No sooner had she returned and pulled out her sketch than a knock sounded at the door. Millie’s heart leaped as she jumped to her feet, her mind rushing to the thought that it might be Marcus, which filled her with excitement.

When she opened the door, however, she found Leon there, one hand casually resting in his pocket.

Leon could see the shock in her eyes.

“Do you hate seeingthat much?” he inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity.

He had just left Fiona’s room, telling her he had something to attend to. Yet, as he walked toward the stairs, he found himself looking back at Millie’s door. The faint light visible through the narrow gap in the frdrew him, and he found himself knocking.

The memory of Millie’s angry expression that momning lingered in his mind.

Millie displayed indifference, her memory of Leon pinching her chin earlier in the day still fresh.

“What’s the matter?”

Leon’s expression darkened. He had received news of Marcus’ injury and found the room empty. It seemed Marcus had gone elsewhere to recover.

“Let’s step inside and talk. Remember, I once operated on your grandmother.”

He found it odd that Millie hadn’t tended to the injured Marcus. Weren’t their feelings quite strong?

Mentioning her grandmother lessened Millie’s animosity towards Leon, prompting her to step aside and allow him to enter.

“You’re alone at home. Why didn’t you accompany your husband?”

Leon scanned the neat and orderly room before looking back at Millie.

Millie pursed her lips.

“He’s away on a business trip. Why should I go with him?”

She even suspected whether Leon was aware that Marcus wasn’t on a business trip and had cto mock her deliberately.

“He’s away on a business trip?”

Leon was taken aback. Despite Marcus’ injury, he managed to embark on a business trip.

Millie sensed Leon’s astonishment. Did Leon really know that Marcus wasn’t on a business trip but rather with Rhea?

“Would you like to watch sTV? I can turn it on.”

Millie sought to redirect the conversation that made her uncomfortable.
