“Actually, I freed my weekend to stay with you.”
Millie gasped. She hadn’t even realized that it was weekend already. She shook her head quickly and cback to what he just said. What did he mean by he was going to spend the weekend with her?
She couldn’t let that happen. “I don’t need your company. Go and do whatever you have to do.”
When they drove here, Millie didn’t feel a tiny bit free or comfortable with him.

Marcus frowned, tilting his head slightly. She refused him, claiming she didn’t need him to keep her company.
He had specially cancelled an important schedule today just to be with her. Now, here she was, trampling on his efforts. Millie thought that he would leave her in front of the hospital and leave. But when she saw him following her in, she couldn’t stay silent. This went against her plan to keep a distance from him.
What exactly was happening? Why did he seem different? So tolerant towards her.
Marcus noticed a shopping mall just next to them. Then, he looked at Millie’s simple clothes and said, “Let’s go shopping.”
Millie looked down at her dress. She did need to buy a new set of clothes. Her other clothes were still in the villa.
They entered the mall together, and Millie walked into a clothing store. A white Chiffon dress caught her eye almost instantly.
“Try it if you like it,” Marcus said after seeing how much she was looking at it.
Millie looked at the price tag first and felt discouraged. She hesitated a while before giving in and going to change regardless of the price. The dress was gorgeous.
Her thoughts on the dress were confirmed when Millie walked out of the fitting room and was met with stunned gasps and surprised expressions.

“Oh my God, it’s so beautiful.”
“You have to buy it. I doubt anyone can wear it as perfectly as you do.”
Millie straightened her back and stared at her reflection in the mirror. The ladies were right. It was beautiful. The dress had a low collar and a tight waist. It fit her to a T and made her look more graceful.
Unfortunately, it was too expensive for her. Before, she might have considered buying it, but not now.
Now, she wasn’t as loaded as she used to be. It was best that she save money for her grandma’s medicine.
Besides, there was still a huge bill waiting for her to take care of in the hospital.
Millie sighed, feeling dejected at having to give up the dress. Seated on the sofa, Marcus couldn’t take his eyes off her.
