Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband -
Chapter 1201
Chapter 1201
Patricia stopped fretting and decided she would do whatever it took to protect her home. She wouldn’t allow anyone to meddle in Marcus and Cornelia’s marriage or destroy their relationship.
Men, they were all the same, prone to occasional screw–ups. But as long as they were set straight in time, life could carry on just fine
“Marc, we’re fresh out of beddings I washed some extra quilts today, and they’re still out drying We might not be able to host Miss Tahlia for the night I’ll tell Austin to drive her home after dinner Patricia said, knowing full well there were spare beddings at home. But she knew Marcus well and trusted he would go along with her.
“Marc, you’ve never been a fan of having too many people around Having an extra person might disturb your sleep! Patricia said, smiling at Tahlia, “Miss Tahlia, you wouldn’t want to stay, would you?”
Tahlia looked at Marcus, “President Hartley, perhaps I should leave.”
Marcus looked at Patricia coldly. “If you can’t even manage this, I can find someone else to do it”
Patricia didn’t expect Marcus to defend Tahlia so fiercely, “No, Marc.”
Marcus wanted Tahlia to stay a message Cornelia clearly got. She didn’t want Patricia to cause further trouble, “Patricia must be tired today. I’ll handle it.”
“Appreciate it.” Marcus said.
This was Marcus‘ reply to Cornelia. However, when Cornelia looked at him, his eyes had already shifted to Tahlia.
Cornelia wanted to say something but didn’t know what to address. Dinner was finished in an odd atmosphere.
After dinner, Patricia cleaned up while Cornelia took Tahlia upstairs. Following Marcus‘ instructions, she prepared a new room for Tahlia with fresh beddings and even made the bed for her.
*Tahlia, are you satisfied? If there’s anything you’re not happy with, let me know, and I’ll try to fix it.” Cornelia said
Tahlia asked, “Are you mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad at you?” Cornelia asked.
“Maybe because I insisted on staying overnight and made Patricia uncomfortable, Tahlia said.
Cornelia smiled, “What kind of person do you think I am? Patricia is our elder, and treats me like her own daughter, sometimes excessively protective. You don’t need to be mad at her.”
“I wouldn’t dare. Tahlia suddenly hugged Cornelia, “Nelly”
She kept calling Cornelia’s name but didn’t say anything else. Cornelia patted her back, “What’s wrong?”
Tahlia said sincerely. “You have to believe me. I truly love you. I don’t want to come between you and President Hartley, but he insisted that i stay. After all, he’s my boss now I can’t disobey him.”
Cornelia smiled, “Okay, I believe you. It’s late, and you have to work with him in the morning, get some rest.”
Tahlia pleaded, “Nelly, can you sleep with me tonight?”
Usually, Cornelia would agree to this request, but not tonight. Because she hadn’t seen Marcus for a few days and she had a lot to talk to him about.
“Tahlia, I have a lot to talk to Marc about tonight. I’ll sleep with you another night. Cornelia said.
Tahlia held on to Cornelia’s arm tightly. “Nelly”
Cornelia gently stroked her head. “What’s wrong? Work pressure getting to you?”
Tahlia shook her head, “No, there’s no pressure at work. President Hartley and Ben have been very kind to me, always ready to help whenever I don’t understand something”
“Marcus teaching you to work? Cornelia didn’t know Marcus had time to mentor assistants.
She remembered when she first started working for Marcus, he had very high standards for her work. She followed him around anxiously every day, terrified she would make a mistake and get fired
