Furthermore, for a proud man like Marcus, the suffering must be even more acute.


    Seeing Millie’s determination, Marcus reached up, taking her hand in an attempt tofort her.


    “Listen to me. Go back.”


    He respected udia and would usually heed her demands on essential matters.


    But he didn’t want Millie to endure this hardship with him. If she caught a cold, his heart would break.


    Before arriving, Millie had nned to speak on Marcus’ behalf to udia, but upon entering the old


    house and seeing the silver-haired woman sitting in the spacious hall, she abandoned the idea. Millie


    knew how painful it was for udia to see Marcus kneel.


    Two servants returned quickly after taking out the trash. The low and gentle voice of Marcus still


    echoed in their ears, leaving them shocked.


    Upon entering the room, they immediately took refuge in a corner.


    “Did you hear that? Mr. Thomas is kneeling andforting Mrs. Thomas in a low voice. I know it’s a


    sad thing, but I can’t help feeling that they are so sweet together,” one of them whispered.


    “Yes, I heard it. Before Mrs. Thomas arrived, Mr. Thomas seemed so cold as he knelt there. When Mrs.


    Thomas came, he instantly became gentle,” the other replied.

    They chatted about Marcus and Millie with genuine interest.


    “What are you two discussing? Why are you so excited?” Freyja asked, overhearing the two people


    muttering happily from a distance as she took the medicine.


    “Nothing, Freyja. We didn’t say anything,” they quickly responded.


    “You two cunning girls, I’ve heard you. Tell me, what were you talking about?”


    The two exchanged a nce, and one of them stood on tiptoe to whisper in Freyja’s ear what they had


    just witnessed.

    Hearing this, Freyja broke into Laughter. She waved the two girls off and hurriedly took the medicine to


    the hall.


    “Mrs. Thomas, you should take your medicine,” Freyja said, approaching udia.


    udia epted the medicine, her eyes narrowing with curiosity.


    “What are youughing at? Is there something amusing?”


    Noticing the smile on Freyja’s face, udia felt a pang of confusion.


    Tonight was far from an ordinary night, and she was too anxious to sleep. How could Freyja find a


    reason to smile?


    Freyja sought to ease udia’s mind.


    “There’s something that might make you happy.”


    “What is it? Tell me.”
