Chapter: 164
“Do we truly require such an abundance of bamboo baskets for orange picking?”
Millie queried, her expression one of curiosity.
“Yes, the oranges you gather shall be purchased by Mr. Thomas himself and
dispatched to the welfare home in Preagend. With more baskets, the children will
receive a greater abundance of fruit. In this era, there are few individuals akin to
Mr. Thomas who have constructed such a vast enterprise and still harbor concern
for charitable endeavors,” the old man explained.
Quietly astounded, Millie sighed, never expecting Marcus to possess such a
conscience.
“I shall take one and proceed to pick oranges now.”
Meanwhile, on the balcony above.
“why is Millie taking a bamboo basket?” Bruce leaned against the railing, his
curiosity on display.
Marcus also leaned over and looked down. He beheld Millie donning an aged
yellow straw hat and carrying a bamboo basket as she made her way toward the
orchard. In due time, Millie arrived at the orchard, gently placing the bamboo
basket on the ground, gazing upward, and commencing her task of plucking
oranges.
“So she has come to pick oranges. Observe her movements—swift and efficient,
plucking one after another. But the sun grows hotter, and I hope she does not
suffer from its scorching rays,” Bruce remarked.
Marcus lightly bit his lower lip, his gaze fixed on the swiftly moving figure within
the grove of oranges.
“Her actions hold no bearing on me.” With those words, he tumed away from the
balcony. Out of sight, out of mind.
“Don't be so absolute. Millie is incredibly beautiful. Everyone is taking a nap in
the afternoon. Beware that she may attract the attention of unsavory characters
later.”
Bruce trailed behind Marcus, attempting to rouse his interest.
Marcus halted abruptly, his expression turning cold as he faced Bruce.
Bruce still believed there was a chance.
To his surprise, Marcus emitted a contemptuous snort. “She’s merely a country
bumpkin. Who could possibly be fond of her? Did she retrieve that hat from the
garbage?”
This woman lacked taste in everything.

A faint smile played on his lips.
“Of course I can’t possibly fall asleep, so I decided to come here and gather
oranges.
