Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547 

Comelia was clutching her chest with one hand while trying to push Marcus away with the other but he stood firm like a mountain, unyielding to her efforts. 

In desperation, Comelia even resorted to using her feet “I told you to leave, don’t touch me!” 

Marcus grabbed her tightly, his handsome face filled with a serious expression “Cornelia, stop struggling! What happened? Tell me!” 

Maybe his aura was too intimidating, or maybe because she’d been working under him for so long that she was used to obeying him. 

He told her to stop moving, and she really did, obediently laying on the bed like a lamb waiting for slaughter. 

She couldn’t break free from his control no matter how hard she tried. Now, even her thoughts were under his control. For a moment, Cornelia felt like a puppet in his hands, he could manipulate her as he liked. As long as he didn’t let go, she couldn’t escape. 

This thought made Cornelia’s emotions completely break down. ‘I told you to let me go, can’t you hear me? Who the hell are you? What do you want?” 

“Okay, I’ll let you go But you promise me, stay still, let’s talk, okay?” Cornelia’s reaction was abnormal, forcing Marcus to step back. 

He had to find out why Cornelia was reacting so desperately, so he could respond appropriately and calm her down. 

Cornelia didn’t listen to him. Once she got her freedom, she slid off the bed from the other side. 

In this moment, she had lost all reason and blurted out, “You’re nobody to me, why should I talk to you? You’re Marcus, the CEO of the Hartley Group, my superior. You’re not my husband, my husband is Jeremy. It can only be Jeremy. I will always only be an employee to Marcus…” 

These words were like needles stabbing into Marcus’s heart, the pain spreading throughout his body. 

The pain was so intense it made his temples throb, his forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he could taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth… 

Marcus didn’t want Cornelia to see his pitiful state, nor did he want her to worry. Even though he was weak to the point of nearly collapsing, he still turned around elegantly slowly took out a tissue to cover his mouth, and spit out the blood. 

When he turned around to walk towards Cornelia again, his foot slipped. His tall body weakly fell towards Cornelia… 

Inside, Cornelia wanted to dodge, but her body was more honest than her heart. Instinctively, she caught his body falling towards her, a wave of concern washing over her. “President Hartley, what’s wrong?” 

“I’m fine, don’t worry…” Marcus leaned on her shoulder, inhaling her unique scent. In that moment, his unease suddenly subsided. 

*President Hartley, you… Cornelia wanted to say something, but she was interrupted when Dr. Dawson burst into the room. 

Dr. Dawson scolded harshly, “Cornelia, do you want Marcus to die? Is that when you’ll be satisfied? I’ve already said, he doesn’t need you here, but you still came. Since you’re here, you should sit quietly with him, not upset him. If something happens to him, can you bear that responsibility?” 

Marcus couldn’t tolerate anyone treating Cornelia this way. Even in his semi–conscious state, his words still carried overwhelming authority “Please leave!”
