Chapter: 401
Raising an intrigued eyebrow, Marcus playfully asked, “Are you feeling jealous?”
Resolutely, Millie turned away and stated, “No. I simply did this to protect myself.
If you insist on continuing with the teasing, I shall leave this party to avoid being
subjected to it.”
Though inwardly upset, Millie refused to admit her true emotions upon seeing
Nancy approaching Marcus.
“Why not confess your feelings?” Marcus probed gently, drawing closer to her ear
with unexpected intimacy. “I promise to exercise prudence. Should any woman
approach, I will drive her away. Moreover, should anyone dare to make an
inappropriate jest, I shall firmly discourage such behaviour, for I would not wish to
incite jealousy in my beloved wife,” he whispered unexpectedly, leaning closer to
Millie’s ear.
Millie was taken aback.
Though he asserted her jealousy, she refused to acknowledge it.
Noticing Nancy's resentful gaze, Millie swiftly changed her demeanor and said
with feigned cheerfulness, “You truly are a wonderful husband.”
“Let's focus on the occasion at hand. If you wish to indulge in romantic
conversations, you can do so in your room. No need to make us envious,” Mylo
interjected with a knowing smirk.
Timidly distancing herself from Marcus, Millie gave Mylo an impatient look before
turning around and departing.
“Well, it appears she doesn’t quite favor me,” Mylo remarked.
“Why not apologize, knowing this?” Marcus suggested.
“Damn it! How can you forget about your friend when love comes knocking?”
Mylo exclaimed, following Millie’s path. He confronted her, inquiring, “Millie, why
do you dislike me?”
Millie tumed around and firmly retorted, “I have no fondness for individuals with
questionable moral character. Have you forgotten how much you hurt me?”
Attempting to evoke sympathy, Mylo explained, “So you're still angry due to the
incident of Mist? I had no choice at the time. Had your husband discovered that I
encouraged you to drink, it would have been disastrous for me. He would have
undoubtedly challenged me to a fight in the boxing room, and I knew I wouldn't
stand a chance.”
Mylo wore a look of hurt as he sought Millie's understanding.
Unimpressed, Millie shrugged and stated, “You brought it upon yourself, didn’t
you?”
“You can be so cold.” Mylo sighed, his mouth twitching.
