“You…” Celeste’s anger bubbled up, leaving her heart pounding.
“I visited the temple days ago to inquire about your and Millie’s fortunes. A master toldthat you two are opposites.”
“What temple?”
Marcus’ voice cut sharply through Celeste’s words, making it clear he didn’t want to hear more.
Encouraged by Marcus’ inquiry, thinking he was interested, Celeste quickly said, “I wouldn’t go to just any ordinary temple. I went to the largest and most renowned temple in Preagend.”

“Nonsense!” Celeste burst out, her face a mask of fury.
At that moment, Millie arrived, nervously carrying the tea.

“Mom, please have stea.”
“I’m Leaving.”
Celeste’s voice was cold as she grabbed her bag and stormed out, not in the mood for tea or conversation.
Stunned, Millie stood rooted to the spot. In the span of just a few minutes, Celeste had becso enraged that she left.
Marcus, unruffled, drew Millie down to sit beside him.
“Don’t worry. Givethe tea. I’m thirsty.”
He walked over, put his arms around her waist, and sipped the tea.
Millie looked at him, confusion in her eyes.

“This temple claims we’re against each other. I don’t like that.”
It was then that Millie understood, this was related to what Celeste had sought in their fortunes.
She took a deep breath and looked at Marcus.
“Maybe it’s true?”
After all, Celeste had never fully accepted her, and the feeling that their marriage lacked their parents’ blessings had begun to weigh on her.
She’d never even met Marcus’ father. He likely disapproved of her, hence his absence.
“I don’t care if it’s true. I’m not afraid. Next year, I’ll donate even more to expand the temple. Out of respect for my sincerity, they’ll bless us,” Marcus said, his eyebrows lifting in a confident, almost arrogant gesture.
