“Coincidentally, my girlfriend also attended Preagend University. She mentioned it to me,” Mylo disclosed.
Millie’s gaze alighted upon the girl who was absorbed in her meal, fingers dancing across her phone’s screen.
“Thank you! I*1l drink it on her behalf.” Marcus took the wine glass that Mylo handed to Millie.

Observing Millie, Marcus held the wine glass delicately and reassured, “No need to fret, we’re a team.”
“You’re correct. As a married couple, you should be connected both emotionally and… physically.”
Mylo pauses for a moment to emphasize the word physically.
Feeling uncomfortable, Millie thought Mylo was truly irritating. Millie cast a complex glance at Marcus.
Marcus downed his drink and guided Millie away from the smooth-talking Mylo.
Placing the cup casually on the table, Marcus fixed his gaze on Millie with a playful glint in his eyes.
“What were you thinking just now? You seemed lost in thought.”

She hadn’t expected him to catch her momentary lapse.

“Why aren’t you eating?”
“I don’t want this,” Millie admitted, her embarrassment causing her to shake her head. Opting for a squid instead, she tried to move past her awkward thoughts.
