“What prompts this sentiment? I cannot claim a fortune surpassing Marcus’.
Since youth, he’s consistently excelled in every aspect.”
“Capability may favor Marcus, but his choice of spouse troubles the waters.
While others opt for well-mannered and cultivated young ladies, he weds a
provocateur who stokes rather than diffuses. Since her arrival, my blood pressure
has seen a noticeable surge.”
Unbeknownst to Celeste, her demeaning commentary on Millie reached the
latter's ears.
Millie deposited the washed fruits upon her return, taking a measured breath.
“Bruce, Mother, please indulge in these fruits.”
Millie harbored an inclination to retreat upstairs, yet she understood that
succumbing would only cast her as an instigator bereft of social acumen.
Celeste remained indifferent to Millie’s presence, engrossed in conversation with
Bruce.
“Have you encountered Leon's betrothed? Miss Rayne embodies not only beauty
but also intellect and grace. She appears to be an exemplary partner and
supporter.
Then there's our family... I'm envious.”
Bruce's regret at visit heightened. Had he known he'd endure Celeste’s
ceaseless complaints, he would have abstained.
“In truth, Millie exhibits promise. Perhaps a touch ungainly, yet she won't impede
Marcus. With guidance, she can evolve and contribute positively.”
Between Millie and Lois, Bruce leaned towards the former. Lois basked in the
protective shade of her parents, while Millie navigated life with no such refuge.
Millie's brow furrowed at the portrayal of her clumsiness.
“No one can instruct her. And should anyone dare, she might resort to violence. I
wouldn't be shocked if she extended her hand to slap her own supposed mother
someday,” Celeste quipped, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Bruce appeared puzzled, inquiring, “Millie, are you resorting to violence?”
“You missed the event. This morning, she shattered a vase, stubbornly pinning
the blame on the newly recruited maid. Bria, who boasts the most seniority in this
household, stepped forth to defend the maid. Millie, however, struck Bria across
the face. She even threatened to procure poison for a potential act of harm. Such
venom.”
“Is this factual?” Bruce’s incredulity was palpable.
