What were the household staff doing? Why weren’t they answering the phone?

Rhea dialed the number once more, but nobody answered again. With a tinge of unease, she placedher phone down.

Inside Cloud Villa.

The weekend had dawned, and Marcus had no work this morning. As Millie roused from slumber andwas about to get up, he asked her if they could have sex.

However, her body ached all over, prompting her to remark, “Your self -restraint could use someimprovement.”

She felt a deep weariness settle within her.

Marcus held her close within his embrace.

“Blame it on your irresistible charm.”

As he drew nearer, Millie sensed a pressure against her back.

A soft sigh escaped her Lips.

“Why do you have so much energy?”

“It’s not really a choice. After all, you treated me to a feast fit for kings. Some of those dishes are evenrumored to have special benefits for men.”

Millie’s cheeks flushed, her shyness palpable.

Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle, the scent of her hair filling his senses.

“Remember last night? You insisted on whipping up that soup even while watching TV. Your sweetnessdeserves reciprocation, and I intend to excel in all aspects, especially in bed.”

As she thought back on this, Millie found herself feeling somewhat ridiculous. She then cleared herthroat.

“The doctor mentioned that it’s beneficial for your wound. He suggested I prepare it for you, so I did.”

As Millie spoke, her voice gradually trailed off.

Upon seeing Marcus’ wound not healing as expected, concern filled her.

Each time the doctor visited to address Marcus’ wound, she would inquire about anything she could doto assist.

The doctor advised her to prepare a nourishing soup for Marcus, incorporating Chinese medicinalingredients Like ginseng, yam, white lentil, and rhodiola. Her sole wish was for his speedy recovery.Thus, she had cooked the remaining pilose antler and jujube for him last night.

Upon his return from his business trip, she sensed his exhaustion and eagerly wanted to infuse himwith energy.

Recalling the events of the previous night, Marcus found it amusing.

Millie had abruptly turned off the television and dashed to the kitchen while he held her in his arms.
