Marcus smiled into the phone.
“Of course I’ve seen it before. However, no matter how soft and sweet it is, it can’t be better than you.”

Marcus stretched his long legs and leaned against the sofa.
“I chere for lunch, but I’ll be going back to Cloud Villa.”
The only the felt relaxed, was when he called Millie.
Since Marcus didn’t want to stay in Villa Imperiale, Millie didn’t insist.
“How is mom doing?” she asked instead.
Celeste didn’t like her, but Millie still cared about her. After all, she was still Marcus’ mother.
“She’s fine. You said you were tired. Are you upset that I’m not there?”
He wished he could fly to Millie in this instant and just stay with her, but alas, he couldn’t.
“No, I’m okay. I’m with grandma.”
Roland was about to leave. He shouted from outside, “I’m leaving now.

“Why is a man there?”
Millie heard the displeased tone in his voice.
“It’s Roland. He cto givetwo sweet melons. Remember him? He protectedfrom being stabbed with the knife last time.”
Marcus remembered the man, but he still wasn’t happy. He only protected Millie because he liked her. Marcus was sure of this. He was a man.
Jealous, he said, “From now on, don’t talk to him anymore. He has a crush on you.”
Millie pursed her lips. Marcus was being ridiculous.
“That won’t be good. He has helpeda lot,” she answered. And he also treated her like a friend.
