Chapter 505

Denby’s countenance shifted, registering shock.

“What? How could she engage in such a senseless act?”

Denby’s perplexed inquiry came to an abrupt halt as his guilty gaze shifted towards Millie.

The realization struck him that Mia's seemingly foolish act had not been targeted at herself. The medicine must have been

intended for Millie.

Marcus’ chilly and calculating gaze rested on the tea cup Mia had consumed earlier.

Mia’s urging for Millie to drink the tea replayed in his mind.

With this revelation cemented, Marcus rose from his seat, his lips curving with a frigid edge.

“We have urgent matters to attend to. We're leaving.”

“Perhaps stay a bit longer... Alright, if you have matters to attend to, proceed. Feel free to visit us more often in the future.”

Denby’s attempt to extend their stay met Marcus’ unwavering coldness, leaving him no room to insist. Reluctantly, he acceded to

Marcus’ terse announcement.

As they exited the premises, Millie walked ahead, her steps faltering.

Climbing into the car and closing the door, Millie was startled as Marcus approached, opening the door on her side, his imposing

presence enfolding her.

His hand deftly adjusted the backrest of her seat, granting her added comfort.

Millie reclined, the sudden movement catching her off guard, though the adjustment came to a gentle halt before it could cause

her any unease.

Swiftly, Marcus’ hand pressed against Millie’s abdomen, a ferocious glint flashing in his eyes at the audacity of someone to

terminate his family line.

On this day, Millie donned a bright yellow dress, its hem grazing her knees, radiating a lively energy.

Her ponytail was elegantly secured at the crown of her head, a few wisps of hair framing her clear and graceful neck. Her

presence exuded a gentle and youthful allure, reminiscent of a blossoming young woman.

The touch of Marcus’ hand against her abdomen jolted Millie’s heart with apprehension.

“What are you doing?” she protested.

Marcus’ severity softened, with a hint of arrogance lacing his tone as he spoke.

“Just ensuring the future site for my son remains intact.”

His son?!
