Chapter 72 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• “Could it be that I really have the potential to be a bad girl like you said? I mean, I find some guys really attractive at first sight, and now I’m having such scary dreams?” She seemed to think of something funny and laughed. Tm not gonna have weird dreams again, am 175 No wonder she stared at him on her first day with him, finding him familiar but couldn’t remember who he was He almost missed her back then, but luckily he decided to keep her around in the end “Abby, tell me, am I really annoying?” “Who said you’re annoying?” f I’m not annoying, then why does everyone leave me?” She frowned, as if plunged into painful memories, ‘My mom, my dad, that person, and Jeremy.
• Hearing her mention his name, Marcus felt a mix of emotions He stroked her forehead. Don’t worry, Jeremy will never leave Cornelia, never” She didn’t listen to him, just kept spilling her deepest secrets, Ive been studying and working so hard, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why does everyone blame me?” “You did nothing wrong It’s those who hurt you are wrong.” “Really?” “Yes” Hearing the affirmation, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she gradually drifted off to sleep. Marcus sat by her bed, playing with her soft hair. After a while, she seemed startled by something and snuggled into his arms. “Don’t be scared “He whispered soothingly, staying with her in that position until dawn. Only when he thought she might wake up did he get up and leave Who would’ve thought he’d bump into Ben from the room across the hall? Ben’s eyes widened in surprise, President Hartley”
• Marcus gave him a cold glance, not bothering to explain anything, and went upstairs. President Hartley said he wouldn’t take advantage of people when they were down, so Ben felt relieved to sleep Now that the deed was done, what could he do? If Cornelia woke up and called the police, should he come forward to testify? Ben paced anxiously As a law–abiding citizen, he shouldn’t compromise his principles for a high salary. He should bravely step forward to expose President Hartley’s shameful behavior “That’s right, no matter who breaks the law, don’t be afraid.“Ben kept building himself up mentally After Marcus went back to his room, washed up, and changed clothes, he saw Ben still pacing on the second floor, “What are you mumbling about?” “You despicable scoundrel, you’d even hurt your own subordinate. You don’t deserve to know what I’m thinking!” Ben really wanted to curse at Marcus but as soon as he met Marcus‘ gaze, he chickened out, “No, nothing, President Hartley, I’ll get back to work.” As he tried to escape on his weak legs, Marcus called out to him, “Cornelia is someone I want to protect, I won’t hurt her.”
