Her fury bubbled over. She had spent the whole night hand-picking those berries, only for Marcus to callously discard them.What was his problem? Right now, she wished he’d vanish.

“| want an explanation for my blueberries!”

Millie ran to catch up with Marcus. However, he stopped suddenly and wheeled around.

He’d heard the hurried footsteps, which Millie’s casual footwear couldn't have produced.

He stared coldly at a nearby banana tree, the leaves shivering and a dark shadow stretching on the ground.

Millie swallowed her words, mistakenly thinking his cold look was a warning to her.

Annoyed, she turned on her heel and raced back to the hotel.

Marcus, with a frown etched on his face, followed her back.

Upon stepping out of the elevator, a sullen Millie found Patrick waiting for her. In his hands, he held a small fish tank with a fewgoldfish darting around.

At that moment, Marcus too stepped out of the elevator. Spotting Patrick there, his eyes, usually calm, flashed with fury.As Marcus came into view, Patrick felt a ripple of unease. Nonetheless, he pushed himself to approach Millie.

Rhea’s words echoed in his mind, warning him that Millie’s stay here would be temporary. He had to seize the moment, make herfond of him.

Having spent years holed up in a lab, he had never encountered a girl as enchanting as her. He had been mulling over this allafternoon, determined not to let this opportunity slip away.

“patrick, what brings you here?” Millie’s eyes blinked in surprise, considering the late hour.

Patrick felt his heart rate escalate as he met Millie's shining eyes. Grinning, he strolled over and responded, “I was waiting foryou. Noticed you lingering in front of that goldfish store earlier, 1 thought you might like these.”

He extended the small fish tank towards Millie, his cheeks flushing crimson.

“T got them for you.”

Millie found herself at a loss for words.

Marcus felt a wave of confusion wash over him. Hadn't Millie gone out with Patrick?

Had he misunderstood the situation?

Suddenly, the corridor lights flickered off, and the fish in the small tank started to glow, darting around in sheer bliss. Thespectacle was nothing short of mesmerizing.
