“Good night. Freyja, ask Ethan to escort Millie home.”


    “Okay.”


    Millie departed, leaving Marcus to heave a sigh of relief.


    Marcus motioned for Derek to approach once more.


    “Mr. Thomas.”


    “Send Millie home yourself.”


    Derek looked at Marcus with a puzzled expression. Freyja had already asked Ethan to escort Millie


    home.


    “I’m concerned that someone might still try to harm her.”


    Marcus’ brow furrowed, his tone grave. The distance to Cloud Vi was considerable, and he needed


    to ensure Millie’s safety on her journey home.


    Derekprehended Marcus’ concerns and found them well-founded.


    “I’ll do it immediately.”


    Just as Millie settled into the car, Derek rushed over, first addressing what worried him most.


    “Madam, were you able to persuade Mrs. Thomas?”

    Millie simply shook her head.


    “We must respect her opinion. She’s likely the one suffering most, caught between her son and


    grandson. Let’s not add to her burden.”


    Hearing Millie’s exnation, Derek nodded, recognizing the truth in her words.


    He had focused on Mr. Thomas without considering Mrs. Thomas feelings.

    Derek moved to the driver’s seat and spoke to Ethan.


    “Ethan, you can return for some rest. I’ll drive Mrs. Thomas home.”


    Taken aback momentarily, Ethan exited the car, expressing his thanks.


    Derek climbed into the car and informed Millie, “Mr. Thomas instructed me to do this.”


    Millie merely nodded, saying nothing. Her gaze shifted to the window, where she hoped it wouldn’t rain


    later so Marcus could get home early.


    Derek drove with care, his eyes alert to their surroundings. Millie was quiet in the back seat as Derek


    periodically checked the time.


    “Mrs. Thomas, if you feel tired, feel free to nap. I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
