Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 268

"You think I give a damn about this chump change?" Marcus was ticked off by her words. Then, something else stirred him up even more. When she raised her hand, he saw blood on her palm. She must've scratched herself in her heated state.

He quickly grabbed her hand, "What's wrong?"

Cornelia didn't feel any pain. She was so flustered she tried to pull her hand back, "I'm fine."

"Say you're fine one more time, I dare you!" Marcus held her hand tight, his voice stern, "First, we're getting Dr. Dawson to look at your wound, then you can talk with Justin."

Cornelia wanted to protest, but seeing his grim expression, she held her tongue and obeyed.

Marcus arranged for Cornelia and Justin's conversation to take place in a greenhouse located in the garden, where he thought the warm atmosphere would make Cornelia comfortable.

He didn't accompany them. It was just Cornelia and Justin in the greenhouse. But he had a clear view of their every move from outside.

Briana walked up to Marcus, "Bro, how can you just let Cornelia be with Justin like that? He's obviously bad news. What if he hurts Cornelia?"

"She's mine. He wouldn't dare lay a finger on her," Marcus turned to glance at Briana, feeling touched by his little sister's concern for Cornelia.
