Claudia’s voice sounded, “Review the land documents and arrange for Lois to be sent back at a later time.” She struck the floorheavily with her cane.

Millie remained frozen in place, her fists clenched as she whispered urgently to Marcus, “Grandma is approaching, she'll soonreturn to her room. What should we do?”

Despite her apprehension, Marcus continued to kiss her fervently, leaving her head spinning.

Their passionate kiss left her feeling lightheaded.

Suddenly, the door pushed against its frame, causing the table to shift slightly.

“Why is my room locked?” Claudia’s voice carried a sense of bewilderment.

The door was pushed a few more times, intensifying Millie’s anxiety to a nearly unbearable level. Tense to the point of not daringto breathe, she mustered her strength to swiftly push Marcus away.

Feeling suffocated, Millie finally managed to push Marcus away, their lips parting.

Millie wished to scold him, but her strength failed her, rendering her unable to utter a word. Her flushed face, a result of shynessand breathlessness, appeared endearing to him.

As their fingers intertwined, he spoke softly.

“Can you promise me something?”

Millie replied through the unspoken language of their lips, “What is it?”

“If you ever replace yourself in danger, don’t lose hope and wait for me to come rescue you,” Marcus implored.

‘A twinge of pain shot through Millie’s hand, catching her by surprise.
