Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 483

Chapter 483 

The guy instantly went from feeling down in the dumps to full of confidence, saying “You see, I’m not the only useless man in this world I’m not the only one who can only afford to take my wife to places like this for dinner. Some men, they look so handsome and their wives so beautiful, but they’re here eating at places like this tool 

Cornelia and Marcus paid them no mind Cornelia was busy savoring the yummy fried grasshoppers, so she had no time for chit chat. As for Marcus, he couldn’t be bothered to even give these people a second look 

The man took a few more glances at Cornelia and then said to his wife, “Next time you want to compare yourself with others, take a good look at yourself first. Look at your fat waist and thick legs. Do you see those slim waist? Do you think you belong in a fancy restaurant?” 

The woman gave Cornelia a side eye, “All you men like pretty women. What a shame, you can only dream, but you can’t have.” 

Cornelia suddenly looked up at the woman and smiled, ‘Are you saying that I’m pretty? Thank you for the compliment!” 

The woman was taken aback and muttered under her breath, “Shameless!” 

Marcus turned to the woman, his eyes sharp as a knife, “Are you insulting her?” 

“I wasn’t The woman flinched in fear 

Some people were just like that, always badmouthing others behind their backs. But wouldn’t dare to say a word when confronted. 

Especially when facing someone like Marcus. His aura was incredibly powerful; a mere glance from him was enough to instill fear in the woman 

She quickly nudged her husband. “Let’s go ” 

The man wanted to say something But after catching Marcus‘ look, he was too frightened to utter another word and hurriedly left. 

Cornelia watched their retreating figures and couldn’t help but laugh, President Hartley, you’re so cool! You scared them off with just one look.” 

Marcus looked at her, puzzled why she was not upset but laughing instead when insulted, “Next time when someone insults you, you should fight back. You don’t need to put 

up with it” 

Cornelia laughed, “She wasn’t really insulting me, she was actually complimenting me for being pretty. And besides, she’s so hefty. I definitely can’t beat her. Plus, brawling in such a public place is so unseemly. I need to maintain my image. Can’t bring shame to the Hartley Group” 

Marcus’s voice deepened, “Cornelia!” 

Cornelia immediately turned serious, “What’s wrong?” 

Marcus said, “Tye told you before, you have the whole Hartley Group and me backing you. You don’t need to be afraid of anyone bullying you.” 

Comelia softly said, “I’m not scared, it’s just that I can’t change the prejudices many people in society have towards young girls. It’s not just today that this woman called me shameless, and it’s not just Melissa who insinuated that i have an inappropriate relationship with you. Even in my hometown, people said I have a sugar daddy” 

At this point, Cornelia gave a bitter smile, “Should I argue with all of them, fight with all of them? That’s clearly not practical. All I can do is to not care about those who doubt me and try my best to live my life well” 

Marcus felt a pang in his heart, wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say in the end, all he could say was, “I’m sorry!” 

If he hadn’t left her alone after their marriage and had revealed her identity sooner, she wouldn’t have had to endure so much verbal abuse. 

Cornelia didn’t understand why Marcus was apologizing to her, “This has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing?” 

Marcus didn’t say anything else. But was more determined than ever to take good care of her, and to never let her be hurt again. 

Cornelia pushed her plate towards Marcus, “President Hartley these fried grasshoppers are really delicious, want to give them a try?”
