“Keep tracking her. We’ll act when the opportunity arises.”


    After Emerie left, Nancy’s anger red once more. Grabbing her pen, she resolved to design the starry


    sky series.


    The next day in the countryside, Millie’s grandmother asked her to pack up and return to Preagend.


    “Millie, I’m fine. You should head back to work.”


    Millie’s hesitation was clear. Despite her pending design work, she wanted to remain with her


    grandmother.

    Bruce caught Millie’s uncertainty and approached, saying, “I haven’t eaten enough here, and grandma


    wants to send me away?”


    The grandmother looked embarrassed. It was Bruce’s first time in the countryside, and she was already


    pushing him away. How thoughtless of her.


    “I was inconsiderate. The weather is fine today, Millie. Why don’t you take Bruce for a walk nearby?”


    Millie and Bruce strolled to a sprawling grasnd. After Millie settled on thewn, Bruce sat beside her,


    resting his chin on his hand as he studied her.

    “You’re pondering the jewelry design for a wedding. Are you worried you’ll run out of time when you get


    back?”


    Millie’s eyes widened as she turned to him. How did he know about the wedding jewelry? Had he been


    spying on her?


    Bruce’s wicked smile suggested he knew her thoughts.


    “I know even more. Care to hear some secrets about Marcus?”


    He clearly admitted to watching her.


    Millie’s brow furrowed.


    “I don’t want to know. I’m not interested in your affairs.”


    Though curiosity tugged at her, she knew that understanding the cousins’ differences wouldn’t help


    mend their rtionship.


    Bruce was taken aback by Millie’sck of interest. He snapped his fingers, a bit surprised. Wasn’t it


    said that women were inherently curious?


    “Smart,” hemented.


    Millie picked up a branch, drawing a circle, a flower, and a sun.


    She soon moved the branch away, revealing the word “Marcus.”


    Bruce’s eyes narrowed as he teased, “You’re lovesick. It’s only been a day, but you miss your husband


    that much?”


    Observing the word she had written, Millie was equally shocked.


    Hadn’t she been drawing flowers and grass? How had she managed to write the name “Marcus”?
