Chapter: 362

The moment was broken, and she sought sanctuary, burying her face in Marcus’ chest. The sky opened up, and the snow began to fall once more, filling the world with its silence. Derek, a statue at the hotel’s entrance, almost reached with an umbrella in his hand but wisely chose to withdraw.

With steady hands, Marcus carried Millie through the snowy twilight toward the glowing beacon that was the hotel. The world fell away, and it seemed as though they were the only two souls left in existence. Reaching out, Millie caught a snowflake, watching it melt slowly on her palm, like a fleeting moment of pure wonder.

Marcus carried her all the way back to their hotel room, laying her down on the vast bed. A blush blossomed on Millie’s cheeks, and her eyes filled with innocent confusion.

Why did he carry her like this? “You may rest here,” Marcus said, his voice gentle. “Dinner will be served in your room. | have an engagement this evening.” With a sense of purpose, he picked up a towel and wiped his body, preparing to meet a partner who had invited him to dine.

Once Marcus departed, Millie let out a relieved sigh. She bounced off the bed, tumed on the TV, and grabbed a bag of snacks before returning to her cozy nest.

Cursing under her breath, Millie realized she was succumbing to the delayed potency of the wine. Lying down, she tried to sleep it off but found herself too restless and too hot. In a haze, she stumbled out of the room, seeking fresh air, clad only in her cotton slippers.

Her footsteps were unsteady, and she nearly tumbled in the corridor.

“Mr. Thomas, your skill is so formidable that | must admit defeat,” a voice rang out. The sound of playing cards drew Millie’s blurry gaze. Curiosity piqued, she pressed her face against the crack of the next room’s door, peeking inside with a pair of blurred eyes.

In the entertainment room, four men playing cards, their backs to her. Something tugged at her memory, and she pushed the door open, stumbling in.

Marcus suddenly found his body jostled by the teetering Millie.

Millie, unable to stand straight, wrapped her arms around Marcus’ neck, pressing herself against him, her breath tinged with a heady aroma
