Chapter 316


    Suddenly, Marcus’ phone, resting on the bed, sprang to life. Both Marcus and Millie turned their attention to the device.


    Marcus released Millie’s arm after a prolonged ring and went to answer the call.


    The conversation remained unknown, but with each passing moment, Marcus’ brows furrowed increasingly.


    Seeing Marcus in fresh attire and seemingly recovered from the drug''s influence,


    Millie felt a wave of relief wash over her. She sank into the nearest chair.


    But the mysterious phone call began to trouble her. Had something transpired? Was it rted to her? Marcus kept throwing


    nces her way while on the phone. Look, he was doing it again.


    Marcus cast a nce at Millie, his eyes narrowing, as he asked the person on the other end, “Did she truly state that?”


    Millie’s heart pounded, and her mind raced. Why was he looking at her with such an expression?Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    After a brief exchange, the call concluded, and Marcus casually tossed his phone onto the bed. He then strutted towards Millie.


    Sensing the building tension, Millie decided to seize the initiative and asked,


    “What''s going on? Who was on the call?”


    Marcus leaned over her, his sturdy hands resting on either side of Millie’s chair, effectively caging her in. His eyebrow quirked.


    “Rylie mentioned that you''d voiced ns for a divorce.”


    Millie’s lips quivered at the revtion. The previous call was from Rylie. That bbermouth—how had she informed Marcus so


    promptly?


    Marcus’ slightly constricted eyes and the imposing re suggested his displeasure at Rylie’s revtion.


    Composing herself, Millie took a deep breath.


    “IL implied a possibility, not a certainty. She conveniently omitted that detail.”


    As she rified her stance with a look of deep seriousness on her face, Marcus felt as though he’d taken a body blow. She had


    indeed uttered those words.


    So she had been considering divorce all this time. It made sense now—her resistance earlier, her fear that he might proceed.


    Marcus straightened up, his hand by his side unconsciously clenching into a fist. He had an overwhelming urge to release his


    frustration through a vigorous boxing match.


    He was caught off guard when Rylie mentioned this, reminding him to be more attentive to Millie and dissuade her from reckless


    ideas.


    This woman was contemting divorcing him!
