Taken aback for a moment, Millie then turned towards the backseat. She was
genuinely famished. After wrapping up her work earlier, she had only managed to
sit down and consume a few thin slices of potato chips, which felt like she had
hardly ingested anything at all.
Millie reached back to bring the box closer. Upon opening it, she found a heap of
documents. As for the promised food, it was just a pack of compact biscuits and
a bottle of milk.
This was an item Marcus kept in his car as a just-in-case measure. Millie picked
up the milk and biscuits and examined them, finding them to be quite different
from what she had envisioned as food.
Observing that Millie didn't proceed to open the packet for a considerable while,
Marcus’ brow furrowed. He pulled the car over to the roadside and leaned
towards Millie, which took her by surprise.
“What... What is it that you are currently engaged in?” The biscuits and milk Millie
had been holding fell back into the box.
“Do you always need to have potato chips?” Marcus questioned. “You seem to
have a special fondness for them. Aren't you past that stage yet?”
Didn't just the little ones relish those? He had only had them a few times in his
childhood, and now he had forgotten their taste.
“What do you mean by “haven't grown up’?” Millie couldn't decipher his intent.
“I only see those little ones who love walking around with a bag of potato chips,
licking their greasy fingers afterward. You resemble them quite a bit,” Marcus
teased, a smile playing on his lips.
In the early morning, while others conversed, Millie sat silently, crunching her
snacks. Marcus couldn't help but find this scene unusually amusing. For the
prestigious and highly disciplined Thomas family, which always maintained a
strict diet, such scenes were even scarcer.
Marcus’ words painted a vivid picture in Millie’s mind, and she couldn't help but
visualize children relishing the taste of potato chips and subsequently licking their
fingers with gusto. Immediately, Millie's face warmed with embarrassment.
But having a fondness for snacks was just a natural predilection for children.
What was so humorous about that?
Adults could also enjoy snacks, and that was perfectly normal, wasn't it? How did
it become a matter of her not growing up?
Millie felt compelled to stand up for herself and all the adult snack-lovers out
there.
“Who says snacks can't be enjoyed once you've grown up? There are plenty of
people who love eating snacks; it's just your personal choice if you don’t. Don't
try to make it seem like I am immature,” she countered.
Her rebuttal was tinged with urgency. Marcus tumed to look at her and saw
Millie's face flushed with a delicate rosy tint. An aura of girlish allure radiated from
her.
It caused a tightening sensation in Marcus’ throat, leading to an involuntary
swallow.
