Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589 

She leaned on Marcusshoulder, too scared to even lift her head, pleading, President Hartley. I beg you, get me outta here” 

Snakes were Comelia’s worst nightmare, no doubt about it. She saw one when she was a kid and had nightmares for days Scared out of her wits, she didn’t give a hoot about acting ladylike She just clung to Marcus like a lifeline, only letting go once they were out of that hellhole 

Even though Cornelia didn’t want to let go, Marcus held her even tighter. He liked the fact that Cornelia needed him. He lifted her up gently, so she could lean better against him, Hold on tight, don’t fall off. I’ll get you out of here” 

Marcus carried Cornelia a good distance before she dared to peek back at where they’d come from No sign of that creepy snake, she breathed a sigh of relief 

Only then did she realize she was holding onto Marcus tight. She could smell the faint minty fragrance on him, as well as feel his body heat

Her heart pounded, felt like it was about to jump out of her throat

Cornelia hastily slid down from Marcus, “President Hartley,

She was so scared earlier, she hadn’t realized how unladylike she’d acted

Marcus was feeling all sorts of emotions, but he was good at hiding his feelings. He adjusted his glasses and pretended to be cool, asking. What happened?” 

Pretending nothing happened, Comelia tried to act normal too. But her face was as red as a beet

To ease Cornelia’s embarrassment, Marcus said, “I have the gardener tidy up the garden tomorrow, and this won’t happen again” 

Cornelia tried to change the subject, President Hartley what would you like to eat tomorrow? I’ll get up early to make you breakfast.” 

She was earning 500 bucks a day, she had to earn her keep and not just take the money and run

Marcus played along. Breakfast is already taken care of, and you don’t have to get up early. The holiday is about to end. You won’t have the chance to sleep in soon.” 

Cornelia said, Just doing lunch and dinner, and I’m taking 500 bucks off you a day I feel a bit guilty” 

Marcus chuckled. Sometimes, a person’s worth isn’t about how much they do, but about their own worth. I don’t want to eat their food. I want to eat yours, that shows you’re important to me You’re so important to me, even 5,000 a day wouldn’t be too much.” 

Cornelia asked, Am I that important to you?” 

YesMarcus answered firmly, and it wasn’t just about her cooking skills. It was because she was his wife, and that made her very important to him

Cornelia didn’t dare to go any further on this topic. She changed the subject again, President Hartley. Can I ask, how much does Finn charge you for a meal?” 

Marcus answered. Take a guess.” 

Cornelia thought for a moment. Even with her cooking skills, Marcus was willing to pay 500 a day With Finn’s superb cooking skills, his price for a meal should at least be double 

She took a bold guess, A thousand?” 

Thinking she could hire a worldrenowned chef like Finn with a grand, this girl sure lacked imagination

Marcus said, Guess again.” 

Cornelia asked, Is it more or less?” 

Marcus replied, Less.” 

Cornelia plucked up the courage and guessed an extremely unlikely number, “Five thousand?” 

Marcus said. You can guess a little higher”
