Chapter 893

“In the culinary realm, my skills may wane, but in nurturing you, I excel. Might this action mend the

fabric of my perceived shortcomings?”

Millie’s words ceased, comprehension dawning as the root of his vexation revealed itself. Yet, the scale

of his reaction in response to a minor matter left her contemplative; why had this infinitesimal detail

triggered such turmoil within him?

However, the male ego was often fragile. A mere spotlight on their skill deficiency held the power to

wound their ego.

“Honey, my apologies. In my eyes, you’re unmatched,” Millie expressed earnestly, her words a soothing

melody to bridge the fleeting divide.

At these words, Marcus finally smiled, a glimmer of warmth amid the shadows.

As Millie’s assertion of his culinary ineptitude reached his ears, puzzlement knitted Marcus’ brow.

After all, he was but human, not a deity. Certain tasks remained elusive due to his dedication to

weightier concerns,

To Millie’s astonishment, a solitary sentence had caused the fall of this man’s countenance. Was

Marcus too mean?

“Honey, I’ll take a sip then.” Millie lowered her head and tasted the soup from the spoon.

“my dear, it’s your turn. Please have some. This fish is beneficial for your health; you should have more

of it.” Millie’s voice was soft and persuasive,

A smile emerged on Marcus’ face. What was she planning for after his recovery?

Obliging her, Marcus enjoyed two full bowls of the fish soup, not letting her kindness go to waste. The

meal she had prepared was genuinely scrumptious.

Taking a bite of another dish, Marcus looked at Millie, asking, “Is there anything else we need to do

here?”

“No, we can leave tomorrow.

Millie responded, The roof would be repaired by the afternoon, and she could take care of the

remaining tasks within the day. They could head straight back to Preagend the next day. Did Marcus

want to leave so soon? His work usually kept him busy, making an extended stay here rather

inconvenient.

“Let’s visit the Tea Mount tomorrow.” “The Tea Mount?”

The Tea Mount was a renowned tourist destination, blessed with lovely weather, Coincidentally, Marcus

had been invited to examine a tourism development project there.

It was the perfect chance to take Millie along.

“Okay.” Millie agreed cheerfully, though she had never been there before. By the sound of the name,

she assumed there would be an abundance of tea.

Since they were leaving the next day, Millie wanted to visit Roland before departing.

“My love, I’ll pick up some fruits this afternoon and go to the hospital to visit Roland.” After a pause, she

added, “Had he not saved me, he wouldn’t be injured.”

Marcus simply nodded.

“I’l accompany you.”

Later that afternoon, Millie arrived at Roland’s ward with a large basket of fruits. Roland’s eyes sparkled

at her entrance, and he quickly sat up.
