Chapter 796

Grace’s arrival was swift; her animated greeting was accompanied by a fan to quell the heat.

“I told you to take your time,” Millie commented.

“Well, I’ve missed you. I can’t help but hurry,” Grace responded. “You mentioned you’re attending

classes at Preagend University. What’s up? Are you pursuing postgraduate studies there?”

Millie shook her head, Launching into an account of recent events. Grace’s reaction was a sly grin.

“Wow, your husband is taking on the role of your teacher. How’s that feel? Do you get to nap in class?”

“It’s quite the contrary, actually. He’s quite strict, and I’m afraid to make the slightest mistake.”

“What? He’s strict with you too?”

“Yes.” Millie confirmed.

Speaking of studying, a quiet longing resided within Millie—a hope to one day settle down and return to

her studies.

As they sipped their cool drinks, Grace’s gaze slid to Millie’s flat stomach.

“You’ve been married for a while. Why hasn’t your belly shown any changes?”

“What do you mean? Is there something wrong with my belly?” Millie inquired.

“I mean, why haven’t you conceived yet? Is there a health issue? I’ll be happy to go to the hospital with

you when I have some free time. You need to have a child for the Thomas family soon to secure your

position,” Grace explained.

“When did you become such a busybody?”

Millie chuckled, taken aback. She’d encountered numerous prodding questions about pregnancy. What

was the hurry, she wondered?

“Do you and Marcus sleep in separate rooms?” Grace’s tone turned serious, expressing concern for

their well-being.

“Well, sort of,” Millie admitted.

Millie held no secrets from Grace, revealing that she and Marcus hadn’t yet been intimate.

Grace appeared baffled.

“That’s odd. You’re a beautiful woman, and he can’t be uninterested. Perhaps you’re dressing too

conservatively. We should buy some alluring lingerie. I guarantee it’ll spark his interest.”

Rubbing her forehead, Millie pondered. When had Grace become so forthright?

After lingering in the dessert shop for a while, Grace couldn’t contain her enthusiasm, dragging Millie to

a shop specializing in intimate wear.
