Chapter 714

He focused on eating instead. He had gone without Millie’s home-cooked meals for a few days, so he

ate everything in front of him in record time.

Millie was planning on doing some sketching after dinner to avoid Marcus because she did not know

what to say to him, but he stopped her.

“Let’s take a stroll along the river, yeah?”

Marcus proposed it because the night air might help them communicate better and become closer.

Millie was hesitant for a while, and he did not pressure her to agree, not wanting to put her in an

uncomfortable position. He just waited patiently for her response.

“T’ll go and change my clothes,” Millie finally said, looking down at the clothes she was wearing.

The moment she opened her closet door, her gaze landed on the dress that Marcus had bought for her.

Since he had purchased it, she had not once put it on.

After putting it on, she emerged from the bedroom, and Marcus watched her with wide, admiring eyes.

Millie resembled a beautiful, innocent white blossom in her dress.

He was so moved by the fact that she finally wore the dress he had bought for her.

Millie lowered her head and headed for the door. Marcus immediately moved to catch up to her.

They had just left the neighbourhood and were making their way toward the river when Marcus

grabbed Millie’s wrist.

While Millie was changing her clothes, Marcus received a call from Celeste, informing him that Rhea

was at the villa to accompany her.

He always let Rhea off the hook, but she kept causing trouble for him. This time, he would not be so

forgiving.

“Let’s go to the villa. We’re going to deal with something.” Millie gave him a questioning look,

wondering what he was up to.

“You’ll know once we’re there. I won’t let you down.”

Soon, his car drove into the grand villa’s driveway. As soon as Marcus and Millie exited the car, one of

the servants quickly announced their arrival.

“Mr. Thomas is back!”

Celeste and Rhea, who were having dinner, were ecstatic upon learning that. Then, Marcus and Millie

walked into the dining room.

When the two women caught sight of the couple holding hands, their smiles faded.

“Are you feeling better now, Marcus?” After Celeste got over her initial shock, she immediately

remembered the more pressing issue.

Instead of responding, Marcus fixed Rhea with a glare.

Marcus fixed his gaze on Rhear with an intense scrutiny that almost stole her breath.
