Chapter 204
Unaware of any inconvenience, Millie absentmindedly scratched her forehead and resumed watching the show.
Marcus cast a complex expression towards his arm. After a few minutes, he realized that Millie hadn’t moved away. The sound from her phone grew even louder.
While engrossed in the drama, Millie felt a warm breath against her forehead.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
When she turned her head, she encountered a handsome face hovering above. His mellifluous voice carried a hint of helplessness.
“Lower the volume. It’s too loud to be good for your ears.”
Millie paused, taken aback by the unusual tone in Marcus’ recent words. How could he speak to her in such a manner? “Am | crazy?” she wondered, blinking her eyes while lost in thought.
Suddenly, Marcus withdrew his arm from under Millie’s head, closed his eyes, and said coldly, “You should get some sleep.” The following day, at dawn, Marcus woke up first, while Millie continued to sleep soundly in bed.
The valley enveloped them in peaceful quietness, making it a perfect place for rest.
As Marcus rose from the bed, his hand inadvertently brushed against Millie's soft waist. The touch sent a warm current coursing through his body, instantly invigorating him.
Even though she was still asleep, her energetic expression seemed to transfer some of its liveliness to him. It was as if a dormant part of him had also stirred awake.
Frowning, Marcus felt strangely uncomfortable. When did his body become so sensitive?
Upon waking up, Millie found herself alone. Sitting up, she scanned the room and spotted a pair of long legs by the door. When Marcus heard her from behind him, he turned around, wearing a stoic expression.
Millie got out of bed, slipped on her shoes, neatly folded the quilt, and returned it to the cabinet. Then, they resumed their journey.
It was a promising day. They soon encountered the steep path leading to the mountain top.
However, the road proved treacherous, and Millie gritted her teeth, staring up at what could barely be called a road—merely holes carved into the cliff.
Emerging from the valley below, they noticed Derek and a group of people preparing to descend the cliff in search of them. When Derek saw them, he was momentarily taken aback before immediately approaching them. “Mr. Thomas, Madam, we were just about to look for you.”
Filled with anger, Marcus strode toward the gangster and delivered a forceful kick, sending him sprawling to the ground.
