Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 109

Chapter 109 She had no idea that Marcus eyes were always on her, and when her thin blanket slipped off, he gently covered her up again. About two hours later, the group arrived in the Capital and went straight to Sunset Bay Resort Sunset Bay Resort is a high end multifunctional area in the Capital that combines business, leisure, and vacation The Hartley Group team rented a total of five villas, with Cornelia and Ben staying in the same villa as Marcus The villa had three floors, with Marcus living on the top floor and Cornelia and Ben each having a room on the second floor. Just as Cornelia put her luggage in her room, she received a call from Marcus, “Cornelia, put your luggage away and come with me to meet someone.”

President Hartley, who are we meeting? I’ll see if I need to prepare any materials.” All the attendees of the conference were top people in the industry, and the company’s leaders had scheduled meetings with each other. Marcus didn’t have any meetings scheduled for today. Marcus said, “No need to prepare, just going for lunch.” “Alright Cornelia tidied up a bit and went to find Marcus, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Marcus waiting for her outside He was actually waiting for her, a small assistant, which made Cornelia panic, “President Hartley, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting!” Marcus called her name softly, “Cornelia.” She said “President Hartley, what can I do for you?” He continued, “Today, I’m going to meet a very close friend of mine, who has been a mentor to me in life. He’s very important to me. Recently, his health has worsened, and he probably doesn’t have much time left. He told me that his greatest wish is for me to bring my wife to see him and show him that I’m

happily married. As you know, my wife and I had some misunderstandings, and she’s still mad at me. Sol was hoping you could pretend to be my wife and meet my friend to fulfill his wish.” “President Hartley, this Before Cornelia could finish her refusal, Marcus interrupted her, “Of course, if you don’t want to, you can refuse. Anyway, he hasn’t seen my wife before. You can find another woman to pretend to be my wife” Cornelia understood Marcus’ meaning either she pretended to be his wife, or she found a woman for him. Either way, she couldn’t stay out of it Instead of finding another woman cluelessly, Cornelia thought it would be more time-saving to do it herself, “President Hartley, I’ll go. Do we need to prepare any gifts?” “No need. Just seeing him will make him happy.” Marcus led Cornelia downstairs and got into a luxury sedan that had been waiting outside the villa On the way, there was a driver sent by his close friend, and the two of them didn’t have much to talk about besides work. They barely spoke on the way. More than an hour later, they arrived at an old villa area in the Capital. As they entered the yard, Marcus naturally reached out to hold Cornelia’s hand, which startled her. She tried to shake him off but couldn’t, “President Hartley, this isn’t appropriate, is it?” Marcus held her hand tightly. “Tm sorry, but I need your help. We can’t let Old Mr. Abner find out.” Cornelia asked in confusion, “Old Mr. Abner?” Marcus patiently explained, “Yes, my good friend is 92 years old, so I call him Old Mr. Abner. He is a very smart old man, and he will notice if we have any flaws Since he said so, and she had already agreed to pretend to be his wife, she had to play the role well. Cornelia stopped resisting and let him lead her inside holding her hand. His palm was thick and warm, completely enveloping her hand and making her feel less cold in the chilly winter. “Marc, I’ve been waiting for you to come. A white-haired old man walked up to them with a smile, ‘No need to say, this must be your wife, I always used to wonder what kind of girl could stand by your side without being overshadowed. Now I finally met her”NôvelDrama.Org content.
