“You won’t eat here?”
Lois nodded with a smile. “They’re not for me, but for Leon. He’s too busy to think of having dinner.”
Unlike Millie’s warm and welcoming attitude, Marcus’ gaze was unfriendly and even hostile.
Lois frowned as she felt his gaze on her. She had barely had any contact with Marcus. Why was he staring at her like that?

“[‘ll take my leave now. You guys enjoy your dinner.”

When she turned back, she found Marcus looking at her with a small smile.
“What are you thinking about?”
“We’ll soon go back home.”
Millie tilted her head slightly, confused by his answer. She knew that he had to return hafter he was done giving this class.
“Don’t forget what you promised me,” Marcus added, a grin playing on his lips.
Millie got even more confused. “What did I promise you?”
Marcus frowned at the look on Millie’s face. It seemed that she really forgot.
