Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821 

Today, Comelia was playing the role of the adult. Even in the face of enemies, even with fear filling her heart, she didn’t let it show 

She gritted her teeth, swallowed her fear, and told herself she couldn’t show weakness, couldn’t back down, and certainly couldn’t let anyone know she was scared, because she had to protect Briana standing behind her. 

Not until she saw Marcus, who, at that moment, became her rock, did she let down all her pretenses and show her true self 

Looking up at him, Cornelia had so much to say, but before she could open her mouth, he asked, “What happened to your face?” 

Cornelia didn’t want him to worry, so she tried to brush it off with a joke. “I lost a fight and bit myself.” 

But Marcus didn’t buy it, “Ayden!” 

Ayden lowered his head “I failed to protect Mrs Hartley. President Hartley, I’m willing to accept any punishment!” 

Marcus‘ face darkened, his eyes cold “You think a punishment would solve everything? She got hurt, and you didn’t tell me?” 

If he knew Cornelia was hurt, he wouldn’t have spent so much time watching her from the second floor… 

Cornelia didn’t want Ayden to be punished because of her, so she quickly defended him, “If it weren’t for Ayden arriving in time, Bri and I might have been taken away. Don’t blame him, okay?” 

Ayden, as always, was expressionless, “Protecting Mrs. Hartley is my duty. I failed, I should be punished” 

Cornelia was speechless. 

Marcus said, “Go and accept your punishment.” 

“Yes” Before Ayden left, he didn’t forget to handle the two fake cops. 

“Bro, can you pay attention to me for once?” Briana felt her brother was becoming more and more strange. Clearly, she was the one who first saw him blocking the car that kidnapped them, but after he glanced at her to make sure she was alright, he walked straight towards Cornelia, completely ignoring her. 

Marcus reached out and patted Briana’s head. ‘I will handle your things. You and Cornelia rest at home for a few days, don’t worry about anything else.” 

Briana bit her lip and whispered, “Bro, I’m scared. I’m scared that my missing exhibit is just a warning from them, and they will do something worse. It’s been so many years, but every time I think of that person, I feel afraid. I hate this feeling of helplessness…” 

Marcus interrupted her, “Briana, you need to understand that you’re an adult now. You’re not that little girl who was bullied anymore. You should learn to forget the things that happened to you when you were young. 

“If you keep dwelling on it, those people and things that hurt you will haunt you like a nightmare and you won’t be able to get rid of them.
