Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44
Ingredients were all set, and Cornelia
started to whip up the sauce first
The pot of water was already boiling on the side Cornelia threw in the pasta, and once they were ready, she took them out and rinsed them in cold water
Finally, the pasta was ready, and she poured the sauce
Patricia was amazed by Cornelia’s smooth moves.
Nowadays, many girls didn’t know how to cook, let alone cook well. And someone as beautiful as Cornelia who could also cook well? That’s like finding a needle in a haystack! Patricia’s mouth was watering when she saw the aromatic pasta “Ms. Stewart, your husband is one lucky man! Marrying a girl who’s so good at cooking”
Not wanting to talk about her annoying husband, Cornelia changed the subject. I made a lot, Patricia. Do you wanna give it a try?”
“Oh, Cornelia, you made some for me too?” Patricia was thrilled. “Later, tell me what you put in it so I can try making it myself when I crave it.”
“Sure thing” Cornelia said confidently with a smile. “Many people can make it, but this is my grandma’s secret recipe. You won’t find anything like it in a restaurant”
Patricia rubbed her hands excitedly. Then I gotta learn it well”
Marcus entered the room and smelt something different. It didn’t smell like his usual breakfast.
He’s drawn to the aroma and saw Cornelia and Patricia happily chatting in the kitchen.
His eyes landed on Cornelia’s tall, slim figure, and a terrifying thought came to mind.
If only he could see her every morning…
Patricia spotted him first, “Marc, want some pasta?”
Marcus never ate pasta for breakfast. “No thanks”
Patricia glanced at Cornelia, who whispered, “He doesn’t want any. I’ll eat some more.”
Cornelia turned to see Marcus, who was wearing his usual white shirt and black pants, but all she could see was his abs
She shook her head quickly to forget those inappropriate images.
At the dining table,
Marcus had a nutritious breakfast, which was healthy but bland.
In front of Cornelia were two plates of mouth-watering pasta, smelling and tasting great.
Marcus noticed the two plates in front of Cornelia, wondering how such a slender girl could eat so much in the morning without bursting. “Are both yours?”
Cornelia nodded, “Yep, these are the pasta I cooked. I don’t want to waste them, so I eat two.”
Marcus didn’t say anything, but his eyes remained on the untouched plate.
Cornelia got the hint and cautiously asked, “President Hartley, would you like to try some?”
That’s what Marcus was waiting for. “Maybe.”
Cornelia immediately handed him the bowl, “President Hartley, please enjoy!”
Marcus took a bite with his fork. He’s very picky about the taste of food, and wouldn’t take a second bite if he did not like it..
Cornelia was overjoyed to see him finish the entire plate.
His empty bowl was proof of her cooking skills. “President Hartley, my cooking is not bad, right?”
Though her pasta was not quite as good as those made by professional chefs, Marcus didn’t hold back his praise when she’s expecting it. “Yes, very good.”
“Thank you for the compliment, President Hartley!” With the praise, Cornelia’s face was full of genuine smiles for the whole morning.
After confirming the birthday party decoration plan with the event planning company, Cornelia handed the tablet to Marcus and said, “President Hartley, please take a look and see if theres anything else that needs to be changed”
Marcus took the tablet, and Cornelia waited quietly beside him. The two sat close together at the bar counter.
Patricia watches the handsome man and beautiful woman from a distance. They seem like a picture-perfect scene.
For a moment, Patricia wisheed Cornelia would become Mrs. Hartley, but then-
“Marc, I’m back!” A young, crisp voice broke the afternoon silence, followed by a lively girl appearing before them.
The girls face was full of radiant smiles, but her expression instantly changed when she sees the woman next to Marcus.
She yelled without hesitation, pointing at Cornelia, “You shameless woman! How dare you show your face here!”
