Chapter 252 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Natalia snapped back to reality and tried her best to mimic Cornelia’s way of speaking. ‘I heard you’re drunk. I’m here to take you home” “Alright, let’s go home Marcus tried to reach for her hand, but it froze just before he could touch her Even though his mind was foggy, he remembered that he was Marcus, not Jeremy Cornelia would reject any physical contact with Marcus. “Let’s go He tried to stand but his legs gave way and he sank back onto the couch. Natalia quickly moved to help him up. “Are you okay?” As she got closer, Marcus caught a whiff of her strong perfume. He scrunched up his nose and smoothly avoided her touch, “I might be a bit drunk, but I’m fine. I can walk on my own” Rebuffed, Natalia didn’t know what to do. She looked at Zavier pleadingly. Zavier chimed in, “Cornelia, He is so drunk. He probably can’t walk out of here. There’s a villa next door, why don’t you help him rest there for a bit?” Natalia asked, “President Hartley, would you like to rest?” “Alright Marcus managed to pull himself up, refusing Natalia’s help. Zaver asked, “Marc, do you need my help?”
• Marcus replied, “No need” Zavier handed the room key to Natalia, “Cornelia, please take good care of him. If you need anything, just give me a call. I’ll be on standby.” Natalia took the key and hurriedly caught up with Marcus. “Marc, all the best! Zavier watched their retreating figures, a determined glint in his eyes. If he didn’t know that the woman wasn’t Cornelia, he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, especially not a drunken Marcus. By the time Marcus sobered up, everything would have been done. He was eager to see how Marcus would manage to keep Cornelia By then, Marcus should understand how he was feeling right now. His assistant approached him, “Mr. Rivera, it’s dawn. Would you like to get some rest?” Zavier lit up a cigarette with a smile and walked into a posh room, “The stage is set, the show’s about to start. How can I miss it?” It took a while to reach the room because Marcus was unsteady on his feet. Natalia opened the door with the room key and stepped aside for Marcus to enter first. The room was spacious with minimal decoration, making the bed look even larger. Marcus walked straight to the bed and collapsed onto it, motionless. “President Hartley…” Natalia softly called out. When he didn’t respond, she gently sat down next to him.
• Back in the day, all Natalia could think about was how to get close to Marcus, and how to become his gal. Now, Marcus was right beside her, her wish soon to come true. But surprisingly, she didn’t feel as happy as she thought she would Instead, a kind of indescribable feeling spread in her heart, which was clenched so tight she could barely breathe But for a better life, she couldn’t chicken out. She had to sleep with Marcus tonight. If she could successfully carry Marcus child tonight, she would no longer be under Cameron’s thumb. She reached out to unbutton Marcus‘ shirt, but her hand was shaking uncontrollably. Natalia kept pep talking herself, that the current Marcus wasn’t fully awake, and that he was not that scary. However, to Natalias surprise, before she could touch Marcus, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, his voice cold as an icy devil, “Who the hell are you?” Natalia jumped, her voice trembling. ‘President Hartley, you’re so drunk you don’t recognize me? I’m Cornelia” With a bit of force from Marcus, Natalia’s bones crackled “Spill!” Marcus shouted This woman was not Comelia. When she got close to him, he felt that her scent was off. Cornelia always had a fresh fragrance about her, her unique scent that he had never smelled on anyone else This woman’s face looked like Cornelia’s, but she didn’t have the familiar scent.
