Chapter 1223
With an affectionate grin, Marcus said, “Alright. I better let you go now. I’ll call you tonight. We’ll catch up in the morning and before bedtime.”
“Sure thing. Goodbye.”
On his way back, Roland overheard Millie’s conversation and couldn’t help but feel a touch of melancholy. The bond between Millie and her husband appeared strong.
Though he still held feelings for her, he had accepted the fact that he wasn’t the right man for her.
Millie’s husband possessed a remarkable quality that he just couldn’t match.
Seeing Roland at the doorway, Millie greeted him with a smile.
“I appreciate you getting Mr. Nicolas to assist me.”
Roland playfully tapped his head and entered the room.
“No problem at all. We’re friends, after all. Helping each other is what friends do.”
“I heard from Joan that you assisted my grandma too. Thank you so much.”
Roland had heard from Joan that her grandma needed some help in farm work, so he gave her his assistance.
He felt embarrassed to be thanked for something so simple.

“It’s nothing, really. I just helped her pick some corn. No big deal.”
Millie understood that her grandma was accustomed to staying busy.
Despite Millie promptly sending her monthly allowance, the old woman persisted in her daily farming efforts.
Upon seeing the look on Millie’s face, Roland sensed her concern and swiftly clarified.
“No need to feel pressured. I just happened to notice and offer some assistance. I’m always ready to help others. No need to feel indebted.”
Having said that, Roland mentioned that he needed to return to gather herbs.
Millie detected a growing sense of responsibility in him and wished him well in finding the right partner.
“Ahem…”
Suddenly, Millie’s grandmother coughed, her eyes fluttering open.
“Millie…” Upon waking up, the first thing she did was to call Millie’s name. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Rushing to her bedside, Millie exclaimed, “Grandma, you’re awake!”
In a feeble voice, the old woman murmured, “Why are you back? I didn’t call for you.”
