Chapter 69 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Cornelia didn’t think too much and blurted out, “You might not, but what about your wife? Have you ever considered the pressure she has to bear to be with you? Your brothers used to talk about her cheating on you right in front of me. Do you know what that means for a woman if such rumors spread? It would stain her reputation for life and people would never stop attacking her with it” “I’m sorry” Faced with Cornelia’s angry questioning. Marcus couldnt defend himself and was filled with quilt But he still wanted her to know. “Cornelia, first of all, you’re not an outsider to me Secondly, don’t worry, I’ll handle these matters, and no one will dare to gossip about this in the future He had said she was his assistant, knowing many things about him that others didn’t, so she was indeed not an outsider But why did he want her to feel at ease? What’s the point of her feeling at ease? Shouldnt he be reassuring his wife? Shouldn’t he be apologizing to his wife? Having calmed down, Cornelia realized that her emotions had been a bit excessive, President Hartley, I’m sorry! It’s none of my business.” Marcus loved his wife so much, so there was no need for her to worry You’re not meddling, and feel free to tell me anything you think in the future “Marcus not only had never dated, but he also had scarce contact with women outside of work Hedidn’t understand girls thoughts at all. At this moment, he realized how much his unintentional mistake had hurt her. Fortunately, Cornelia was willing to tell him everything directly, so he could address the problem accordingly, “Why did you suddenly bring this up?”
• Cornelia wanted to brush it off casually, but under his gaze, her mouth didn’t cooperate with her brain, and she spoke her mind, “When you were speaking on stage just now, those women were looking at you like hungry wolves, as if they wanted to gobble you up. I don’t know why, but I just felt worried for your wife Especially that young woman sitting to Marcus’s right, who was still staring at him The woman was beautiful and dressed in high–end clothes. She didn’t seem to be a staff member but probably a rich girl who came to find her ideal man. Cornelia felt that if Marcus got any closer to that woman, she would pounce on him and devour him. That was what she was worried about! Marcus smiled and gently said, “What does it matter how others look at me? My eyes are only for my wife.” Cornelia, See? She told herself she was worrying too much. As Cornelia had expected, after the opening ceremony, as their group was about to leave, Mr. Lacy from DigitalX Technologies approached them with that woman, “President Hartley. hello!” Marcus politely said, “Mr. Lacy, what can I do for you?” Mr Lacy smiled and led the woman next to him to Marcus, “This is my daughter Alvina Lacy.” “President Hartley, it’s a pleasure to meet you” Alvina Lacy said without hesitation, “May I have your contact information?” Marcus turned to Cornelia, “Cornelia”Cornelia asked. President Hartley? “Leave a contact for Ms Lacy” President Hartley, I want your personal contact.”
• Alvina Lacy thought to herself Who wants his work contact? What’s the point of getting in touch with his assistant? Mr Lacy politely said, President Hartley, my daughter admires you a lot Why don’t we have lunch together and chat while we ea17 Marcus understood what the father and daughter meant. Mr Lacy, I’m sorry! I’m having lunch with my wife Mr Lacy was surprised. President Hartley is married? Why haven’t I heard any news?” Marcus laughed “We’ve been registered for marriage for almost two years, but we’ve been too busy with work to have a wedding. When we do have our wedding, well definitely invite you Mr Lacy felt it was a pity, but still had to keep a smile on his face, “Alright, then I wish you and your wife a happy marriage!” “Well be going then!” Cornelia felt that Marcus’s way of refusal was direct and effective, not offending his business partners and also cutting off other people’s thoughts about him. She thought the matter was over, but in the afternoon after work, Alvina Lacy invited her to meet alone. The meeting place was a western restaurant. Alvina Lacy was as straightforward as her father, “Ms. Stewart, I invited you here for President Hartley.” Cornelia liked dealing with direct people, not having to waste time guessing their thoughts 7 know, but I don’t think I can help you with anything” Alma Lacy smiled. Tm going after the man I like myself, I never thought of asking you for help.” Cornelia was a bit confused. Then why did you need to talk to me?”
