Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1007

Chapter 1007

Brennen instantly swiveled his head towards Marcus, "So, you're here. I guess I had to invite your wife to get your attention.”

Cornelia suddenly realized that Brennen’s true target had always been Marcus, and she was just a bait to lure him out.

Marcus shot Brennen a cold glance and moved over to Cornelia, pulling her into his side. "Did he hurt you?" he asked.

Cornelia shook her head, "How did you get here?"

Marcus gently patted her head, "We'll talk about it later. For now, you need to leave. Ayden is waiting for you outside.”

"I want to stay with you." In Cornelia's eyes, Brennen was a man completely devoid of familial affection.

Well, that wasn't entirely accurate. It wasn't that Brennen lacked familial affection, it was just that he never saw Marcus as family.

To Brennen, Marcus was disposable. If he chose to hurt Marcus, it would be brutal. Cornelia didn't want to leave Marcus alone in this predicament. She wanted to stand by his side, if he would allow her.

Marcus laughed lightly, "Trust me on this. This is between me and that bastard. I can handle it. Don't worry."

Cornelia wanted to say something, but Marcus cut her off, "I don't want you involved in this."

With Marcus being so straightforward, Cornelia didn't push it.

"Alright, I'll be waiting at the door. Just give me a sign if you need me."

Her simple words always had a way of softening him. "Okay..."

As Cornelia began to walk away, a loud bang echoed behind her.

She whirled around to see a deep wound on Brennen's forehead, blood streaming down his face, painting a horrifying and eerie picture.

Brennen wiped the blood off his face, but he was still smiling.

"Never thought you, of all people, would care so much about this woman.”

Marcus’ icy voice reached Cornelia's ears again. "Insult me, and I can let it slide. But if you dare to speak ill of her again, I'll make sure you never speak another word."

Brennen smirked, “And what if I do? What can you do to me? Kill me? I'm not afraid of death. If you want to take my life with yours, I won't care."

Marcus retorted, "If you're so eager to die, I'd be happy to oblige!”
