Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726 

She stared at the man who didn’t look at her. 

Maybe because he felt her stares on him, the man finally looked up from his book and asked, “What’s up?” 

Cornelia asked, “What’s that book you’re reading?” 

Was this book more interesting than she was? 

Marcus answered, “The Red and the Black.” 

Cornelia continued, “Is this your first time reading it? You look so engrossed.” 

Just last night he was holding her tight, but this morning he was acting all aloof. If that book was so great, he might as well cuddle up with it next time. 

Marcus answered, “I’ve read it several times. I discover something new each time.” 

He’d rather reread the same book again and again than glance at his newlywed wife. They had just gotten together and he was already giving her the cold shoulder. If this continued, everything would probably become more important than her. 

Cornelia was getting more and more pissed off and she pouted at him, “Hmph!” 

Her adorable pout made Marcus laugh. He put down his book and walked over to her, “What’s really bothering you? Tell me.” 

Cornelia hemmed and hawed, “What were you doing when I woke up yesterday morning?” 

Marcus answered, “The same thing as today, waiting for you to have breakfast together.” 

What did he mean the same as yesterday? Yesterday, as soon as she woke up, he looked right at her. 

Cornelia was even more pissed off, “Yesterday when I woke up, you immediately looked at me. But today you didn’t…” 

So that was why she was upset! 

She was so straightforward, it was endearing. But, she didn’t know that he didn’t dare to look at her because he had just taken a cold shower and didn’t want to have to take another one because of her. 

Marcus walked to the edge of the bed and pulled her into his arms, “I promise, it won’t happen again.” 

Seeing him comply so easily, Cornelia felt a little embarrassed. She looked up at him and said, “I’m not expecting you to do everything I say. It’s just that today was a bit different from yesterday, which gave me a sharp sense of contrast. You could look at me first, then read your book…”

Chapter 726 

Cornelia’s style was to clear the air, which was also Marcus‘ preferred way of dealing with things. No need to guess or assume. 

Marcus chuckled, “Got it.” 

Cornelia said, “You can let go of me now, I’m going to go freshen up.” 

Marcus replied, “Alright.” 

Today was the weekend, and neither Marcus nor Cornelia had to work. The old folks wanted them to stay home for the day, so the two grannies had already planned the day’s activities. 

Seeing the two of them coming downstairs together, Granny Luisa told the maid to prepare breakfast while asking, “Marc, Nelly, would you like to play some bridge with us today?” 

Cornelia apologized, “I’m sorry, Granny. It’s my friend Zack’s birthday today. I have to go be with him. I promised to take Marc with me.”
