Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583 

Marcus never took to flattery, but if it was coming from Cornelia, he didn’t mind it one bit 

In fact, he kinda enjoyed hearing her butter him up 

As he watched her get all excited sweet talking him with that adorable look on her face, that strange, unsettling feeling that he didn’t quite understand was once again quickly spreading through his heart. 

It was intense, like it was trying to take over his mind and senses in a short span of time. 

Was this what they call having a crush? 

Marcus wasnt sure if this was what having a crush felt like, but he didn’t oppose it. In fact, he was quite chuffed to realize that he had a thing for Cornelia. 

Cornelia was his lawfully wedded wife; their relationship was legally protected. It was only natural for him to like his own wife. 

Swallowing hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing with the motion. His slender fingers lightly tapping the glass, he said, “Lel’s eat, quit the sweet talk.” 

His voice was hoarse. Even Marcus himself didn’t expect it 

“President Hartley, are you okay? Feeling unwell again?” Cornelia got worried hearing the roughness in his voice. She stood up and moved towards him, reaching out to touch his forehead. 

Marcus caught her hand, holding it in his palm, playing with it like a fascinating toy 

Taken aback, Cornelia quickly withdrew her hand, “President Hartley, please mind your manners!” 

Mind his manners! 

He had been minding his manners too much. His wife had been buzzing around him all day, and he hadn’t even properly held her hand, let alone anything else. 

With a slight smile, Marcus said, “What if I don’t want to mind my manners?” 

He was her husband after all. If he stopped minding his manners, holding her hand would be the least of it. Things could get a lot rpore intimate. 

Thinking of this, Cornelia got all flustered, stumbling over her words, “I… you!” 

When words failed her, she decided to simply leave. With that, she turned around and scampered out of the dining room, through the sprawling living room and into the yard. 

The cool night breeze hit her face, causing Cornelia to shiver and sober up a bit. 

Marcus was her husband, and intimacy was inevitable. But she was still struggling to accept her new status, instinctively feeling guilty for Jeremy if anything beyond the norm happened with Marcus. Hence her aversion to him holding her hand. 

She understood this, but truly accepting it was going to take some time.
