Chapter 551

However, Millie shook her head, indicating her satisfied fullness. “I already had breakfast at home, so

don’t mind me.”

Similarly, Lois lacked an appetite. After consuming a few bites, she ceased eating and let out a sigh.

She observed Millie’s sweet demeanor and couldn’t help but express her emotions.

“Tenvy you.”

Confused, Millie questioned, “Why?”

It was known that the Rayne family held significant wealth and prominence, and Lois had been deeply

cherished by her parents. Millie couldn’t help but envy her for having such a happy family.

Lois offered a graceful smile, though a touch of melancholy lingered, and said, “I envy the bond

between you and Marcus.”

The relationship between her and Marcus? Millie’s heart skipped a beat. Lois seemed to have

misunderstood. There couldn’t possibly be romantic feelings between her and Marcus. But for now, she

needed to console Lois.

“Don’t feel disheartened. You and Leon are doing well, and besides, your elegance and poise are

admirable. I even envy you.”

After spending some time together, Lois suddenly tumed to Millie and inquired, “Which hospital is your

grandmother in? Could you take me there to visit her?”

In reality, Lois admired Millie quite a bit. She had observed how Marcus, who had once been indifferent

to women, showed a different side when he was around Millie. It was evident that Marcus cared about

her. There must be genuine affection between them.

Even though Marcus occasionally displayed a stern attitude towards Millie, his eyes betrayed

tenderness. How had Millie managed to capture Marcus’ attention and change his perception of her?

Lois was eager to learn from her.

Polite, Millie shook her head and replied, “Thank you for your kind offer, but it’s not necessary.” on’t be

overly formal with me. After all, we’ll be family in the future,” Lois insisted.

Millie eventually took Lois to the hospital and guided her to her grandmother’s ward. “Grandma, I’ve

brought a friend to visit you.”

Upon hearing this, Millie’s grandmother raised her head from the photo album she had been perusing.

“Is this your new friend? I haven’t met her before.”

With a smile, Millie introduced, “This is Leon’s fiancée, Lois Rayne. She’s very nice.

Upon learning that you were hospitalized, she insisted on visiting you.”

Grandma’s wrinkled face lit up with surprise upon hearing this. Hastily closing the photo album in her

hands, she welcomed Lois warmly.

“Welcome, Miss Rayne. Please have a seat.”

The relationship between in-laws could often be complicated, but Grandma was genuinely pleased to

see Millie and Lois getting along so well.

As Millie went to fetch some fruit for refreshments, Lois settled onto a nearby chair, observing the old,

weathered book in Grandma’s hands.

“What are you reading?”

“Just some old photos. You know, as people age, they tend to reflect on the past.”
