Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 834

Cornelia snapped back to reality, giving this unfamiliar man a quick once-over before her gaze drifted to her phone in his hands. "Can I have my phone back?"

He gave the phone in his hand a little shake. "I could give it back, but you gotta play a game with me first. You win, you get your phone back. You lose, you give me your number, and we call it even."

Cornelia knew this was a bad idea. "Give me back my phone, or I'm gonna get mad."

He let out an cool chuckle, "You look so soft. Didn't peg you for the fiery type. I'm just after your digit. No need to get all huffy."

Cornelia said coldly, "Hand over the phone."

He leaned in closer to Cornelia. "What perfume are you wearing? It smells so good, makes me want to take a bite outta you."

"Bite me? Got the guts?" Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but Cornelia slapped him twice, hard. "You wanna take a bite out of me? You know who my husband is?"

"You're married?" He rubbed his slapped cheek, even though her hand was long gone. He seemed to still feel the touch of her fingers. "You look like you're barely in your twenties, married so young?"

"Young? Not really. I've been married for two years." Cornelia gave him a smile, equal parts adorable and tantalizing. "You know who my husband is?"

The man asked, "Who?"

Cornelia asked, "Ever heard of the Hartley Group?"
