Upon seeing Marcus’ baffled expression, Millie held up the bowl of porridge in her hand. “I'm on my break. I’m heading to the hospital to deliver this porridge to my grandma.”

“Hop in. I'll give you a lift.” It was Marcus.

She should be thanking Marcus.
Stealing a glance at Marcus, she found his face still set in a frosty expression. There were moments she wanted to break the silence, but the words just wouldn’t come.
“We're here.” Marcus’ voice broke the silence when the car pulled up to a stop but Millie was still seated in the car. “Alright.” Millie reached for the door handle but stopped short and spun around.
“Thanks.”
Marcus furrowed his brows. “For what?”
The memory of Derek’s warming against telling Marcus suddenly sprang to her mind.
“Thanks for the ride to the hospital.”

“Are you coming to see my grandma with me?” Millie’s voice betrayed her surprise.
Marcus was the picture of a model. Grandma would be thrilled to meet someone as handsas him!
Her greatest desire was for Millie to marry well. Millie had been married for quite stnow, yet she’d never introduced her husband to her grandma.
Even though her Grandma never voiced it, Millie knew she wanted to meet him.
Millie's question caught Marcus off guard. His attention had been fixed on a spot in the parking lot, and now he seemed at a loss for words.
“You should go upstairs,” he said.
“Alright!”
