Chapter 260

The commanding voice echoed above Millie, leaving her slightly disoriented.

However, she maintained a semblance of control and gave her head a shake.

“No, no, it’s just that the fish tastes good.”

She felt Marcus’ gaze on her.

“| have to go to work.”

Sensing the imminent danger, Millie attempted to slip out of his grasp on the door.

But Marcus lowered his hand, barring her path.

Glancing at his watch, Marcus commented, “It’s still early. I'll drop you off later.”

“What are you planning?”

The ominous aura intensified, leaving Millie feeling uncertain.

“You stoked my flames. Now you’re going to put them out.”

Millie’s cheeks flushed. What did he mean by ‘flames’? It couldn’t be what she imagined.

She had a terrible feeling and retorted, “When did | stoke your flames? Stop making unfounded accusations.”

She couldn't recall doing anything to provoke him. She'd been busy pruning since the early morning.

“You did.”

Marcus was reminded of the sight of Millie eating the fish he’d caught, with her white teeth and red lips.

“No way. | didn’t.”

As Millie was puzzling over her supposed mistake, Marcus suddenly bent down, his strong chest against hers, and his hot lips

found hers.

“Uh.” Stunned by Marcus’ abrupt kiss, Millie was momentarily frozen.

She felt a sting on her lips as Marcus deepened the kiss. Millie pushed against him.

“Let go of me, you jerk.”

She tried to fight back. Marcus caught her hands, pinned them over her head, and refused to break the kiss.
