Chapter 1041

Furthermore, for a proud man like Marcus, the suffering must be even more acute.

Seeing Millie’s determination, Marcus reached up, taking her hand in an attempt to comfort her.

“Listen to me. Go back.”

He respected Claudia and would usually heed her demands on essential matters.

But he didn’t want Millie to endure this hardship with him. If she caught a cold, his heart would break.

Before arriving, Millie had planned to speak on Marcus’ behalf to Claudia, but upon entering the old

house and seeing the silver-haired woman sitting in the spacious hall, she abandoned the idea. Millie

knew how painful it was for Claudia to see Marcus kneel.

Two servants returned quickly after taking out the trash. The low and gentle voice of Marcus still

echoed in their ears, leaving them shocked.

Upon entering the room, they immediately took refuge in a corner.

“Did you hear that? Mr. Thomas is kneeling and comforting Mrs. Thomas in a low voice. I know it’s a

sad thing, but I can’t help feeling that they are so sweet together,” one of them whispered.

“Yes, I heard it. Before Mrs. Thomas arrived, Mr. Thomas seemed so cold as he knelt there. When Mrs.

Thomas came, he instantly became gentle,” the other replied.

They chatted about Marcus and Millie with genuine interest.

“What are you two discussing? Why are you so excited?” Freyja asked, overhearing the two people

muttering happily from a distance as she took the medicine.

“Nothing, Freyja. We didn’t say anything,” they quickly responded.

“You two cunning girls, I’ve heard you. Tell me, what were you talking about?”

The two exchanged a glance, and one of them stood on tiptoe to whisper in Freyja’s ear what they had

just witnessed.

Hearing this, Freyja broke into Laughter. She waved the two girls off and hurriedly took the medicine to

the hall.

“Mrs. Thomas, you should take your medicine,” Freyja said, approaching Claudia.

Claudia accepted the medicine, her eyes narrowing with curiosity.

“What are you laughing at? Is there something amusing?”

Noticing the smile on Freyja’s face, Claudia felt a pang of confusion.

Tonight was far from an ordinary night, and she was too anxious to sleep. How could Freyja find a

reason to smile?

Freyja sought to ease Claudia’s mind.

“There’s something that might make you happy.”

“What is it? Tell me.”
