Millie frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Marcus raised his hand and rubbed Millie’s head.


    “Nothing. I was going to say you should feed me a papaya. I drank too much tea in the tea house and


    need to get the bitter taste of it out of my mouth.”


    Millie looked around and saw that the servants were all far away from them.


    “Lazybones. There are a lot of desserts in the teahouse, no?”


    As she grumbled, she still leaned forward, took a piece a papaya and brought it to Marcus’ Lips.


    Marcus chewed on it with a satisfied smile.


    Millie put down the fork and turned off the television that had been showing ads.


    “I’m going upstairs,” she said and stood up to leave.


    Marcus stood up to follow her, but the sound of his phone ringing stopped him. It was a call from his


    mother, Celeste, asking him toe home for a while.


    They were still on the call when he heard Shera’s voice in the background.

    “Mrs. Thomas, did he agree toe?”


    After hanging up, Marcus pressed his lips into an angry thin Line.

    He knew why Celeste was calling him over.


    Marcus looked up toward the staircase and saw Millie looking at him.


    “Come with me to Vi Imperiale,” he said.


    At this time?


    Millie was stunned, but she still joined him downstairs and got into the car with him.


    When they arrived at Vi Imperiale, a long-haired woman was standing at the entrance. Her initially


    hopeful gaze quickly froze when she saw Millie.


    Millie abruptly stopped in her tracks when she saw her too.


    “Has he arrived?” Celeste’s voice came from inside the house.


    After a brief pause, Shera answered, “Yes, he’s here.”


    Then, she turned and walked back into the house.


    Millie’s gaze remained fixed for a moment, and her eyebrows creased together on their own. She was


    certain that she just saw Shera.
