Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 453

Before eating, he would first disinfect his utensils, then wash them several times. His clothes were always immaculate, and if there was even a hint of a wrinkle, he’d toss

them

Just the thought of living with such a man gave Cornelia the heebie–jeebies.

Marcus asked, “Really you think so?”

Cornelia gave him a pleasing and sincere smile, nodding vigorously, “Absolutely!”

Marcus laughed mockingly. “You little fibber!”

Cornelia was taken aback. Had she lied to him? She just wanted to please him, to make her job a bit easier.

A while ago, she worked non–stop for two weeks. Today, she was planning to take a few days off with Ben to go home after signing a contract with Skyline Co

However, after Cornelia and Ben reported their work, Marcus asked Cornelia to stay, “Cornelia, are you free this afternoon? I’d like to invite you for lunch.

Just as Cornelia was at a loss on how to turn him down, Briana burst in, “Marc, can I borrow Cornelia for the afternoon?”

Cornelia was silently cheering This was her get out of jail–free card

Marcus was interrupted, his eyes darkened slightly behind his silver glasses. “This is working hours, who allowed you to barge into my office?”

“Sorry!” Briana hid behind Cornelia, peeking out from behind her to gauge Marcus‘ expression.

Cornelia laughed at her cute little antics, ‘Bri, your brother won’t bite. What are you up to?”

Briana smirked, “His look just now was scarier than a man–eater. He has one look when he needs me and another when he doesn’t. Cornelia, let me tell you, men are very fickle. Don’t be fooled by their façade.”

Seeing Cornelia’s genuine smile, Marcus‘ annoyance at Briana for interrupting his conversation with Cornelia faded, “What do you need Cornelia for?”

Briana clung to Cornelia, “I haven’t seen Cornelia in a long time, I want to invite her for lunch”

What was with these siblings today? Both wanting to invite her for lunch at the same time.

If she couldn’t go home to rest, Cornelia figured having lunch with Briana would definitely be more comfortable than with Marcus, “Bri, I’m free this afternoon”

Cornelia’s intention was clear. Her off work hours were her personal time, and she chose to have lunch with Briana.

Though he couldn’t have lunch with her alone, having lunch together was good enough. Marcus reluctantly conceded, “I’m hungry too. Let’s all have lunch together”

Briana looked troubled, “But I just want to have lunch with Cornelia”

Marcus stared at her, his eyes behind the silver glasses clearly issued a warning. “You dare to compete with me!”

Briana pretended not to see, linking arms with Cornelia all cutely. “Cornelia, who would you choose, my brother or me?”
