He dared to venture out and flirt with other women.

Emerging from the bathroom, sleep was the last thing on Millie’s mind. She resumed her seat at the desk, focusing on herdesigns.

Not much time elapsed before a voice from the bed called out, “Come here, help me take off my clothes.”Slightly furrowing her delicate brows, Millie pretended not to hear.

Marcus’ tone grew louder.

“Millie, can’t you hear me?”

“Are your hands broken?” Millie retorted without sparing a glance.

A brief silence hung in the air. Millie assumed he had drifted off to sleep, so she grasped her pen again. Yet, in the next moment,a bellow erupted from behind.

“Aren't you coming over? Do you want me to come to you and do it myself?”

Jaw clenched, Millie stood up, approached, and ascended the bed. A peculiar scent met her nose, and she set to unbuttoning hisclothes.

Her motive was simple: to prevent his scent from tainting the room. After all, she would have to sleep in this very room later.To some degree, Marcus complied, making it relatively easy for her to remove his shirt.

As she went about undressing him, a surge of irritation welled within Millie. As her fingers grazed his taut abdominal muscles,she impulsively pinched them.

Marcus winced in pain and sat up, his expression a mix of discomfort and annoyance.

“Are you trying to kill me?” he snapped, his glare piercing Millie, who suddenly found his gaze deeply unsettling. An icy hushenveloped the room.

Millie mumbled, trying to explain, “No, my nails are just a bit too long. | didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Marcus lowered his gaze, noting the red mark on his abdomen.Accusatorily, he pointed out, “You did it on purpose!”Momentary guilt flashed through Millie, but she raised her gaze, her eyes unwavering.

“What? You hang out with other women and then expect me to undress you when you return? | accidentally hurt you, and you'reupset about that?”

As if the wind had been knocked out of him, Marcus seemed to deflate, collapsing back onto the bed. He would never lay a handon a woman, especially not his own wife.

Yet she had definitely crossed a line with that action. She rubbed the tender spot on his abdomen, causing him to wince in pain.
