Leon took one last drag, snuffed out the cigarette, and retreated back to Lois’
room.
As dawn broke the next day, Millie was already stirring, rising before the sun had
a chance to fully illuminate the day, all in a bid to complete her work. The sultry
climes were too severe to comfortably labor under, hence her choice to greet the
day with the chirping of the first birds. An emptiness echoed in her belly;
breakfast hadn't been served yet. Finding solace in the stillness of the hall, Millie
opened a pack of chips, savoring each bite to ward off her morning hunger.
She had toiled since dawn, and at present, she felt a gnawing hunger.
Rhea, having made it a daily ritual, arrived to chat with Celeste. The pair huddled
on the opposite sofa, their voices whispering a melody of friendly conversation.
With Millie’s tasks successfully accomplished, there was no room for Celeste to
criticize her anymore.
Marcus descended the staircase, his presence commanding the room.
Eschewing his usual formal attire, he donned a casual gray windbreaker. His
phone was clasped in his hand as he sauntered towards the living room, his lean
frame drawing the eye.
The sight of his charisma sent a jolt through Millie, who, catching a glimpse of
him, quickly averted her gaze and distracted herself with another crunchy chip.
Marcus’ appearance stirred a wave of excitement in Rhea.
“Marcus, you're awake,” she chirped.
A nod was Marcus’ response, yet his attention wasn't on Rhea. Instead, he
moved towards Millie, his gaze studying her features and his brows knitting
together.
“Didn't I instruct you to decline the wedding photo shooting?” he questioned, his
voice resonating with surprise.
Just earlier, he had received a call from the family house. Freyja had relayed the
news of the wedding photo shooting date and requested that he make room in
his schedule. The location and photographer had been arranged.
He had assumed Millie had sorted it out, given her silence the previous night.
His sudden question left the room in stunned silence.
Millie coughed as a chip went down the wrong way. Oh, she had almost let that
slip from her mind!
Sporting a sheepish grin, Millie confessed, “I tried my best, but Grandma was
adamant about it.”

Following her remarks, the absence
of any emotion on Marcus’ face
caught her attention. It appeared he
held her accountable for mishandling
the situation. Millie sensed her own
injustice too. Just yesterday, she had
made a resolute effort to decline the
matter when faced with her
grandmother, yet her astute
grandmother left her no room for
refusal. The content is on

“You shouldn't gaze at me in such a
manner. Regardless, I am incapable
of managing it. You possess
remarkable abilities, enabling you to
effectively manage it on your own,”
Millie said sourly. The content is on

Celeste, taken aback, then chimed in, “Marcus, when did you decide on wedding
photos? Is this another one of your grandma's ideas?”

“Marcus, you're already married. There's no use in taking wedding photos now.”
Rhea expressed her feelings with a tinge of jealousy in her voice.
