Chapter: 87 “What do you think you're doing? Don’t come any closer! | don’t want your ‘reward’.”
With an air of masculinity surrounding him, Millie struggled to raise her head. The man’s Adam's apple subtly moved, and the glint of a diamond clasp around his neck reflected a flicker of light, almost blinding her.
“| said don’t you dare come near me!” “You called me a bastard just now. | might as well live up to that title.”
Marcus chuckled, finding amusement in Millie's apprehensive expression. As he caught sight of her flushed earlobe, he extended two fingers and gently squeezed, savoring the sensation.
“You're a despicable man! Let go of my ear. You have no right to touch me.”
“Do you realize how many times you've called me a scoundrel? No one has ever dared to insult me like that. Do you know how long the last person who insulted me ended up in the hospital?” he countered.
Millie attempted to push the man’s hand away, but he held onto her firmly. He gently caressed her ear, causing her body to tingle with electricity.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“silly woman, stay still.”
Gradually, Marcus released his grip and ran his large palm through Millie’s hair. She could feel his breath mingling with her hair. “What do you think you're doing? I’m warning you, if you try to take advantage of me, I'll fight you to the death.”
Controlled by Marcus, Millie felt utterly embarrassed and spoke fiercely.
“How desperate are you? Just like last night, when you crawled into my bed?” A suggestive smile crept across Marcus’ face above Millie’s head.
“Last night was a mistake. It’s not at all what you’re thinking!” Millie was so infuriated that she felt like she was about to faint. She pushed against his chest, but Marcus caught hold of her hand. ©
“Alright, alright. Your hair is a mess. You're still so stubborn. You can’t go out with your hair all disheveled. Don’t | want to maintain some dignity?” he remarked.
Gently, Marcus pushed away the strands of hair from Millie’s face. His fingertips swept by her skin like a feather, giving her a tingly sensation. She shivered involuntarily at the contact, then tried to pull herself together and pushed him away with force before running away from the balcony and into the hall.
She ran for a moment and stopped at the center of the hall, looking around at the bustling banquet hall in a daze.
She wasn’t sure if she was imagining it or not, but it felt like everyone was pointing fingers at her, and whispering conspiratorially among themselves.
“Marcus got someone else pregnant. Millie Brown is just a stupid joke. How miserable must she feel? It mustn’t be easy to be cheated on by your husband.”
Millie could even hear the laughter at the end of their words. Her mind felt like it was going to explode. “Millie?” Bruce called, coming close to her.
She didn’t answer, as though she couldn't see or hear him.
