Millie rested her hands on her knees as she joined him on the sofa.

She was giving off a gentle and calm vibe. Marcus’ breath caught as he realized she was still looking athim. He quickly racked his brain for a topic to talk about.

After a while, he asked, “Did you like the skin products?”

Millie hummed affirmatively. “Yes.”

She added, “You don’t have to give me such expensive gifts in the future.”

Marcus stated, “I just want to hear you say that you like it.”

He was aware of Millie’s high sense of self-worth. She was his, so he should give her everything sheneeded.

“Let me change the bandage on your wound,” Millie offered.

Marcus gently shook his head. “Derek changed it already. You should go to bed now.”

Millie stood up to go to her room, but then she stopped. The man would always pester her to changehis bandage whenever he had the chance, as if his life depended on it, but he rejected her offer to doso again and again.

He must be hiding something from her.

Marcus noticed the suspicion in her eyes.

He pulled out his phone and slid his finger on the screen to turn it on, avoiding looking at Millie.

Millie wanted to tell him that the two were a couple and that he should feel comfortable sharing anysecrets with her so that they could work through them together.

However, it was clear that he did not want to discuss it with her at all.

Marcus, sensing the tension in the room, questioned, “Do you not like the dress we bought in the mall?Why won’t you wear it?”

Millie looked absolutely breathtaking in that dress.

Millie would rather wear that dress in a more relaxed setting. Unfortunately, she had been spending hertime lately either at home or at the hospital.

“I’ll wear it in a few days,” Millie answered.

She was surprised that Marcus had picked up on that detail.

After scratching her knees with her fingertips, Millie walked into her bedroom.

She was already half asleep when she heard a phone ring. She immediately opened her eyes.
