Chapter 264

“Wedding photos are not a formality but a necessity. They make the marriage whole. Don’t fret, girl. It’s likely Marcus isn’t keen

on a photoshoot, and you're playing along. Every girl dreams of her wedding photos. Not only will we have a photoshoot, but it

will be grand and luxurious. | will personally supervise it.”

Millie hung her head in regret. Claudia’s unwavering stance left no room for refusal.

She couldn't even hint at reluctance.

Left with no other option, Millie returned to the brochures, examining each exquisite image. Yet her mind was far from the thought

of a photoshoot.

Claudia sighed in relief as she watched Millie earnestly flip through the brochure.

“stay here and keep browsing. I'll just go inside to take my medicine.”

Freyja came to help Claudia into her room. Once they were out of sight, Millie dropped the brochure, sighed, and raised a hand

to massage her temples.

She could not believe Marcus had left her to deal with something so stressful. He was such a jerk!

Millie glanced at the brochures on the table before her gaze landed on the doorway.

There, Leon was kneeling on the ground. The scorching sun was shining directly on him, but it did not melt the coldness in his

eyes.

She got to her feet and walked to the door. She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the doorframe.

She stared at Leon with a questioning glint in her eyes.

“| thought you loved Miss Rayne. Why haven’t you married her yet?”

“Love? What does a little girl like you know about love?”

“Excuse me?” Millie scowled. Leon had just implied that she was too young to understand what love was, and that did not sit well

with her.

Every person was born with the innate capacity to know love. She had yet to find the one she would spend the rest of her life

with, but she was confident in her knowledge of love.

“Oh, | know what love is. Maybe it’s you who don’t understand love. You have a heart of stone, after all.”

Every time she begged him to operate on her grandmother, he always responded with hostility. He had the ability to save a life,

but he was completely apathetic about it. So, it would not surprise Millie if he was incapable of loving someone.

Leon remained expressionless. Millie bit her lower lip. She was even more convinced now that Leon did not know what love was.

She thought he was done talking, but she was wrong.

“You're really good at sucking up to people. Grandma even cares about your photoshoot. Not everyone can fool her with

flattering words, you know?” Leon shot Millie a condescending look.

“You're just as cunning as Marcus.”
