“That's regrettable. My dietary restrictions make it difficult for me to dine out at
present. We'll have to postpone our meal.”
“Fasting?” Marcus replied, his voice tinged with irony.
“You bear the weight of the Thomas family’s affairs, so I won't detain you with
trivialities. Farewell for now,” Jonah returned, his own smile devoid of warmth.
“Before you go, Uncle Jonah, allow me to offer some advice. There are those you
can challenge, and others who, merely by thinking of them, may invite disaster.”
Jonah'’s laughter, feigned and hollow, met Marcus’ ears as both agreed to
conclude their conversation.
As Marcus hung up, his face clouded over, his eyes reflecting a storm's fury, filled
with a predatory hunger.

Shortly thereafter, Marcus materialized, tenderly lifting her and guiding her
downstairs to the car, with dinner on the evening's agenda.
In the car, Millie gently stroked her soft hair, stretching her Limbs and yawning.
“Going out for dinner? I could whip up something at home,” she said, her
thoughts clarifying as she wondered why Marcus opted for dining out. Was he
simply too famished to await a home-cooked meal?
“We've run out of provisions at home, Marcus replied, casting a glance at her
ruddy face.
He noticed her chin had sharpened slightly since her return from the countryside,
and his gaze turned concerned. He hoped Millie would indulge in the meal,
regaining some lost weight.
Arriving at a restaurant, they were escorted to their table by the host.
A medley of succulent dishes arrived in quick succession. Upon gazing at the
sumptuous spread, Millie's appetite awakened.
“Dig in,” Marcus urged, selecting a piece of meat for her plate.
Millie eagerly engaged.
“Try this lobster,” Marcus recommended, delicately preparing it for her.
Her eyebrows arching, Millie savored a bite.
“This meat’s incredibly tender,” she declared.
Marcus, contentment in his eyes, wiped his hands and sipped red wine, watching
Millie enjoy her meal.
