Millie quickly clarified, “Please don’t misunderstand, we were simply having a conversation.”
Encountering Delmor at this particular moment felt like a stroke of bad luck.
Marcus raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly quipped, “No need to wait for darkness, you could simply close your eyes.”
Millie was left speechless and whispered to Marcus discreetly, “Stop”

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’ve committed a crime.”
“But it’s genuinely mortifying in this context. We could have readily clarified 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 explanations would suffice to change their perception? It’s wiser to let them envy us,” Marcus assured her with a comforting smile.
