Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 945

Chapter 945

This was Clair’s recent contact with Marcus, and her best shot at becoming Marcus’s mother–in–law. She certainly

wouldn’t let this opportunity slip through her fingers, and she said, “Nelly, if you forgive me, I’ll give you a well–

decorated house in Riverton. You won’t have to squeeze in that tiny rental with your two friends anymore”

“What gives you the right to call me Nelly? Don’t ever say my name again. It makes me sick just to hear you say it.

And for the record, I’m happy living with my friends, even if we’re in a basement. My grandma doesn’t need you to

pay respects either, I’m afraid it will tarnish her gravestone Cornelia stormed to the door, yanking it open, “Get

out!”

Unexpectedly, Marcus was standing at the door.

Cornelia froze, her voice dwindled to a whisper, so low that Marcus could barely hear her if he didn’t pay close

attention, a far cry from her earlier bravado, “When did you get back?”

“Just now.” Marcus confirmed that Cornelia was okay, then turned his icy, cold gaze towards Clair.

Clair feigned surprise, “Marc, what are you doing here?”

“Ayden, see the guest out!” Marcus didn’t want to exchange an extra word with Clair.

Ayden immediately stepped forward, “Please leave!”

“Cornelia, are you and Marc… Clair tried to say something, but Ayden pulled her out before she could finish

Marcus closed the door and turned around to see Cornelia collapsed on the floor. Luckily, his quick reflexes allowed

him to catch her, “Cornelia” Cornelia weakly leaned into his arms. Once the dizziness subsided, she looked up at

him, “Do you know why Clair was here?”

Marcus brushed the stray hair away from her forehead, “I know.”

Cornelia asked. “She said she’s my mother. Do you believe her?”

Marcus answered, “I had it investigated, and she is likely your mother.”

Cornelia suddenly became agitated, “She’s not! She’s not! How could my mother be like her?! A woman who always

despises me, accused me of theft, destroyed our studio, and wished I would disappear. How could a person who

has done so many bad things to me be my mother!”

Marcus rubbed her back, soothing her, “Okay, if you say she’s not, then she’s not.”

Cornelia continued, “My grandma once told me that my dad loved my mom very much, and my mom was a very

kind person. She must’ve had her reasons for leaving my dad and me. Even after she left, my grandma couldn’t

bear to say anything bad about her. How could she turn into Clair who only cares about money and not feelings.”

Cornelia firmly believed her mother was a kind person, but Marcus knew her grandma probably just wanted to

protect the image of her mother in her heart.

But Marcus couldn’t say these things out loud, he also wanted to protect the goodness in Cornelia’s heart. However,

even if Marcus didn’t say it, Cornelia knew it deep down. She just didn’t want to admit that such a woman was her

mother. She chuckled and said, “But that’s the reality. Even though I don’t want to admit it, that disgusting woman

is the one who gave me life.”

Marcus, more than Cornelia, understood the pain of having parents he despise, “We can’t choose where we come

from, we can’t sever the blood ties with them. But when we grow up, we can choose the life we want.”

Marcus had prepared to console Cornelia, but Cornelia suddenly asked him, “When did you find out she was my

mother?”
