Chapter 386


    Chapter: 386


    Marcus’ menacing gaze silenced Millie. She was wise enough not to fall into the same trap. She turned away, her lowered eyes


    hiding her frustration.


    Her restless hands found something in her pocket—a crumpled ball. Drawing it out, she realized it was a wrinkled piece of paper.


    Both Millie''s and Marcus’ eyes were drawn to the paper, their curiosity kindling.


    “What''s that?” he inquired.


    With a brief nce at Marcus, Millie’s eyes dropped as she painstakingly unfolded the note.


    An IOU note was inscribed on it.


    “On the date xx-xx-xxxx, | find myself indebted to Marcus Thomas in the amount of one and a half million. The debtor’s name is


    Millie Brown.”


    Upon thoroughly perusing the contents, Marcus was left utterly speechless. His brows swiftly knitted together, carving deep


    furrows on his forehead. The amiable countenance he wore just moments ago gave way to a somber and overcast look,


    resembling the brewing tempest.


    As she unfolded the note, Millie experienced a momentary surprise. The anger she harbored towards Marcus had been so.


    consuming that she hadpletely forgotten she was the one who had penned the note.


    Seizing the chance, Millie extended the note to Marcus. “It’s for you. | intended to give it to you at noon, but you had already left,”


    she exined.


    Like a lightning bolt had struck him, Marcus stood there momentarily dazed and unable to respond. Seizing the opportunity


    presented by his temporary bewilderment, Millie broke free from his grip and swiftly departed.


    Clenching his teeth, Marcus found it hard to fathom that the woman had actually handed him an IOU.


    Unaware of Marcus’ expression, Millie strolled towards the coffee table and poured herself a ss of water. Taking a sip, she


    tried topose herself and alleviate the shock she felt. His repeated acts of kissing her without any regard for her feelings were


    not only hical but also deeply disrespectful.


    Marcus pivoted; his eyes locked on Millie as she concluded her drink and proceeded towards the inner room, her figure exuding


    grace and elegance. His countenance remained overcast with a sense of despondency.


    Asurge of anger welled up inside him.


    Nevertheless, he made the decision to retain the IOU note for the time being. When the moment arrived for Millie to fulfill her


    debt, he vowed to settle the score with her.


    His eyes briefly nced over the bag resting on the sofa, and for a moment, it slipped his mind. However, he quickly


    remembered and walked over to retrieve the sky-blue bag. With the bag in hand, he made his way towards the inner room.


    Millie had just taken out her nightwear, preparing to take a shower, when Marcus approached her, holding the bag in his hand.


    “Open it and take a look. It’s for you,” Marcus said, extending the bag towards Millie.


    “For me?” Millie hesitated for a moment before epting the bag from Marcus.


    The question raced through Millie''s mind as she wondered what could be inside the bag Marcus had handed her.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
