Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 421

Marcus got serious and said in a low voice, "I'm not a fan of this kind of joke."

Sallie laughed and replied, "Of course, I don't really want you to do anything, just to make Cornelia misunderstand what's happening between us. If she gets jealous and upset, then it proves she has feelings for you. But if she doesn't react, then all I can do is wish you two can develop feelings for each other."

"I'm against using a method that could potentially hurt Cornelia to test her feelings for me," Marcus stated. Even if Cornelia didn't accept him, as her legal husband, he would never do anything that could hurt her.

Sallie knew Marcus was a principled man, and any persuasion would be useless, "Alright, pretend I never said anything. But I really don't know what else I could do to help you."

Marcus said, "I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up, he scrolled through the contacts on his phone. His work phone was full of business associates, and his private phone had almost no reliable contacts.

He stared at it for several minutes, but didn't make a single call.

He took out his personal phone again, pondered for a while, and then sent Cornelia a message: [Cornelia, if I'm not what you hoped for, would you leave me?]

Cornelia didn't see Jeremy's message until the next morning. The phrase "leave me" pierced her heart. It was often said that a happy childhood could heal a lifetime of wounds, but an unhappy one took a lifetime to heal.
