Chapter 1237

“Yeah, corn. Don’t tell me you’ve never seen corn before. Corn is one of the most important food

products in the world. Its grains are gold, and have a soft and sweet taste,” Millie explained, thinking

that Marcus had never really seen corn before.

Marcus smiled into the phone.

“Of course I’ve seen it before. However, no matter how soft and sweet it is, it can’t be better than you.”

Millie’s ears turned red at his words.

“By the way, have you returned to Villa Imperiale?”

Angela’s Library

Marcus stretched his long legs and leaned against the sofa.

“I came here for lunch, but I’ll be going back to Cloud Villa.”

The only time he felt relaxed, was when he called Millie.

Since Marcus didn’t want to stay in Villa Imperiale, Millie didn’t insist.

“How is mom doing?” she asked instead.

Celeste didn’t like her, but Millie still cared about her. After all, she was still Marcus’ mother.

“She’s fine. You said you were tired. Are you upset that I’m not there?”

He wished he could fly to Millie in this instant and just stay with her, but alas, he couldn’t.

“No, I’m okay. I’m with grandma.”

Roland was about to leave. He shouted from outside, “I’m leaving now.

Enjoy the sweet melon. I’ll bring you more if you finish them all.”

Marcus frowned at the sound of another man’s voice.

“Why is a man there?”

Millie heard the displeased tone in his voice.

“It’s Roland. He came to give me two sweet melons. Remember him? He protected me from being

stabbed with the knife last time.”

Marcus remembered the man, but he still wasn’t happy. He only protected Millie because he liked her.

Marcus was sure of this. He was a man.

Jealous, he said, “From now on, don’t talk to him anymore. He has a crush on you.”

Millie pursed her lips. Marcus was being ridiculous.

“That won’t be good. He has helped me a lot,” she answered. And he also treated her like a friend.
