Chapter 385

Chapter: 385

A twitch tugged at the corners of Millie’s mouth, memories of their wedding photoshoot dancing before her eyes. She had only

turned away for an instant, and suddenly he was entwined with a female staff member, posing together.

With starlit eyes, Millie threw Marcus a sidelong glance, vowing not to be deceived.

This man, she realized, was no saint at heart.

As she began to lower her chin in defiance, Marcus seized it with a forceful hand.

With her dainty chin held aloft, Millie shot back, indignation in her voice, “What's wrong with looking at you this way? Are you

“Challenge once, kiss once. It seems a fair exchange.”
