Chapter 838

“How did you know?” Millie asked, surprised.

“Coincidentally, my girlfriend also attended Preagend University. She mentioned it to me,” Mylo

disclosed.

Millie’s gaze alighted upon the girl who was absorbed in her meal, fingers dancing across her phone’s

screen.

“Thank you! I*1l drink it on her behalf.” Marcus took the wine glass that Mylo handed to Millie.

“Come on. Just take one sip. It’s a gesture of goodwill, and she should appreciate it personally,” Mylo

urged.

Observing Millie, Marcus held the wine glass delicately and reassured, “No need to fret, we’re a team.”

“You’re correct. As a married couple, you should be connected both emotionally and… physically.”

Mylo pauses for a moment to emphasize the word physically.

Feeling uncomfortable, Millie thought Mylo was truly irritating. Millie cast a complex glance at Marcus.

Marcus downed his drink and guided Millie away from the smooth-talking Mylo.

Placing the cup casually on the table, Marcus fixed his gaze on Millie with a playful glint in his eyes.

“What were you thinking just now? You seemed lost in thought.”

Millie felt a rush of guilt. Did he pick up on her thoughts about the hidden meaning of Mylo’s words?

“After he mentioned wanting us to be happy…”

Marcus leaned slightly, shielding them from prying eyes.

She hadn’t expected him to catch her momentary lapse.

But she certainly wouldn’t confess what was on her mind. “N-n-nothing,” Millie stammered, her anxiety

evident as she scanned the surroundings.

“Really?” A deep smile played on Marcus’ handsome face.

Holding her breath, Millie managed, “Believe it or not, I’m going to have something to eat.”

She reached for a skewer from the side, about to take a bite, when she hesitated. Realization dawned

on her; the roast sausage seemed to carry a hidden innuendo after Mylo’s remarks.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“I don’t want this,” Millie admitted, her embarrassment causing her to shake her head. Opting for a

squid instead, she tried to move past her awkward thoughts.
