Chapter 219
Gemma affirmed with a nod. “Yes.” Although this revelation left Millie puzzled, she was already running late and hurried off to the Skyline Restaurant.
Behind her, Celeste watched Millie with growing impatience. She was becoming increasingly aware of her son’s concern for Millie.
Yet Celeste could not bring herself to warm up to Millie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHad it not been for Rhea instigating the incident last night, she wouldn't have been so lenient this time. At the Skyline Restaurant parking lot, Marcus exited his vehicle. Coincidentally,

Their gazes locked.
Leon approached with a smile, but beneath it hid an element of ruthless determination.

Somewhat flustered, Millie retorted, “I’m sorry, sir; you must have mistakenfor someone else.”
“Really? Shall | ask my cousin to verify?”
