Chapter: 387

Taking it out, she discovered a light blue evening gown adorned with scattered diamonds on the hem. The dress seemed

strangely familiar to her.

After a moment of reflection, she recalled the gown. It was the starry sky gown that had recently graced the Milan Fashion Show

and was known to be worth a fortune.

Millie promptly shook her head and replied, “I can’t accept this. It’s far too valuable.”

“There’s a charity banquet tomorrow night, and | hope you accompany me. This gown is meant for you as your evening dress,”

Marcus explained with a gentle smile.

“You mean | have to be there as well?” Millie’s delicate eyebrows furrowed as she recalled glimpsing the scrolling text on the

hotel's large screen mentioning the charity banquet.

With a nod, Marcus confirmed once again, “Yes.”

Millie meticulously examined the gown, mesmerized by its beauty. It seemed almost innate for women to be captivated by

exquisite things. After setting her eyes on the gown, a slight flush spread across her face, and she felt a tinge of shyness.

Why did he go to such lengths to purchase such an expensive dress? The question lingered in her mind.

“Alright,” in a deliberately nonchalant tone, Millie responded, though her gaze seemed to have softened compared to before.

Marcus’ gaze briefly swept over Millie's figure, and he suggested, “Why not try it on?” “I estimated the size,” Marcus added,

giving a slight smile.

He had seen this dress in a magazine and thought it would suit Millie well. Without much thought, he had ordered it, and today

seemed to be the perfect occasion to put it to use.

This woman could pull off any look effortlessly, even if she were donning a simple t-shirt; Marcus couldn't help but notice her

unique and captivating charm.

As his woman, he felt a strong desire to lavish her with the finest things, wanting to ensure she had nothing but the best.

When making the purchase, Marcus remembered Millie’s figure and provided the measurements, but he couldn’t shake off a

lingering uncertainty about their accuracy.

Millie couldn’t help but notice Marcus’ gaze briefly scanning her chest, which made her feel both embarrassed and awkward. Out

of curiosity, she glanced at the dress’s size card and was taken aback to find that the measurements matched hers flawlessly.

Had he managed to estimate her size accurately? Millie felt her cheeks flush with a soft hue of pink, unable to hide her blush.

Suddenly, a warm sensation washed over Millie’s body, and she froze, realizing that she had forgotten it was that time of the

month. In her preoccupation, she had neglected to prepare herself for this situation.

Marcus couldn’t help but notice Millie’s abrupt shift in demeanor. Her previously flushed face had turned pale, and it was evident

that something had unsettled her.

“What's wrong?” Marcus inquired, expressing concern over Millie’s sudden change in demeanor.

Millie felt a strong surge of warmth and found herself immobilized by the situation.

She was afraid to move, realizing that her light blue jeans were likely already soaked.

Marcus stood before her, his gaze seemingly penetrating, as if he could see right through her.

“I'm... I'm fine. Could you please turn off the lights in the living room?” Millie stammered, her dry lips trembling as she pointed

towards the bright lights in the living room. Her discomfort was evident, and she desperately wanted some privacy and relief from

the situation.
