Chapter 9 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Comelia wasn't very good at food preparation, but Marcus didn't give her the chance to reply with a no. "There is an instruction manual and components for hangover soups in the kitchen. "Make it and telephone me when it's ready." Comelia had no option but to take up the mission. Fortunately, she had done numerous tasks since she was just a child, so it was not too difficult for her. She discovered the ingredients for the recipe, cleaned and shredded them, and within minutes, a hot cup of headache soup was ready. Comelia took the soup from the kitchen, but Alexander was nowhere to be observed within the living area of the house. She turned around and noticed the bedroom entrance opened slightly, with light seeping through the crack. She set the soup down and texted Marcus, "President Hartley, the sore throat soup is ready." If you don't need anything more, I'll leave."
• The doorbell rang shortly after Amanda sent the message, shocking her in the calm of the night. At such a late hour, her instincts told her it had to be the president's wife, and she became concerned. Although she and Marcus had a purely professional relationship, being home together in the wee hours of the night might easily lead to misconceptions. As she paused, the bedroom door unlocked, and Marcus emerged, dressed only in a bathrobe. "Go open the door." He had just had a shower, and the bathrobe was loosely draped over his body, water pouring from his hair. With his attractive visage, he appeared like a walking masculine hormone. Anyone who witnessed this incident would likely ponder too much. Cornelia gulped anxiously. "President Hartley, should I hide?" Marcus: "Why would you hide?" Cornelia said, "It wouldn't be good when your wife misunderstands."
• "Don't worry, she won't misunderstand, and I'm not interested in you. Marcus retaliated for what she had said to Leonardo earlier. Cornelia knew he wasn't interested in her, but she didn't want to cause any extra misunderstandings. If he wasn't concerned, what was she terrified of? She walked to the entrance and unlocked it. A guy and a lady stood outdoors. The woman was lugging an ambulance bag and appeared to be around forty years old. The man was massive and powerful, with a dark complexion and a large scar below his left eye. Cornelia recognized this man from a recent shopping trip to the capital. He was close to Marcus at the moment, but she hadn't seen him since they entered the retail establishment; therefore, she never suspected the man had anything to do with Marcus. The woman was astonished to see Cornelia and said, "Cornelia, what are you working here?"
