Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 424

Chapter 424

The little girl seemed to get the gist, nodding her head, “I got it.”

From that day on, he decided to ban that couple from the Hartley’s old family house. He forced himself

to become stronger, because only by being strong could he protect the Hartley Group, get his

hardworking grandma to retire earlier, and protect his vulnerable little

sister.

“Huh!” Marcus chuckled coldly, remembering the past.

That man, whose name he didn’t even want to mention, was incapable of protecting his beloved

woman back then. Forced to marry a woman he didn’t love for the sake of profit, he blamed everyone

else for his own weakness and incompetence.

“Good morning, President Hartley!” Cornelia said.

A clear voice pulled Marcus back from his childhood memories. He looked up to see a beautiful figure.

The weather in Riverton wasn’t cold, it was quite warm by early March. So, Cornelia appeared before

him today was already dressed in her summer work clothes.

A simple, elegant white shirt paired with a black skirt accentuated her already attractive figure, making

it hard to look away.

A year ago, when he returned home, she was wearing the same outfit when she apply for his assistant.

Even her hairstyle remained the same, simple yet elegant.

Facing Marcus‘ gaze, Cornelia’s heart raced. She swallowed, certain that Marcus was plotting how to

punish her for her mistake last night.

After all, he was the one who messed up first last night. Otherwise, how could she have had the

courage to splash him with cold water? Cornelia wanted to explain, but the sight of Marcus’s deep gaze

made her suddenly afraid. Anyway, survival was the most important thing. “President Hartley, about last

night.” Cornelia said.

She was so brave when she splashed him with water last night, but now she was like a scared little

bird. It made her look kind of cute. He held back a laugh, “What about last night?”

Cornelia was stunned, “Last night, um.”

Did Marcus forget what happened last night? No, Marcus didn’t drink last night, he was sober when he

was badmouthing Jeremy.

Since he wasn’t drunk, then he definitely didn’t really forget. Maybe he realized badmouthing a friend

behind their back was wrong, so he pretended to forget.

If he was too embarrassed to admit he badmouthed a friend, then he definitely wouldn’t hold her

splashing water in his face against her. With this thought, Cornelia felt relieved. She smiled at him, her

voice much more confident than when she first greeted him, “Good

morning!”

“Good morning!” Marcus stood up and walked towards the dining room, “Let’s have breakfast first, we

have work to do later.”

“Of course.” Cornelia immediately followed him, sneaking a couple more glances at him.
