Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 700

Chapter 700 

Comelia just managed to steady Briana, who was losing her balance, and asked, “Briana, what are you up to?” 

“I’m just checking to see if you guys have any specific dietary needs.” Briana quickly concocted an excuse. “Granny wanted to know what you’d like for dinner so she can prepare it in advance.” 

“I’m not picky, I can eat anything.” replied Comelia. “But you could prepare some light, easily digestible food for your brother. He hasn’t been feeling well lately.” 

Feeling unwell? They’d only just met and he was already sick? Did he have health issues? 

It seemed Briana had her answer. She needed to inform Granny so she could take good care of Marcus. Otherwise, the Hartley family would be left without an heir. 

Briana looked at Comelia, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy. “You really have it tough, having to deal with this at such a young age.” 

Suddenly, Comelia understood what Briana meant. 

Marcus had health problems! 

This was something she had unintentionally found out before. Ever since finding out about his identity, she had been in shock and at a loss, so she had forgotten about Marcus‘ health issues. 

Fortunately, Briana reminded her in time, otherwise, when the day came, it would surely have been a big blow to Marcus. 

His pride would certainly be hurt! 

So she had to come up with a plan, even if it was at the right moment, she had to try to avoid doing it in a way that would hurt his pride. Anyway, this kind of thing wasn’t that big of a deal for her. She could even go without it for a lifetime. 

Cornelia decided to give up herself and spend the rest of her life with him. 

Marcus‘ face darkened, “Briana, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Tell me now, what were you doing at the door?” 

Briana quickly hid behind Cornelia, “What do you want me to confess? Look at my brother, he’s always bullying me.” 

Cornelia, “President Hartley, stop bullying Briana all the time.” 

Briana, “What did you call him? You still call him President Hartley? Is it not enough to be bullied by him at work, you want to be oppressed by him at home too? You should call him hubby and take control at home.” 

Cornelia, “What are you talking about?” 

Marcus, “Don’t spoil her. She’s eavesdropped on our conversations more than once.” 

Cornelia, “Briana, did you really eavesdrop on our conversation?”
