Chapter: 158

The only person who seemed particularly angry with this, was Rhea.

“Drop it here, Marcus. Millie is waiting!” Bruce urged.

Marcus threw Bruce a warning glare before taking out the room card from his chest pocket and giving it to Bruce.

Bruce rushed back to the front desk and handed the card to Millie who didn’t even touch it.

“Millie, here’s Marcus’ room card.”

“you should give that back to him. I’ve already booked a room for myself,” Millie replied casually.

Bruce frowned, confused.

“Why do you want to be in a different room from your husband?”

Millie took the card the receptionist was giving to her and said, “The owner explained the rooms here are generally small, and

might be a bit crowded for two people. | think we'll both be able to rest better if we have our own space.”

She was fed up with sleeping on the sofa at home. She wouldn’t put herself through that out here too. Her neck hurt, and she

could already feel it getting stiff. Plus, she knew that sharing a room with Marcus would be calling unnecessary trouble on

herself. She wasn’t so stupid as to go looking for it.

Bruce still wasn’t convinced, but it seemed that Millie wasn’t going to change her mind whatever he said. So, he nodded and

checked in too.

By afternoon time, everyone was beginning to get tired and headed back to their rooms for a nap.

Marcus walked towards his room, expecting to find Millie in. However, when he opened the door, he found no sign of the woman.

The bathroom was just as he left it, and her clothes were nowhere in the room.

Did she finally decide to take another room?

“Marcus, will you take a nap too?” Rhea’s voice broke through his thoughts as she knocked and allowed herself in, her eyes

scanning the room.

Her intention had been to interrupt Millie and Marcus in whatever they were up to, but Millie wasn’t in, and there was no trace of

her in the room.

That was even better.

“Yes. What do you want?” Marcus inquired coldly, looking away from the bathroom.

Rhea smiled and said, “I made some fruit salad and saved some for you. I'll just put it on the table and leave. Have a good rest.”

Rhea placed the salad on the table and silently left, closing the door behind her. She felt better now that Millie wasn’t in the room

with Marcus.

Alone in the room, Marcus looked at the bed that was covered with a white bedsheet. Sunlight poured in through the open

curtains and cast a soft glow on the sheets.

For some reason, the glowing white bed sheet made him think of Millie’s fair legs.
