Strangely enough, Millie admired how these high-class women fought and exchanged words, hitting each other just where it hurt. Millie thought she had heard enough. She rushed forward with the tray. “Mom, Aunt Thomas, please have stea.”
Millie hurriedly placed it on the table and left before Madison’s glare drilled holes through her.

After setting the tray on the table, Millie’s eyes fell on the man standing in the garden outside. She looked attentively and saw that it was Leon. He took out a cigarette and lit it, before taking a deep drag.
Millie frowned at this. He looked rather unhappy. She thought he was fine after his display of affection for Lois in front of everyone.
Millie recalled the wonder drug he got for her grandmother. She wanted to thank him but hesitated a little before finally deciding to go.
However, as soon as she got to the garden and was about to approach Leon, she heard a woman’s voice not far away. “So, this is where you’re hiding.” That was Lois’ voice.
Hearing her voice, Leon quickly extinguished the cigarette he had just lit.
Lois smiled, moved by his gesture. He had never put out his cigarette so promptly before upon seeing her.
Lois got to him and fell into his arms, hugging him. She could feel how lonely and empty he felt and wanted to offer him some comfort.

With Marcus being at the top, he wasn’t feeling very confident too. If he hadn’t missed the opportunities that presented themselves, he would be the CEO of Thomas Group today, not Marcus.
“What’s wrong?”
She leaned her head against his chest gently. Leon’s first instinct was to push her away, but he held back and left his hand suspended in mid-air. After a brief pause, he let his hands fall.
Lois continued in a low voice, “You know, | thought | would never see you again. | thought | was going to die. Then, you took care oftoday in front of your family. It madevery happy.”
Lois had noticed a great change in Leon since she woke up. He visited her in the hospital every day, and although he didn’t say anything, his actions spoke for themselves.
“Promisethat you won't do something so impulsive again,” Leon said, patting her on the back. Millie witnessed all of this in stunned silence. Clearly, Leon was starting to fall for Lois. Her persistence had paid off after all. Suddenly, Lois lifted her head, stood on her tiptoes and leaned in to kiss Leon.
Millie’s eyes went wide. She quickly turned around and ran away in hurry.
