“Are you listening?” Marcus questioned.

Perceiving the puzzled expression on Millie's face, he playfully issued a veiled threat. “If you decline, I'll be compelled to kiss you

once more.”

Millie observed Marcus approach once more while listening to the commotion beyond the door. Freyja remained befuddled about

the door’s peculiar behavior.

“Madam, let me get you settled in the living room first. I'll inspect the issue with the door.”

Millie shook her head, her resolve unyielding.

“Stop. | promise you.”

“Do you recall what | just said?” Marcus didn’t back down instantly. His uneven breath, akin to sparks, brushed against her skin.

Millie swallowed, her throat tingling, and nodded.

“Say it again.”

Blinking, Millie echoed, “I won't forsake myself when faced with danger next time.

T'll await your rescue.”

Hearing these words, Marcus finally seemed content. He lightly pinched her hand, relinquishing his hold.

“Come down from there.”

Millie hopped off the table.

With a gentle nudge, Marcus shifted the table aside.

“Are we departing now?” Millie’s anxiety centered on the prospect of leaving and being caught in the act.

“Let's exit via the window,” Marcus suggested, his gaze briefly grazing the window.

Together they approached the window, pushing it open, only to find that it was raining outside.

As soon as they stepped out, Freyja reappeared, drawn by her curiosity.

Astonishingly, this time, the door yielded with ease.

“That’s strange. The door was clearly obstructed just now. Why is the window open?”

As Freyja’s footsteps neared the window, Marcus discreetly pulled Millie away.
