Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 

In this world, it’s hard to find another person as fussy about food as he is. 

Cornelia always remembered how picky Marcus was about his food when she first began working with him. 

He wouldn’t touch food that was slightly too cold or too hot.. He also wouldn’t eat food that was a bit greasy or too bland. In general, the food had to be prepared exactly to his liking, almost driving the chef in charge nuts. 

But then again, Marcus seemed to have become less picky lately. 

Perhaps it’s because he’s been hanging out a lot with his wife, who loved spicy food, that his eating habits had changed. 

“What are you thinking about?” Marcus’s voice gently rang in her ear. 

“Nothing.” Cornelia wanted to drink some water to cover up her embarrassment, but she twisted the bottle cap twice without opening it. 

Marcus took the bottle from her hands, effortlessly opened it for her, and handed it back. 

“Thanks, President Hartley!” After drinking a few sips of water, Cornelia felt much better. “Why haven’t you gone home yet? It’s late.” 

“I’ve been checking the house, spent some time, and discussed some renovation matters with the designer, so I’ve been busy till now. All these trivial matters could be delegated; he just needed to give orders. He stayed because of her. 

“I see.” Not knowing what else to say, Cornelia turned her head and said, “President Hartley, I have friends waiting for me to bring water back; I’ll go first.” 

“Sure.” Marcus didn’t try to keep her. He watched her leave, then continued to deal with the related paperwork. 

So, when Cornelia and her friends went to deal with the house transfer procedures, they unexpectedly ran into Marcus again. 

Zack Ruck was the first to notice him and grumbled, “How come we bump into this guy everywhere?” 

Cornelia lightly punched Zack, saying, “Zack, how could you say that? Can’t he be here? He also bought a house here; we might run into him often.” 

Zack said, “He’s a billionaire; he bought such a house all of a sudden; I can’t believe he doesn’t have any other motives.” 

Cornelia said, “So, you get uncomfortable when you see a man who’s more handsome and richer than you?” 

Zack said, “Are you kidding? How is that possible?” 

Abigail Young said, “I think Zack might be onto something. Do you guys think Marcus bought a house here because of me?” 

Cornelia and Zack said at the same time, “What kind of dream are you having?”
