Chapter 1376

“Beauty is a calamity. She’s unworthy of being Marcus’s wife. A man should prioritize family honor over

romantic entanglements. I refuse to accept her as my granddaughter-in-law. Marcus is the chosen heir

of our island, and he should marry the woman I select for him.”

Brett expressed his concerns.

“But Mrs. Thomas has taken a liking to her. She’s already acknowledged her as Marcus’s wife.”

Reflecting on this, Victor couldn’t restrain his anger.

“I don’t care about her. She merely thinks she’s found a granddaughter-in-law and likes that woman

because she likes Marcus.

In the future, I’ll find a suitable match for Marcus. Marcus’s marriage is absurd, and Celeste is even

more absurd. How dare she make a decision about Marcus’s marriage without informing me? What a

foolish woman.”

The next morning, the sun was rising, and Millie was still deep in slumber. Marcus gently roused her.

In a drowsy murmur, Millie uttered, “Don’t touch me.”

She then pressed her rosy Lips together and nestled into his embrace.

After a long, exhausting day the previous day, she was sleepy and momentarily forgot her

surroundings.

In that moment, she found herself in a sweet dream. In her dream, she and Marcus were lying in a bed

of flowers, basking in the warm sunlight, sharing tender kisses amidst the blooms.

The doctors surrounding the bed exchanged glances and held their breath as they witnessed Millie

embracing Marcus.

Being scrutinized by others was not a pleasant experience. Marcus shot a warning glance at the

doctors.

“You’ll check on me later.”

“Alright.”

The doctors were taken aback by his unfriendly stare as they left.

After the doctors departed, he allowed Millie to cuddle and snooze for another half-hour.

Marcus gave her a light tap on the buttocks to rouse her.

“Time to wake up, my dear.”
