Suddenly, dark clouds loomed over Yerwick, signaling an imminent downpour.
Millie noticed a black Audi parked at the entrance when she left the hospital. Standing next to
it was a man in a suit.
âMillie. He waved at her with a warm smile, excluding charm and elegance.
âHey, Mr. Harrison! Itâs been ages since we last saw each other. I can only imagine how busy youâve been lately Millie approached him.
Simon acknowledged. âI just got back from a business trip.â
She peered into the car and spotted Simonâs suitcase âDid you come here directly without leaving your suitcase at home first?

Millie couldnât help but glance at him once more and let out a light chuckle
âWill you join me for dinner?â he asked.
Millie nodded. âSureâ
Simon gallantly opened the car door for Millie. Once inside, he presented her with a gift. âFor youâ
âYou shouldnât have!â
Simon smiled and said, âItâs okay You saved my dad back then, and I havenât been able to properly thank you Speaking of my dad, he mentioned wanting to invite you to dinner
sometime.
Millie was opening the gift. Upon hearing the invite, she looked up and rejected it. âItâs just a small favor. You donât have to do this.
âIt may seem like a small favor to you, but for us, it means saving my dadâs life.â Simon replied sterly. The Harrison family was incredibly grateful for what Millie had done.
She looked at Simon and smiled helplessly. âAlright then.â
The Harrison family had their own etiquette, so Millie couldnât say much. After all, it was just a meal, not a taboo Simon treated her exceptionally well. She could also use this chance to assess Patrickâs wellâbeing
The car slowly pulled away Millie opened the gift box, and it revealed a necklace Instand. she recognized it as a rare tresnen danken
âItâs a butterfly.â Millie was pleasantly surprised by the design.
Simon smiled. âBecause you have a butterfly tattoo on your back.â
He wondered if Millie preferred a butterfly pattern
Millie paused and instinctively touched her shoulder. She thanked Simon and said, âI really
She truly loved the butterfly pattern. The gift deeply moved her. She had to admit that Simon was very attentive to details.
Unfortunately, Winston never showed such attention. Perhaps he had given all his attention
to Joanna
Millie was lost in thought for a moment before turning to Simon and asking, Thereâs a cruise party in 5 month. Are you going?â
âThe popular cruise party in Yerwick?â He glanced at Millie.
Millin nodded.
If youâre interested and plan to attend, Iâm more than happy to accompany youâ His eyes softened.
Millie listened to his answer and simply smiled without responding Simon was noble and elegant. He wouldnât like such a public party.
After putting away the necklace, she rested her cheek on her hand and looked out the window. Her eyes were filled with intense thoughts.
At the Wiscadian restaurant, Millie sat down while Simon excused himself to the bathroom.
As Millie pondered what to order, a voice caught her attention.
âYou have no idea. My daughter and Winston are a perfect match. Millie canât compare to her No one can compare to my daughter except for Louisaâ
Another voice immediately asked, âMrs Lowell, who is Louisa?â
Millie couldnât help but turn her head, only to discover that the person sitting right behind her was Harriet, Joannaâs mother.
âLouisa,â she murmured, appearing slightly uneasy as she hesitated to explain
Millie was surprised. She couldnât help but greet her. âMrs. Lowell, what a coincidence to see
you here!â
