Shera slowly unbuckled her seat belt and smiled at Marcus.


    “I want to continue with my charity work. Can you help me out?”


    Marcus paused for a moment. Refusing this request was out of the question, considering all that Shera


    had endured due to the car ident. He couldn’t deny her this.


    “Of course, I’ll give you a number. It belongs to my assistant, Trenton. If you need anything, just get in


    touch with him.”


    He opened his notebook, jotted down a number, tore out the page, and handed it to Shera.


    Shera epted it with a hint of awkwardness. She understood that Marcus was doing this to ensure


    she wouldn’t disturb him and to avoid any misunderstanding with Millie.


    “Alright, I’ll take my leave.”


    She then entered the estate. The servant held the umbre for her, her mood heavy.


    Listening to the exchange between the man she loved and his wife, hearing their mutual concern, was


    painful for her heart.


    Love truly had the power to transform a person. Before encountering Marcus, she had been


    independent, strong, and indifferent to other men.


    But when he stepped in to help her in the square, she couldn’t help but feel that he was the one for her.


    Even so, that car ident had altered her life, separating her from him for five years.


    She firmly believed that, without that ident, she and Marcus could have been together.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Shera was aware that Marcus had never been particrly close to any woman before meeting her.


    Even his secretary was a man.

    Though he had merely appreciated her, thanks to Celeste’s involvement, she might have be his


    wife.


    Shera had delved deep into the details of how Marcus and Millie came together.


    Initially, he wasn’t in love with Millie. It was more of apromise. Celeste had selected a wife for him.


    If not for her being kept abroad, Celeste might have chosen her.


    She knew she could be a kind person. But for the person she held feelings for, she could turn into


    something akin to a devil.


    While in the car, Marcus’ thoughts coalesced into a decision, prompting him to call Millie.


    She was just about to brush her teeth.


    “Why did you call?” she asked, sounding quite delighted.


    “I miss you. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for someone to bring grandma to Preagend. What do you think?”


    His voice flowed through the microphone, taking on an even more alluring quality, causing her to


    chuckle.


    Did he truly miss her this much? To the extent that he was suggesting bringing her grandmother to


    Preagend.
