.” Comelia confessed openly, “I do like him! Who wouldn’t like a guy as fantastic as him? But it’s just professional admiration, not love.” “Are you sure you don’t have any romantic feelings for Marcus? Zavier wished that what Comelia was saying was true. In their circle of friends, Steven and Lucas had very happy marriages. If Marcus also had a happy marriage, he would be the only one left alone, and that would make him feel pretty c rap. Comelia glared at him, “You think I’d meddle in someone else’s relationship like you?” Despite being called out by Comelia, Zavier didn’t care, ‘Since you don’t have feelings for Marcus, why not choose me? If you choose me, I can give you whatever you want. You wouldn’t need to chase around after Marcus trying to make money anymore.” Comelia put down her fork, “I’m done eating.” Zavier was surprised, “Why all of a sudden stop eating?” Comelia said, “Your words made me lose my appetite. Zavier asked with a smile, ‘Which words made you lose your appetite?”
- Comelia checked the time, “You invited me to dinner and then kept talking like this. It’s clear you’re not genuinely asking me out. If you have something to say, just spit it out. Also, my flight is about to take off. If I miss it because of you, you’ll have to pay for my change fee.” ‘Wasn’t I clear enough? I think you’re gorgeous, and I want to pursue your Zavier pulled out a bank card, “There’s five million in this card. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, all this money is yours, enough to change your flight many times.” “Who needs your money? Comelia glanced at the card he handed over, got up and left immediately. But as she reached the door, she was stopped by Zavier’s bodyguard. Comelia turned around to see Zavier lighting a cigarette with a smile, ‘Ms. Stewart, you haven’t finished your meal.” Meaning if she didn’t finish her meal, he wouldn’t let her leave. Comelia gritted her teeth in anger, “I need to get back to work. President Hartley is waiting for me. If I don’t go back right away, he’ll definitely come looking for me. I don’t think you want to ruin your friendship with him because of me.” Zavier chuckled, “You’re so sure Marcus would fall out with me over you?” Comelia replied assertively, Tm absolutely certain.” Zavier retorted, “You’re just his assistant. Anyone can do your job. Why are you so sure Marcus would protect you?” In the past, Comelia wasn’t sure. But after working with Marcus for so long, he had repeatedly shown that he would support her. So Comelia was very confident that Marcus wouldn’t let anyone bully her. She replied with a smile, “Because I’m his assistant, as long as I work at the Hartley Group, he will protect me.
- If you don’t believe me, f can call him right now in front of you”Zavier flicked away the cigarette ash nonchalantly, took another puff and said, “You can go now. I’ve already asked someone to invite Skyler for dinner.” “Zavier, have you lost your humanity?” The mention of Skyler made Cornelia lose her cool, and she slammed her hand on the table, “Even though Skyler left you, she’s still your wife. She carried your child. Why can’t you let her be?” Zavier’s eyes darkened, “So you do remember she’s my wife? I thought you’d forgotten. If you know, then why are you meddling in our business?” “So, I should just stand by and watch her walk to her death?” Cornelia shuddered at the memory of Skyler’s miscarriage, feeling suffocated every time it crossed her mind, “Zavier, have you forgotten what happened on New Year’s Day? Skyler nearly died. Do you want to watch her die before you’ll be satisfied?” “Whether she lives or dies, I don’t care. All I know is that she belongs to me and no one else can take her away.” Zavier finished off a cigarette in one go, lit another one and started blowing smoke rings. The sight of Skyler lying in a pool of blood on New Year’s Day was something Zavier would never forget. It still ached his heart to think about it and that was why he couldn’t bring himself to approach her easily. What he couldn’t understand was why Skyler had approached him first, why she had forced him to marry her using various tactics. He had gone against his family to marry her, and had invested both money and man-power to help her family get back on their feet. He had always thought that Skyler loved him, never suspecting that she was just using him. Once her goals were achieved and he was of no use to her, she couldn’t wait to leave him. To be able to leave him, she had even cruelly caused their child’s miscarriage.
