Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chaper 219

Chapter 219 

Thanks, President Hartley!” As soon as Marcus walked into the hall, Cornelia quickly whipped out her phone to do some searching. 

Who would’ve thought? Turns out there are heaps of companies these days that specialize in inspecting houses, and a basic once–over is less than a grand. 

For a big city, that price isn’t too shabby, something that Cornelia could totally swing, but she felt awkward about turning down Marcus‘ good intentions. 

Abigail and Zack showed up too, both looking super pumped. “Cornelia, we’re gonna have our own place!” 

Comelia cracked a smile. “That’s right. One life goal down.” 

Zack said, “Let’s get the paperwork sorted.” 

“Sounds good.” After the three of them wrapped up the formalities, the designer, Trent Brown, arrived. 

Trent didn’t match his name at all. The bloke was tall and burly, sporting a pair of chunky black glasses, a long beard, and looking every bit the artsy type you see around town. 

Trent gave Cornelia the once–over. “Looks like my Jeremy’s got great taste. His wife is quite the looker.” 

This rubbed Cornelia the wrong way. “Your Jeremy?” 

Trent chuckled. “I’m fond of him. Nothing wrong with that, right?” 

Cornelia was taken aback. “He’s a guy, and you like him?” 

“What’s wrong with being a guy?” Trent shrugged nonchalantly. “I like him, but he’s not into me. He hasn’t been in touch for a while, and when he finally does, it’s to ask me to help you with house renovations. Guess I don’t rank too high in his books. You’re his one and only.” 

Abigail and Zack were startled by his words and quickly pulled Cornelia aside. “Cornelia, do you think Jeremy might be gay, and married you to cover it up?” 

Cornelia was also thrown by Trent’s words but chose to trust Jeremy. “I believe Jeremy wouldn’t lie to me.” 

Abigail and Zack looked disappointed. “Just watch out, okay? Don’t let a guy like that fool you.” 

Seeing the three of them looking worried, Trent looked mighty pleased and continued to stir the pot. “You guessed right. Jeremy and I do have ‘that kind of relationship. He married you just to throw people off.” 

Abigail and Zack were disgusted. “If you love each other, just be together. Why hurt an innocent girl?” 

Trent was smug. “We don’t mean to hurt anyone. Cornelia just got the short end of the stick.” 

Cornelia didn’t want to hear any more of his nonsense and texted Jeremy straight away. “Jeremy, what’s your relationship with the designer Trent Brown you recommended?” 

Jeremy replied promptly, “He’s a long–time friend.” 

Cornelia, “He says he’s into you and hinted at a special relationship with you. He says you married me to cover up your relationship.” 

Jeremy, “Do you believe him?” 

Cornelia, “If you say it’s not true, I’ll believe you.” 

Jeremy, “It’s not true.” 

Cornelia, “Okay, I trust you?” 

And just like that, Cornelia chose to trust him. Just when she thought he wouldn’t explain further, Jeremy sent another message. “Trent is a bad joker. He is straight, he and his wife are happily married, and he respects her a lot.”
