Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 911

There were a lot of words, and at first Cornelia just gave them a quick scan. But when she actually processed their content, she had to read them again, carefully.

After reading them, she looked like she'd seen a ghost. Marcus noticed her face go pale and moved closer to her right away. "Cornelia, what's up?"

Cornelia looked at him, scrutinizing his expression, then threw a curveball. "Are you really my husband Jeremy?"

Marcus was taken aback. "Why the sudden pop quiz?"

Cornelia thought for a moment and then handed him her phone. "I got this text. I don't know the number, but I'm betting it's got something to do with Brennen Hartley. He's been hammering on about how Jeremy and Marcus aren't the same guy."

Marcus took the phone, read the text properly, then looked up at her. "You gonna trust a stranger, or are you gonna trust me?"

Cornelia replied, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have shown you this. I'm just a bit freaked out, I need you to give me a straight answer."

Marcus took her hand and placed it over his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat, then said, "Cornelia, Jeremy is Marcus, and Marcus is Jeremy. These two names are both mine. So, you gotta trust me."

Of course, Cornelia trusted him, but new questions were starting to pop up in her head. "If the texter really is Brennen, how would he know that it was John who offed my granny?"

Before, John had claimed he was nobody's puppet, and he seemed so worked up it didn't feel like he was lying, so Marcus took him at his word and didn't dig any deeper. But now, things didn't seem so cut and dried.

John may not have been instructed by Brennen, but he could have been manipulated and influenced by others, believing rumors that led to the development of extreme and dreadful ideas.
