“Millie.”


    Looking up, Millie saw Marcus sprinting toward her,pletely drenched, his once noble suit dripping.


    “What are you doing here? I don’t want to see you,” she dered, angling her body to avoid his gaze.


    The more she looked at him, the more her heart ached.


    Marcus said patiently, eyes fixed on Millie, “You’ve misunderstood.


    Ang’s Library


    She’s interested in Han, not me.”


    Though she was filled with disdain for Marcus at that moment, he felt a strange sense of joy. He was


    deeply moved by Millie’s words during her spat with Mavis.


    Millie remained unyielding, turning her back on him.


    “Do you think I’ll believe you? I’m no fool.”


    The thought of Marcus taking another girl for a ride and kissing her in the car tormented her. She


    believed he was merely using Han as a scapegoat.


    Frustration creasing his brow, Marcus ced his hands on her trembling shoulders, forcing her to face


    him.


    “You truly misunderstand. She genuinely likes Han. The rain’s too heavy; let’s go back first.”

    Not just because of what Mavis had told her, but Marcus’ recent unusual behavior had proven he was


    hiding something.


    Men were liars, always looking for the opportune moment to reveal the truth in a way that benefited


    them.


    Her father had lied to her mother back when he was having an affair with Gianna.


    He had secretly transferred all the assets before confessing to her mother, leaving her with nothing


    when they divorced.


    “You’re a liar. I won’t believe you. I hate you. Leave me alone!”


    Millie stated defiantly.


    Marcus was at a loss for words.


    He had been deeply touched by Millie’s earlier sentiments, but now he felt utterly confounded by her


    emotions.


    Millie wouldn’t even nce his way. If she remained soaked like this, she was sure toe down with


    a fever, and the thought of her being sick filled him with concern.


    “Just leave. You don’t need to return to Cloud Vi anymore. Just stay here. I won’t call you or ask you


    toe home early again,”
