Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 97

Chapter 97 

Cornelia’s mom, Clair Dennis, took off and ditched her dad, Hawthorne Stewart, after giving birth to 

Cornelia. She left Rosenberg, and has not been heard from since. 

Her dad died in a car crash when she was five, so her grandma raised her all by herself, and she suffered a lot of bullying in her childhood. 

Since her family situation was pretty messed up, she matured early, often helping her grandma with chores. At the age of sixteen, she was admitted to the University of Riverton with excellent grades 

She thought everything would get better once she got into college, but in her sophomore year, she got framed and had to leave Rosenberg, but she did not return to her hometown for several years. 

Back to Riverton to deal with affairs, the boy who had promised to protect her for the rest of his life also dumped her at the airport. 

For the next two years, she juggled school and part–time jobs, so when she graduated, she had enough money to start a studio with her buddies. At the same time, she joined a branch of the Hartley Group 

Soon after, thanks to some matchmaking by both their grandmas, she got a marriage certificate with Jeremy with apprehension and anxiety, and became his legal wife. 

Before getting married, she had experienced all the misfortunes, and considering that he was not her husband, it was understandable that he did not do his best to protect her 

But after getting married? 

When she got slandered at work, he was right there, but all he did was coldly tell her to find proof of her innocence. Where was he when she went back to Rosenberg and got picked on? 

Her friends were the ones there for her when she needed help, while her husband not only didn’t help her but pushed her deeper into the abyss. 

What’s the difference between him and the guy who dumped her years ago when she needed help the most? 

Feeling guilty and ashamed, Marcus couldn’t bring himself to tell her his true identity and just said, “Cornelia, I’m really sorry!” 

Since Marcus apologized sincerely, Cornelia let it go, “President Hartley, I forgive you. Please, you and your friends, stop saying weird stuff to me. You’re married, and so am I. I’ve never thought about reaching for someone like you.” 

Even though she had no clue what her husband looked like, she never thought about hiding her marital status. She’d be faithful to her marriage, even if her husband threatened to divorce 

Little did she know that Marcus was desperately wishing for her to have even a tiny thought of “reaching for him. 

“Can I give you a ride home?” Marcus instinctively reached out to hold her hand, but he had to restrain himself because of their official relationship. 

“No need to trouble President Hartley. I’ll walk out and get a cab.“Even though she was mad at him today and he apologized, Cornelia didn’t dare forget how scary his true side was. No way she’d let him be her driver. 

When she refused, Marcus had no choice but to compromise, “How about Ayden takes you home?” 

“Thanks” Cornelia agreed right away. She wasn’t dumb enough to walk out when it’s dark. 

Marcus had always known that Cornelia kept a proper distance from him outside of work, but it still made him uncomfortable to see her reject him decisively and happily accept Ayden to 

send her back.
