Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009

Marcus was standing with his back to her, tall and straight as a rod.

He was probably saying something. Brennen was also talking, but she couldn't hear anything. All she could feel was the tension building up around them because of their standoff.

Every second of her wait felt like pure agony. In an attempt to chill out a bit, Cornelia decided to chat up Ayden, "Ayden..."

Ayden responded in a calm tone, "What's up?"

Cornelia asked, "Could you maybe stick with him? He won't let me be there, but he didn't say you couldn't. Could you...?"

Ayden assured her, "President Hartley is a tough cookie. Brennen's got nothing on him. You've got nothing to worry about..’

It was not that she doubted Marcus’ strength, but she was worried that Brennen would use family ties to hurt Marcus. Marcus might seem cold as ice on the surface, but deep down he was actually quite sensitive. When faced with the truly heartless Brennen, even if Marcus came out on top, it could still wound his soul.

But she didn't know how to express all this to Ayden, so all she could do was wait in silence, hoping Marcus could settle the score with Brennen ASAP.

Cornelia waited anxiously. About half an hour later, Marcus finally turned around and walked toward her. Cornelia rushed up to him, grabbing his hand.

In such hot weather, his hand was as cold as ice. She rubbed his hand, "Why are your hands so cold? What did he say to you?"

Marcus scoffed, "What else could he say? He's just trying to get something he wants from me..’

He didn't want to go into detail, and Cornelia didn't push it, "Let's get out of here.”

From the moment she stepped in, Cornelia felt there was something off about this place. It gave her the creeps.
