Chapter 217

Suddenly, Millie was hoisted off the floor.

Marcus lifted her and nodded toward Bruce.

“Settle the bill and escort that lady home.”

“Hey, what’s happening? Grace, assist me.”

Startled, Millie found herself draped over Marcus’ shoulder, the floor a distance away.

Grace hurried to catch up but stuttered upon seeing Marcus’ icy expression.

“Millie, it's better...to return with Mr. Thomas.”

“Grace.

Marcus carried Millie out of the diner, tossed her into the vehicle, climbed in, and drove off.

“Hey, what’s the idea? | told you | wouldn’t return. | want to go to my friend’s place.

Didn’t you hear me?”

Marcus glanced at Millie and accelerated. She was so alarmed that she quickly buckled her seatbelt.

Millie was left speechless.

Celeste, who had been dozing off, was roused by the sound of a car in the driveway.

She rose, opened the window, and saw Marcus exiting the car and heading towards the house. However, after a few steps, he

spun around, opened the car door, and fixed a stern gaze on someone.

After a few seconds, Celeste watched as Marcus quickly leaned down and hoisted someone out of the car. The figure on his

shoulder writhed in resistance.

Celeste recognized the figure on Marcus’ shoulder as Millie. Her expression abruptly altered, and she closed the window.

Marcus carried Millie to the bedroom and flung her onto the bed.

Millie was disoriented. As she tried to rise, Marcus lunged, pinned her hands to the bed, and hissed in her ear.

“This was the first and last time | ventured out to find you. If you dare to leave without notifying me again, | will break your legs.”

He had nearly lost his mind searching for her in such terrible weather!

Millie felt suffocated under his oppressive aura. Indignant, she raised her voice.
