Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 368

Cornelia lightly patted Briana's head, "What's on your mind, kiddo? What could possibly happen between your brother and me? The worst case scenario is that he fires me and withholds all my wages. Would that make me dislike you?"

"Remember what I'm saying today. The relationship between us shouldn’t change because of my brother." Briana wasn't worried about this. She was worried that Cornelia wouldn't accept Marcus if she knew the truth about their relationship, that she would divorce Marcus, and then even hate her, the sister who helped Marcus deceive Cornelia.

When someone emphasized something over and over again, it was usually because they felt insecure. Cornelia didn't want to ask Briana, but she was afraid Briana would continue to overthink, "Bri, are you scared of your brother, or are you scared of the dark?"

Briana paused slightly, then shook her head vigorously.

Cornelia was looking straight into Briana's eyes when she asked, so the panic that flashed in Briana's eyes didn't escape her notice.

She didn't want to talk, and there must have been reasons. Cornelia gently massaged her head, "Go wash your face, change your clothes, we'll go downstairs to eat and watch a show."

Briana nodded, "Okay."

By the time Briana was ready and they were about to go downstairs, Ben was there, closing the curtains with the remote control.

Cornelia immediately stopped him, "The curtains in the Hartley house are very good at blocking light. Once they're drawn, the room becomes very dark and we need to turn on the lights, which wastes electricity. Don't close them, and open the ones that are already closed."
