It bugged her a little when Kaya came to give him that scarf. Marcus really helped her, yet she left and


    came to the university to be Louis’ assistant. He had all reasons to be angry.


    Millie lowered her eyes, her cheeks turning red as she saw the emotion on Marcus’ face.


    “I’m touched you waited for me, but don’t do it again at night,” he said gently.


    Very few people were still outside, and she could easily be attacked by bad guys at this time.

    Marcus held Millie’s hand and led her to the hotel room. As soon as he closed the door behind them,


    he held her to him and kissed her passionately.


    Millie could feel the fire building up in her body.


    When they started going further, Millie reluctantly pressed her hand against his chest and pushed him a


    little.


    “Ican’t… Not now.”


    Milliey on the sofa, unable to look at Marcus.


    The atmosphere was heavy with the intimacy between them.


    Marcus thought that she refused because she was still on her period. Then again, if he wasn’t


    mistaken, it should have been over a few days ago.

    He held Millie’s head and pressed his forehead lightly against hers.


    “If you’re not ready to do it, I respect that. I told you I’d wait until you were ready, and I’ll stand by my


    word.”


    His maic and pleasant voice echoed in Millie’s ear.


    Millie grasped the hemline of her white dress nervously. He must have thought that she was using her


    period as an excuse.


    But she really was on her period still. It usually took long.


    Marcus stepped away from her after that. Millie equally stood up and pulled out a tampon from her bag


    as if to prove it to him before running into the bathroom with it.


    She took a shower and wore the new tampon.


    Millie sat in front of the mirror and tapped her flushed cheeks. She didn’t know what to do. She didn’t


    know if she could give herself to him.


    She turned him down every time and she could see just how hard he struggled with it. She was worried


    about what would happen if she kept refusing.


    Millie’s fear also blocked her. She hade to realize that her husband had a lot of secrets. What was


    the rtionship between this mysterious Han and him? Did they belong to some sort of


    organization? And what did Marcus use to do before?


    Her intuition told her that there was arge abyss behind Marcus. A dangerous and terrifying one. She


    wasn’t sure it was something she could support.
