“Do you find Miss Miller beautiful?” Millie blinked, her curiosity piqued.


    Marcus didn’t miss a beat in his response.


    “Compared to you, she’s leagues behind.”


    Millie was briefly taken aback, blushing as she responded, “You’re quite the charmer. I find her to be


    exceptionally beautiful and undeniably stunning.”


    Millie couldn’t help but entertain a seed of doubt regarding Bruce’s preferences. How could he not be


    smitten with someone as wonderful as Judie?

    With Mylo’s persistent pursuit, if he were to eventually win over Judie’s heart, Millie couldn’t help but


    wonder if Bruce woulde to regret it.


    However, Millie couldn’t stifle herughter in response to Marcus’sment .


    With a yful glint in his eyes, he leaned in close to Millie’s ear, his proximity nearly akin to a kiss on


    her cheek.


    “Leave aside questions of her beauty, I know for a fact that you are the most beautiful.”


    A warm breath gently grazed her, causing Millie’s face to instantly flush with red.


    Delmor approached to retrieve some drinks from the box and cleared his throat, reminding them,


    “Ahem, it’s not even dark yet. Let’s be a bit more cautious.”

    Millie quickly rified, “Please don’t misunderstand, we were simply having a conversation.”


    Encountering Delmor at this particr moment felt like a stroke of bad luck.


    Marcus raised an eyebrow and nonchntly quipped, “No need to wait for darkness, you could simply


    close your eyes.”


    Millie was left speechless and whispered to Marcus discreetly, “Stop”


    “You’ve changed your priorities. Weren’t you entirely disinterested in such personal matters before


    Millie came into the picture?” Delmor yfully jested.


    Marcus, undisturbed by Delmor’s remarks, casually waved his hand in a dismissive manner, advising,


    “Just grab your drink and retreat as far as you like, so you don’t inadvertently dampen our spirits.”


    Gritting his teeth, Delmor muttered, “You’ve truly allowed desire to supersede friendship!”


    After Delmor departed with the beverages in tow, Millie couldn’t quite shake the embarrassment that


    had taken root.


    Marcus, his presence ever steady, held her hand and offered it a reassuring squeeze.


    “There’s no need for embarrassment, it’s not as if we’vemitted a crime.”


    “But it’s genuinely mortifying in this context. We could have readily rified the situation, but your


    response only served to exacerbate it.” Millie expressed her frustration.


    “Silly girl, both Delmor and Mylo are exceedingly perceptive. Do you truly believe that a few


    exnations would suffice to change their perception? It’s wiser to let them envy us,” Marcus assured


    her with aforting smile.
