Chapter 1042

“Mrs. Thomas is outside, accompanying Mr. Thomas. I overheard two girls talking about them…”

As Freyja anticipated, Claudia’s face lit up with a relieved smile.

“What a loving couple. They used to be at odds, but now they’re so sweet together.”

“Exactly. Please take your medicine.”

“Okay, I’ll take it now.”

This conversation served as a gentle breeze on a tense night, softening the atmosphere. Claudia

consumed the bitter medicine in one gulp.

“Honey, why don’t you listen to me?” Marcus said, raising his hand to support his head. It appeared that

Millie was becoming stubborn once again.

He wanted to teach the overly talkative Derek a lesson.

He also wanted Millie to stay, but he couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

“Okay, I can leave. But before that, I have to see grandma.”

“Honey .

Millie turned around with a reassuring smile.

“Don’t worry. I just want to say hello. I won’t say anything else.

She knew what Marcus wanted to say. He didn’t want her to beg for him. He would rather kneel until

Claudia’s anger subsided.

Jonah was Claudia’s son; she didn’t want him to be harmed.

Upon arriving at the hall, Millie approached with a smile.

“Grandma.”

Before Millie entered, Claudia was about to instruct Freyja to invite her in.

“Millie, why are you here? It’s very late.”

“I couldn’t fall asleep at home, so I came to see you.” Millie’s face was bright, and she avoided

mentioning anything about Marcus.

Claudia smiled, recognizing Millie’s intent.

“Are you really here to visit me?”

Millie nodded confidently.

“Yes, grandma. It’s late, I’ll head home now. Good night.” Claudia was somewhat surprised. Millie didn’t

intercede for Marcus, and she admired Millie all the more for not putting her in an awkward position.
