Chapter 879

“Darling, you misunderstood,” Marcus clarified with a smile. Drawing nearer, Marcus’ warm breath

gently brushed against Millie’s forehead.

The memory of their recent intimate encounter tormented him during the days she had been away.

Understanding his implication, Millie’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She lowered her gaze and

playfully scolded him, wondering why he was being so flirtatious in public.

Due to Marcus’ fever, Millie decided to cut short their walk, and they returned home, picking up

medicine for Marcus on the way back.

Once they were home, Millie prepared a glass of warm water and fetched the medicine for Marcus.

“Take the medicine,” she gently urged.

Marcus accepted the medicine from Millie, grateful for her care. He thought to himself that having a

wife was truly a blessing, especially in times Like these when she took care of him when he was sick.

Accepting the pills, Marcus couldn’t help but smile, appreciating the care he was receiving from his

wife.

“Isn’t it bitter Millie asked, noticing his expression.

Marcus ran his fingers through her hair and replied, “It’s sweet, because you bought it for me.”

Millie chuckled softly, her caring nature shining through as she encouraged him, “Just take the

medicine, get some rest, and you’ll feel better tomorrow.”

Millie continued to fuss over him like a caring grandmother, offering her advice and attention to ensure

he felt better. She recalled her childhood when her grandma would tell her to take medicine and rest

when she caught a cold, assuring her that a good night’s sleep would help her recover.

She deduced that his illness might have been caused by the bumpy mountain road and the long drive.

“Sleep with me,” Marcus requested,

Putting down the glass, Marcus held Millie’s hand and drew her into his embrace.

If it weren’t for his fever, he would be kissing her at this moment. He cherished every aspect of Millie,

even her talkative nature, and it brought him happiness.

Millie gently pushed him away and said, “You should rest first. I need to process the oranges I picked

and preserve them, or they might spoil.”

“Do it tomorrow. Rest for now,” Marcus replied.

Millie wasn’t feeling sleepy at the moment and proposed, “Well, I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep.”

Embracing her tightly, Marcus closed his eyes, and Millie found herself captivated by his handsome

features — his well-defined eyebrows, his sharp nose, and his perfectly shaped lips.

This man’s handsomeness surpassed even that of magazine models.

Enchanted, Millie leaned in, risking a chill, and planted a kiss on him before quickly pulling back.

After Marcus had fallen into slumber, Millie quietly left the bed and entered the Living room. There, she

delicately started peeling the orange, letting its sweet aroma envelop the room.

Upon completing the peeling process, Millie realized that there was no white sugar available at home.

Consequently, she ventured out to the supermarket before darkness set in.
