Chapter 316

Suddenly, Marcus’ phone, resting on the bed, sprang to life. Both Marcus and Millie turned their attention to the device.

Marcus released Millie’s arm after a prolonged ring and went to answer the call.

The conversation remained unknown, but with each passing moment, Marcus’ brows furrowed increasingly.

Seeing Marcus in fresh attire and seemingly recovered from the drug's influence,

Millie felt a wave of relief wash over her. She sank into the nearest chair.

But the mysterious phone call began to trouble her. Had something transpired? Was it related to her? Marcus kept throwing

glances her way while on the phone. Look, he was doing it again.

Marcus cast a glance at Millie, his eyes narrowing, as he asked the person on the other end, “Did she truly state that?”

Millie’s heart pounded, and her mind raced. Why was he looking at her with such an expression?

After a brief exchange, the call concluded, and Marcus casually tossed his phone onto the bed. He then strutted towards Millie.

Sensing the building tension, Millie decided to seize the initiative and asked,

“What's going on? Who was on the call?”

Marcus leaned over her, his sturdy hands resting on either side of Millie’s chair, effectively caging her in. His eyebrow quirked.

“Rylie mentioned that you'd voiced plans for a divorce.”

Millie’s lips quivered at the revelation. The previous call was from Rylie. That blabbermouth—how had she informed Marcus so

promptly?

Marcus’ slightly constricted eyes and the imposing glare suggested his displeasure at Rylie’s revelation.

Composing herself, Millie took a deep breath.

“IL implied a possibility, not a certainty. She conveniently omitted that detail.”

As she clarified her stance with a look of deep seriousness on her face, Marcus felt as though he’d taken a body blow. She had

indeed uttered those words.

So she had been considering divorce all this time. It made sense now—her resistance earlier, her fear that he might proceed.

Marcus straightened up, his hand by his side unconsciously clenching into a fist. He had an overwhelming urge to release his

frustration through a vigorous boxing match.

He was caught off guard when Rylie mentioned this, reminding him to be more attentive to Millie and dissuade her from reckless

ideas.

This woman was contemplating divorcing him!
