Chapter 1317

This implied that Marcus might soon become a father.

“Marcus is an ice-cold man. He doesn’t deserve to have a child. If Millie is indeed pregnant, I intend to

terminate the pregnancy,” Ryan declared firmly.

The precise reason he sought out Shera was to ensure that Marcus wouldn’t get the opportunity to

become a father because he had shot Rosa when she was carrying Ryan’s child.

“In that case, let’s act swiftly,” Shera responded.

She took a sip of tea and continued, “This afternoon, Marcus is set to attend the Sun Primary School’s

opening ceremony in Peach Town. I will accompany him there and ensure he stays there for a few

days.

This window offers the perfect opportunity for you to carry out the procedure.”

Without uttering another word, Ryan discarded the pregnancy test stick in the trash and departed.

Shera cast a cold stare at Ryan’s retreating figure. She knew that once she had Marcus, she would

need to eliminate Ryan as soon as possible. He posed a significant threat.

For him, Rosa’s memory held great significance, even if it was largely misguided.

He seemed to genuinely believe that Rosa had harbored affection for him while she was alive.

Having been friends with Rosa in the past, Shera was privy to the secrets hidden in Rosa’s mind-

secrets that had the potential to shatter Ryan’s world.

At lunchtime in the Thomas Group’s cafeteria, Dottie persistently inquired about the vacation Millie and

Marcus had recently taken.

Millie took a piece of meat and placed it on the plate before fixing her gaze on Dottie.

“Why are you so inquisitive?”

Dottie’s grin widened as she responded, “I just know you’ve been on vacation. When you came back,

you were practically radiating happiness. That’s the glow of love, my dear.”

Setting her fork down, Millie gently tapped Dottie’s forehead, jesting, “Oh, you’ve got a boyfriend too,

and you seem pretty radiant.”

Chuckling, Dottie replied, “Well, that’s because I’m a_ food enthusiast. So, where did you two lovebirds

go? Did you have a good time? I might suggest it to my boyfriend.”

Millie divulged, “We went to Summernear Resort. It’s incredibly picturesque.”

Dottie’s eyes lit up with astonishment.

“Oh my goodness! That’s the ultimate couple’s getaway. It’s renowned for its sea of flowers and

stunning scenery. People even call it ‘The Perfect Land for Kissing.'”

Millie, blinking her eyes, inquired, “The Perfect Land for Kissing?

How did I not know that?”

“Don’t worry about it. But I bet you and Mr. Thomas must have locked lips a lot there.”

A blush crept over Millie’s cheeks as she playfully pinched Dottie’s arm.
