Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035
Marcus put a stop to any nonsense, “Whether we’re a match or not, we’re married. She’s mine forever.”
“Yours? You’re pretty full of yourself.” Mr. Augustine quipped, raising an eyebrow as he added more food to Cornelia’s plate, “Nelly, I think we get along pretty well. We should keep in touch. You can reach out to me if there’s anything you need.”
Cornelia said, “Okay!”
Old Mr. Abner added, “Nelly, let’s exchange contacts too. I’ve been kicking myself for not getting yours last time. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need help, even if Marcus is giving you a hard time. I’ll have your back.”
Cornelia jotted down the two old men’s contacts with a smile, “With you guys as my protectors, does this mean I’m free to live anywhere in this country?” “That’s a given.” Old Mr. Abner replied, “Especially with Mr. Augustine’s high-ranking status, even your hubby wouldn’t dare cross the line.”
Mr. Augustine wasn’t just a businessman, his family held great power. They were pretty low-key though, hardly the talk of the town.
Cornelia said, “Marcus is my husband. He’s always been good to me, never mistreated me. If you guys truly care about me, could you go easy on him?”
Marcus, who had been in a foul mood, brightened up at Cornelia’s words.

He shot the two old men a smug look, as if to say, “See, no matter what you say, as long as I have Cornelia by my side, I’m good.”
Mr. Augustine shot Marcus a displeased look, “Men are often deceivers. Always stay alert, it’s for your own good.”
Cornelia made her stance clear, “I might distrust anyone, but I trust Marcus.”
Mr. Augustine sighed, “Another naive girl.”
Old Mr. Abner asked, “Who else is a naive girl?”
Mr. Augustine didn’t reply, instead he continued serving Cornelia food. The more he looked at her, the more he felt a strange bond.
With the two old men’s special attention, Cornelia ate so much she felt uncomfortable on the ride home.
Marcus said, “Silly girl, don’t force yourself to eat if you’re full.”
Cornelia replied, “They were so nice and warm to me. I couldn’t bear to reject them.”
Marcus said, “Part of growing up is learning to say no. When you can say no, that’s when you’ve changed.”
Comelia said, “I can say no to others, but not to those who are kind to me.”
Marcus replied, “But you have to learn slowly.”
Comelia wanted to say something more but felt too unwell, she leaned back in her seat, “I need to rest a bit. Wake me up when we get home.”
“Alright.” Marcus drove towards Lakeview Estates.
