IMPULSIVE VOW TO AN ENIGMATIC HUSBAND - Season 1 Episode 63

Cornelia smiled at her, “Ms. Hartley, good evening!

Briana enthusiastically grabbed Cornelia’s hand, “We’re gonna play a role playing game. Marcus,

Cornelia, wanna join?”

You guys go ahead I dont wanna be a party pooper” Cornelia just wanted to find a place to chill and

think about how to deal with Courtney

Marcus flat–out refused. “Not interested”

“Alright, well go play then.” Briana dragged a stiff Natalia away, ‘Natalia, why are your hands so cold?”

Natala said nothing

Cold? She almost lost that hand!

Cornelia and Marcus were the only ones left in a relatively quiet corner.

President Hartley, thank you!” He said she didn’t have to be afraid of anyone, nor the Reese family.

Today, he showed her with his actions that she could believe every word he said

Why not join the game?” Marcus‘ deep and sexy voice rang in Cornelia’s ears as his tall figure sat

beside her.

He was close to her, separated by only about two fists width. She could smell the faint fragrance of his

cologne. Cornelia felt a bit nervous and subconsciously moved to the side

Marcus noticed her little movement and thought about how Natalia threatened her and she had to put

on a brave face today Feeling slightly displeased, Marcus said, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”

Cornelia wanted to but didn’t dare.

On the way back, she remembered how Billy threatened her, “Ms. Stewart, before you tell President

Hartley about the madam looking for you, think about your grandma far away in Rosenberg. You have

someone protecting you, but she doesn’t.”

Cornelia shook her head, put on her high heels, and said before she took off, “President Hartley, I’ll go

check on the guests and see if they’re having fun.”

As Cornelia got up to leave, Marcus Tm sorry” stopped her.

Cornelia turned around abruptly, and their gazes met.

He stubbed out his cigarette, his voice heavy, “I’m sorry about what happened today, but I’ve taken

care of it. She won’t bother you again. You can work in peace”

The fear in Cornelia’s heart, the overwhelming sense of helplessness, was shattered by Marcus‘ words.

Her eyes got teary. She quickly blinked, forcing the tears back.

Her eyes and nose were red, but she stubbornly refused to cry in front of him.

Marcus thought that if he were her husband, he would hold her tight and tell her not to be afraid as long

as he was there.

But he was just her boss, and the man who had the right to embrace her would never be him.

“Thank you!” Cornelia quickly hid her emotions and said just one sentence.

Hearing her much lighter tone, Marcus felt better too. He once again subconsciously reached out to

ruffle her hair but stopped himself.

Again, he was about to lose control and forced himself to restrain from inappropriate behavior.

Marcus looked up. “If you don’t want to participate, I can call a driver to take you back.”

want to join. The fear and anxiety in her heart disappeared, and Cornelia’s mood brightened after being

concealed all day, President Hartley, have you ever played a murder mystery game?”

“No, but we can give it a try. “He seemed to have forgotten that he just said he wasn’t interested in the

game.

They joined a group of people playing the murder mystery game, all close to Marcus, like Cameron and

Natalia, Briana, Leonardo, and a few rich kids whose names Cornelia couldn’t

remember

Everyone was happy when they heard they would play together, especially Leonardo, “Bri said you

guys weren’t coming. I was so disappointed.”

Briana said. “The happiest person just now seemed to be you.”

The event planning staff suggested the murder mystery game. Cornelia knew young people liked to

play this game at parties, so she agreed.
