“No, no. You have your work to attend to. I’m perfectly fine.”
If she didn’t meet Giovanni today, he would undoubtedly show up at the hospital and disrupt her well-
devised scheme.
A shade of darkness flickered across Leon’s eyes. Early morning brought a call from Marcus,
summoning him for a meeting. Marcus had promised to unveil Fiona’s identity.
“| wish you a restful day. I’ll be heading to thepany.”
Rising from his seat, Leon retrieved his coat and strode toward the exit. A parting nce found Fiona,
their gazes locking momentarily. Startled, Fiona’s countenance transformed into a smile.
“Untilter.”
Leon offered a nod before exiting.

“T have an appointment,” Marcus responded, offering a cup of tea to Millie. “Give it a taste.”
With who? Why did he bring her along to meet this person? Since Marcus chose not to divulge, Millie
chose not to pry.
Millie sipped the tea, an amalgamation of bitterness and sweetness.
Shortly thereafter, Leon arrived. A swift, mutual exchange of nces passed between Marcus and
Leon. The sight of Millie’s presence seemed to mildly surprise Leon.
A simr astonishment settled within Millie, who sought rification from Marcus —his intention to meet
Leon seemed apparent.
With a gentle touch, Marcus ced Millie’s hand on hisp, a gestureden with intent.
Last night’s revtions ignited Marcus’ vignce toward Leon.

Marcus now that she was married.
Puzzled by Marcus’ actions, Millie squirmed, unease tugging at her. The unfamiliarity of such public
intimacy unsettled her.
“Cease, my dear.” Marcus tightened his hold, adopting a petnt tone. Then he turned his gaze to
Leon.
“Please, take a seat.”
What was Marcus thinking? Millie was left bewildered.
Observing Marcus’ actions, Leon took a seat, his expression etched with a cold smile.
