His desperation was palpable, so he probably wouldn't deceive her. Immediately,
Millie felt a wave of excitement wash over her, dissolving her pretense of
arrogance.
“Are you being serious?”
Upon seeing Millie’s reaction, joy seeping from her as if she was about to leap
into the air, Leon’s thought process staggered. Perhaps, he mused, he truly was
a harsh individual.
“Whether you believe me or not is your choice to make,” he countered.
Millie pressed her lips together. Despite the urgency of his request, Leon’s words
oozed with arrogance. It was irritating, but his offer was too enticing to let her
pride come in the way.
“Fine, but remember your promise. I'll go see Grandma now. I assure you, I will
do everything in my power to persuade her to let you leave.”
Although Millie was unsure of her ability to sway Claudia, a voice within her
insisted she had to succeed.
Within seconds, she was gone. In the tastefully designed living room, Claudia
had finished her medicine and emerged.
“Were you bored so you went outside for some fresh air?” Upon seeing Millie
enter from outside, Claudia smiled without a hint of reproach.
“Yes, I noticed the garden is quite expansive, so I decided to take a stroll,” Millie
responded, feeling a twinge of guilt.
Claudia nodded in response. “Have you picked out the styles for your photos?”
“Yes, I've selected a few. Grandma, could you take a look?” Millie approached,
grabbing a few photo albums from the table to show Claudia.
“That's great. You're my first granddaughter-in-law. I can't wait to see you in a
wedding dress,” Claudia remarked, her lips breaking into a smile.
Hearing this, Millie felt a flush of embarrassment but knew she had to maintain
focus.
“Grandma, the sun outside is growing intense. I checked, and the temperature
has crossed 40 degrees. Leon has been kneeling outside for quite some time
now; he might suffer from heatstroke. Shouldn't we let him stop? What do you
think?”
Millie's words were chosen with utmost caution.
