“Why are you running?” Marcus asked in his cold voice.
Millie swallowed, still flustered.

She didn’t want the couple to be alerted of their presence.
However, Marcus didn’t move an inch but just looked at her with knitted eyebrows.
“Why are you so nervous? What happened to them?”
Millie knew just how difficult it had been for Lois to get Leon to feel for her this way.
If they disturbed them and ruined this special moment, Millie felt like Lois’ efforts would be in vain.
Marcus remained headstrong and refused to listen to her. He pulled her back and said, “We're not leaving this place until you explain what you’re talking about.”
“We can talk someplace else, can we not?” Millie was exasperated, but she still kept her voice down. Marcus’ stubbornness was frustrating her. Why was he choosing to act this way just today?
“Fine! As long as we don’t go that way,” Millie finally said, giving up.
Millie wrinkled her otherwise flawless forehead and sent him a scornful look.

“Let's go inside.”
Back in the house, Millie discovered that Celeste and Madison were still in the living room. She abruptly turned around, veering away from the commotion and into an empty room. Marcus followed her inside, grabbed a thick book from the shelf, and began reading.
Millie found a spot to sit by the window to enjoy the evening breeze. She placed her chin on her hand while massaging her neck with the other. She pursed her lips thoughtfully.
“What are you thinking about?” Marcus asked, looking up from his book.
