“Order whatever you want.”

Was he showing concern for her? Millie's cheeks warmed slightly. She glanced at the food on the table but did not open the menu. There was no way she could finish all of it.

Mylo’s phone buzzed. A picture message popped up, which he clicked. “I've just received news that Lois attempted suicide by slitting her wrist. She’s currently being treated in the hospital.” Millie paused, and the memory of Leon rushing out of the old house in the afternoon surfaced. Was this the reason?

Delmor looked at Marcus and Bruce with a puzzled expression. “She’s your cousin's fiancée, the renowned gentle and virtuous daughter of the Rayne family. Why would she resort to suicide by wrist-slitting? Girls are usually scared of pain.”

Millie maintained her composure. Most girls who attempted suicide by slitting their wrists did so because of emotional trauma. Given Lois’ favorable conditions, she was likely heartbroken because of love.

“Who knows? But | heard that he kept postponing their wedding. Perhaps Lois was hurt. Even a blind person could see that Lois deeply loved him, but he never reciprocated her feelings.” Bruce looked serious.

Asense of melancholy washed over Millie, leaving her wondering what Leon was thinking. Lois was a good girl.

Delmor set down his glass, reflecting for a moment. “Isn't it possible that Leon refuses to marry Lois because he already loves someone else?”

The engagement between the two families had been established for many years. Everyone in Preagend thought they were the perfect couple. The constant postponement of their wedding was unexpected. Delmor’s audacious hypothesis was instantly dismissed by Bruce.

“That’s impossible. Given his frigid demeanor, no woman can penetrate his heart. | suspect he’s deliberately seeking vengeance against our whole family. The elders in the family are eager for him to settle down, and he’s intentionally delaying.”

Bruce shook his head and stated, “I’ve never seen anyone as vindictive. He’ll never be able to move on from his past.”

Delmor disagreed with Bruce.

“You're mistaken. The crueler a person appears, the more passionate they truly are.”

Millie had lost her appetite. Quietly, she chewed on Delmor’s words—the crueler a person appears, the more passionate they truly are?—as she nervously bit her red lips.

Asudden feeling of being watched made her halt mid-thought and turn her gaze. Marcus was watching her with an icy stare that sent chills down her spine.

With a fork in his hand, Marcus carefully picked up a piece of codfish and angled his body to the side, effectively hiding his actions from the others with his broad figure. In a hushed tone, he said, “You appear quite intrigued by this situation. Are you planning to seize this chance to replace Lois?”

His masculine scent hit her, causing Millie to instinctively recoil. She was being misinterpreted again.
