A few heavy seconds later, Marcus regained his composure, reached out, and took Millie’s hand with atroubled look still in his eyes.

“Sorry, I was lost in thought about something at the company just now. I wasn’t paying attention,”Marcus said, shaking off his distraction.

“Well, is it really possible for two people to look exactly the same in this world?”

Millie asked.

She didn’t believe she could be the one Leon was searching for since she had no recollection of him atall.

“Yes, I’ve come across articles about that. Among billions of people, there are some who aren’t relatedbut look alike. It’s bound to happen,” Marcus responded thoughtfully.

Millie nodded in agreement, remembering articles she had read herself. She recalled a story about twofamilies discovering their children’s uncanny resemblance during atrip.

“By the way, did you have something to tell me earlier?” she asked.

“No, let’s get some sleep. I’m a bit worn out.” Marcus deflected, his voice tinged with fatigue.

His original intention was to inform Millie about Lois’ scheming and warn her to be cautious.

Lois’ actions were becoming increasingly dangerous. If her sole intent was to have Fiona impersonatethe girl Leon pined for, she wouldn’t have allowed the plot to escalate to the point where Fiona might killMillie.

Marcus was both shocked and troubled by Millie’s words. An uneasy intuition gnawed at him,suggesting that the individual Leon had been searching for was Millie herself.

However, it seemed that Millie was already aware of Fiona’s transformation into her younger self’slikeness. Yet, she didn’t seem to realize that she was the one Leon sought. What had transpired to leadto this? Had Millie lost her memory of something crucial?

Later, while Millie slept, Marcus quietly got up and dialed Derek’s number outside the room.

“Instruct Giovanni to keep quiet about Lois and Fiona’s plastic surgery tomorrow.

Make sure he only reveals his sexual relationship with Fiona,” he instructed.

Marcus believed that the best outcome would be for the deceptive Fiona to deeply disappoint Leon.This way, Leon could recall Lois’ virtues and finally move on from the girl he was infatuated with.

After ending the call, Marcus returned to the bedroom and gently kissed Millie’s forehead, his mind stillracing with thoughts and uncertainties.

Upon awakening the next day, Fiona found Leon’s gaze fixed on her. A shiver rippled through her ashis intent scrutiny felt like an unerring probe, penetrating the depths of her concealed truths.

“Isn’t today a busy day for you?”

Leon shifted his position, disengaging his gaze from her.

“l intend to keep you company today.” A protest rose within Fiona. She hastened to divert him.
