Chapter 27


    Chapter: 27


    With her heart pounding in her chest, she tumed around to go to the kitchen.


    Thankfully, Marcus stopped her before she could spill the beans earlier.


    “If she asks why, tell her that it will taint the reputation of the Thomas family if she dies due to starvation in our house,” Marcus


    added with a sneer.


    He then turned and walked into the study to attend to some business matters.


    Millie was sleeping soundly when a gentle nudge on her shoulder roused her. She opened her eyes drowsily to see a servant


    carrying a tray of food next to the bed.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Gemma, what''s up?” Millie mumbled.


    “Madam, please wake up and have some snacks,” Gemma said.


    Millie sat up, her stomach still heavy. After the hearty dinner she had, she was still too full to eat anything.


    Gemma gave the door a quick peek before whispering, “Madam, you have to eat something. All of us will be doomed if Sir


    Marcus finds out that you already had dinner.”


    Millie examined the food on the tray with disinterest.


    Then, she remembered she was not supposed to eat unless she apologized. She had not done that, so why was she being fed


    now?


    “Did Marcus ask you to prepare this?” Millie asked in disbelief.


    “Yes,” Gemma confirmed.


    Still puzzled, Millie inquired, “What''s with his sudden kindness?”


    “sir Marcus said that if you died of hunger in this house, it would taint the reputation of the Thomas family,” Gemma answered.


    An unimpressed look crossed Millie’s face.


    She should have known better than to think that the man was being nice to her.


    An hourter, Gemma retumed to pick up the dishes.


    Millie was so stuffed that it was annoying her. She paced the room, then reached for her phone to look up a magnolia flower


    pattern.


    She nned to make a magnolia-shaped brooch for udia.


    Marcus had intentionally spent a considerable amount of time in the study, so he was surprised that Millie was still awake when


    he returned to the bedroom.


    She was hunched over the desk while she worked on the brooch’s design. She looked quite feminine in her light pink pajamas


    and the way her long, silky hair cascaded down her back.
