    Marcus ignored Han’s remark. He leaned back in his chair, having finished his meal.


    “When do you n to leave?”


    “Why the rush to see me off?” Han responded with a smirk.


    Marcus retorted sharply, “I''ll make myself clear. Harm no innocents, or you''ll find yourself at odds with me.”


    There was a deep seriousness in Marcus’ eyes. He was far from joking.


    Han stayed silent fora moment before nodding and saying, “Rest assured. I’m only here for leisure. I''ve been away from city


    life for too long, and | missed it. I''ll leave in a few days.”


    He paused before continuing, “I’m not as ruthless as you presume. I’ve not forgotten the favor you once did for me.”


    Soon after, Han departed.


    Marcus, on returning upstairs, found the bedroom bathed in darkness. Upon turning on the light, he found Millie sound asleep on


    the sofa, her breaths soft and rhythmic.


    He could tell from her peaceful slumber that she was worn out.


    With a quiet stride, Marcus approached Millie who was draped in a soft, light pink nightdress. The room’s temperature seemed to


    imbue a gentle warmth, painting her cheeks with a delicate pink hue.


    Her sleeping form, covered in a sky-blue nket with a slender calf peeking out, was alluring enough to make him feel a heat


    rising within him.


    He saw that Millie was precariously positioned on the edge of the sofa. One wrong move, and she would tumble off.


    With a frown, Marcus switched off the light, gently lifted Millie, and carried her to the much cozier bed.


    As the next morning''s light streamed in, Millie found herself in a haze, shifting slightly to embrace something beside her. Her


    arms wrapped around it, drawing it closer and closer until she bumped into a solid object.


    Ahandsome face was mere inches from hers, the warm breath caressing her face.


    She realized that she had been clutching his neck!


    She remembered dreaming of finding a wall to embrace.


    Why was she in bed now?


    Just as Millie was reeling in surprise and confusion, Marcus opened his eyes. Their gazes met, and Millie swallowed hard. He


    had awoken at the most awkward moment.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    She was still clinging to him like a ko to a tree.


    Her mouth felt dry as she asked, “Why am | in bed?”
