Chapter 389

Chapter: 389

Only when Marcus went to the shower did she start to feel at ease.

Shortly after, Marcus emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, his handsome figure making Millie

blush. She hastily hid her face under the quilt.

Despite spending many nights with him, his remarkable physique still made her feel bashful.

Marcus dried his hair with a towel and tossed it onto a chair. He then approached the bed, lifting the quilt to get in. The bed

sagged under his weight, and Millie stared at him, astonished.

Why was he getting into bed tonight?

Recently, whenever she slept in the bed, he would take the sofa. Why was tonight different?

It was peculiar. Initially, Marcus had wanted her to sleep on the sofa, but after she fell asleep in the bed once, he chose the sofa

instead.

It seemed they had settled on an unspoken agreement to alternate sleeping on the bed.

Yet something unforeseen occurred twice. Though she was supposed to sleep on the sofa, she ended up in bed with him.

“What do you want?” Millie demanded, sitting up quickly, her bright eyes wide with surprise at his actions.

Millie wasn’t feeling well that night and preferred not to sleep on the sofa.

Marcus glanced at Millie disdainfully.

“| won't do anything given your period.”

Millie wanted to speak but was overcome by embarrassment once more.

Marcus switched off the light suddenly, plunging the room into darkness and silence.

“Don't be naive. If | really want you, | would have done it to you. You're overconfident,” he said, his words causing Millie to shiver

in pain.

Millie’s behavior had slowly begun to eat away at Marcus’ self-confidence and pride.

The truth was, he was drawn to her.

The situation was agonizing for him.

Millie felt a strong urge to cry. His words had deeply wounded her. She believed she was attractive enough for Marcus.

She had to face the fact that she had misunderstood their relationship. Marcus never seemed to have feelings for her, she

realized.

Then why had Marcus kissed her? The kisses were forceful, even painful. If he found her unattractive, why did he do it?
