Chapter 240

As soon as she finished speaking, Millie noticed her grandmother had fallen silent, studying her with a smile. Millie felt a bit

flustered, wondering if Grandma could see through her.

But then, to her surprise, her grandma nodded approvingly.

“That’s nice, dear,” the old woman replied.

Millie hung her head. She had been foolish. She’d grown up under her grandma’s watchful eye. Of course, Grandma would know

if she was fibbing.

Moreover, she had never taken Marcus to visit her grandmother. It was peculiar that he had never met her grandma even once

since their marriage.

She wanted to make up for this oversight. She pulled out her phone to search for Marcus’ photos online. Even if he couldn’t visit

in person, she wanted Grandma to at least know what he looked like.

But something was amiss.

Millie couldn't find any photos of Marcus online. Weren’t there plenty of pictures of him in the news? Where had they gone?

It seemed as if Marcus had had them all removed. Sighing, she locked her phone.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Both Millie and Grandma turned their heads towards the sound.

There stood Marcus, looking elegant in an exquisite suit, making an entrance like a model on a runway.

Millie was taken aback. What was he doing here?

Marcus’ gaze fell on the elderly woman resting on the bed. “Hi, Grandma,” he uttered.

With her mouth agape, Millie couldn’t hide her astonishment. Had she heard it wrong? Marcus just called her grandmother

“Grandma”.

His demeanor was stern, and his voice was stoic as usual. It was evident he wasn’t accustomed to addressing someone of her

grandmother's age in such a way.

The shock of it was so intense, Millie feared she might choke if she attempted to take a sip of water.

Even her grandmother appeared surprised, but her eyes sparkled with warmth.

“Millie, this is.

Only then did Millie snap out of her daze. Rising from her seat, she walked over to Marcus and began introducing him.

“Grandma, this is Marcus. He... he’s my... husband.”

As Millie introduced him, she felt her cheeks blush. Sadly for her, there was no other way she could introduce him.
