Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754 

“We shouldn’t feel ashamed just because you’re the victim. The idea of blaming the victim is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. The ones who should be shamed, blamed, and punished by law are those abusers.” 

Comelia looked at him, listening to his deep voice. It felt like she was back to a year ago when she was sexually harassed at work. He told her the same thing then. 

She wasn’t wrong, but the one who harassed her was. 

This society was often incredibly unfair to women. For instance, when a girl was secretly photographed and the pictures were uploaded online, the ones who should be blamed were those taking and spreading the photos. But instead, people online blamed the girl for dressing too provocatively, saying that if she wore pants instead of a skirt, no one would take her picture. 

Comelia took a deep breath and buried her head in his chest, “Why didn’t you hug me? Do you know how scared I was just now?” 

He probably had no idea how scared she was. She was afraid he would be like Roman, judging her as a loose woman and decide to divorce her. 

Marcus caught her as she leaned into him, holding her tight, “I’m sorry!” 

Comelia wnggled in his arms, “Stop saying sorry!” 

“Hey, what are you two up to? Surely you haven’t been hugging all afternoon?” Zack, just waking up and still a bit groggy, was heading to the kitchen to get some water. As he passed Cornelia’s room, he saw them hugging through the slightly ajar door, and he felt a pang of, jealousy, “You could at least shut the door if you’re gonna cuddle, why’d you let me see?” 

Cornelia lifted her head from Marcus‘ chest, “You’re awake? Your head still hurts? Are you hungry? What do you want for dinner?” 

Noticing the redness around Comelia’s eyes, Zack immediately became worried, “Did you cry? Did Marcus bully you?” 

Cornelia replied, “I’ve told you so many times, he’s been really good to me, and wouldn’t bully me, why don’t you believe me?” 

Zack didn’t answer. 

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe. He did. But seeing them together always gave him a complicated feeling. Like a father watching his son–in–law, growing more and more dissatisfied. 

Just then, Marcus‘ private phone suddenly rang. He pulled out his phone and saw it was Granny Luisa calling, then smiled at Cornelia, “It’s Granny, she’s probably rushing us to come home.” 

Cornelia said, “Tell Granny we’re going to have dinner with Zack before we go back.” 

Today was Zack’s birthday, and Cornelia would never let Zack eat dinner alone, or else he would complain about it for the rest of his life. However, when Marcus answered the phone, his expression immediately changed. He paused, then said to Cornelia, “Your grandmother, suddenly falls ill, she’s in the hospital, we need to go now.”
