He was a good man. If he harbored affection for someone, he wouldn’t obstruct their happiness.

As their dishes arrived, Patrick encouraged her, “Let’s enjoy our meal.”

The window of the car rolled down, and Marcus’ gaze fell upon Millie, seated within the restaurant.

As Millie partook in her meal, her phone interrupted the dining scene with a call emanating from Marcus.

Perplexed by the sudden intrusion, she had no tto inquire before a stern voice reverberated on the line.

“Where are you?”

The tone struck a disconcerting chord, immediately putting Millie on edge.

Subconsciously, she scanned her surroundings as if she could sense his gaze piercing through her.

In a subdued tone, she replied, “We’re having a meal outside.”

Unrelenting, he pressed on, “With whom?”

The atmosphere grew increasingly strained. Perturbed, Millie stammered, “A friend.”

Though there was no real reason for her to feel so guilty, her anxiety surged.

In a heartbeat, Marcus issued another command. “Cout.”

Stammering, Millie echoed, “Come… Out?” A wave of apprehension washed over her as Marcus’ next words reached her ears.

“What’s wrong?” Alarmed by the sudden shift, Patrick lowered his fork, concern etched across his features.

As realization dawned, Millie turned to peer outside the restaurant, her gaze fixed on Marcus’ imposing car.

“Quickly. Or else I’ll assyou’re being unfaithful.”
