After landing a series of punches, Marcus grabbed the man by the collar and
demanded icily, “Who sent you here?”
“Its— Bjorn,” the man blurted out in fear, hoping to lessen his punishment.
Marcus inwardly scoffed at Bjorn’s foolishness. It appeared that Bjorn was
determined to keep his son away.
He had planned to set his son free since he had taught Bjorn a lesson, but it
seemed it would no longer be necessary.
With a disdainful look, Marcus released his grip, and the man slumped to the
ground.
Marcus then turned his gaze to Millie, his eyes softening.
Millie was still in shock. Had Marcus just single-handedly taken down four burly
men armed with weapons? His fierce assault replayed in her mind.
Outside the car, Marcus retrieved a white handkerchief from his pocket and
wiped the blood off his hand.
Inside, Millie stared at him, wide-eyed.
Marcus discarded the handkerchief and knocked on the car window, gesturing for
Millie to open the door. With a hurried motion, she opened the door, and Marcus,
leaning on it with his tall frame, looked at her.
“Were you scared?”
““No— Maybe a little,” she admitted, her defiant eyes twinkling with a hint of
vulnerability.
She wasn’t one to display her fragility in front of others. However, the preceding
events would have rattled anyone.
Well, except Marcus, who could remain calm throughout?
Nonetheless, she had to acknowledge that his formidable strength provided her
with a strong sense of security.
Marcus stepped on the accelerator, reaching over with his large hand to gently
ruffle Millie's hair. He confidently raised his eyebrows and assured, “Don’t worry.
You're my woman. I won't let anyone hurt you.”
Millie's pallid face instantly tumed a flushed red. She found his statement absurd.
What was he talking about? Who was his woman? The way he casually tousled
her hair felt like he was petting a puppy.
Marcus chuckled inwardly. Despite her usual toughness, she was still a woman,
clearly afraid when faced with emergencies.
