Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 10

Dr. Dawson was busy mixing up some topical meds, while Cornelia was busy applying them to Marcus.

She was super focused and serious about it. Even though she had never been this close to a guy before, she didn’t feel awkward since. he was her patient.

Marcus’s face turned slightly red, but luckily, his redness from the severe allergy made it hard for others to notice his uneasiness.

After being married for over a year, he had only seen his wife on the day they registered their marriage. He had never been in such close. proximity to a girl before, so he felt a bit awkward and unsure of what to do.

After applying the meds to his back, Cornelia started applying them to his chest. Her smooth forehead moved in front of his eyes, and. her faint scent filled his nostrils…

“I can do it myself,” he suddenly said in a deep voice, startling Cornelia.

Cornelia looked at him, puzzled. “President Hartley, did I hurt you by pressing too hard?”

Marcus kept a straight face. “Ayden, take her home.”

Cornelia glanced out the window and saw that it was already getting light outside. She didn’t want to bother anyone. “it’s okay, I can just grab a cab home.”

Marcus said, “Suit yourself.”

Cornelia,

Man, guys are so hard to understand.

After Cornelia left, Dr. Dawson couldn’t help but blurt out, “Marc, Cornelia seems like a great girl.”

Marcus, “You want her to be your daughter–in–law?”

Dr. Dawson, “Is that what I said?”

Marcus, “What did you mean then?”

Dr. Dawson went silent.

She didn’t even know why she had said that..

Next few days, Cornelia suffered a lot in the company.

Cornelia reviewed her work from the past few days, and couldn’t find anything she had done wrong. But President Hartley kept finding fault with her and suddenly became this scary devil boss.

Ben also noticed it. At lunch with Cornelia, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you
