Patrick nodded and replied, “Don’t doubt it. With advanced technology, anything is possible. It’s feasible to extract excellent genes from large oranges and carefully cultivate them. They could grow as big as a grapefruit or even as large as a pumpkin.”
Millie was taken aback. How could an orange grow to the size of a pumpkin? If that happened, her whole family wouldn’t be able to finish a single orange.
Confidently, Patrick shared a smile, revealing a set of perfectly aligned teeth.

Millie was inspired by Patrick’s confidence. Yes, she shouldn't forget that the boy before her was a talented individual from a research academy.
Millie also found Patrick intriguing.
“alright, I'll get a tub to gather them,” Millie agreed, smiling.
With his prominent eyebrows and large eyes, Patrick shyly retumed the smile.
Millie smiled as well. She hadn't expected scientific researchers to be so interesting. In her mind, those involved in scientific research were always serious and rigorous.
“Millie, do you want to use the car to gather the oranges? The tub won't be able to fit such a large orange,” a voice suddenly said from behind.
Millie tumed around and saw Marcus standing on the hillside, his gaze cold and emperor-like. Despite the hot day, his eyes seemed to emanate layers of icy chill.
Millie frowned. She had been chatting with Patrick. Why did Marcus arrive here to mock them?
Marcus sensed that something was amiss. For a moment, the two of them conversed happily, oblivious to the world around them, like naive fools encountering something new.

“No, they won’t fit in the car. | need a plane, or a tank, or a spaceship to pick them up.”
What the hell? Was that sarcasm in her tone that Marcus heard? He narrowed his eyes. The woman really needed to be taught a lesson.
Millie’s mood soured even more as she continued to look at Marcus, especially when she remembered how Bruce misunderstood them upon seeing the man grab her chin on the balcony.
“You're crazy.” Marcus seethed as images of Millie and Patrick conversing so happily flashed in his mind.
Millie’s eyes widened in shock. In her indignation, she nearly crushed the orange in her hand as she was gripping it too hard. What did he just call her?
“What did you just call me?”
