Chapter 506

His choice of words—suggestive in broad daylight—brought a flush to Millie’s cheeks.

She pouted, asserting with a touch of haughtiness, “Who said I'd bear a son for you?”

“Having a daughter would be just as delightful,” Marcus responded, a mischievous glint in his eyes as they locked with Millie’s.

That playful smile on his regal features sent a whirl of dizziness through Millie.

His towering presence eclipsed her, blocking out the sunlight. Steeling herself, she murmured with feigned discontent, “Who said

I'd bear any children for you?”

Marcus remained silent, adjusting her seat, fastening her seatbelt, and promptly closing her car door before circling to the front of

the vehicle and entering himself.

During the return journey, Millie caught sight of Grace by the roadside.

“stop for a moment. | spotted my friend. You can head back first.”

As Grace walked, a luxury car came to a halt beside her, causing her to instinctively take a step back.

When she recognized Millie stepping out of the car, her surprise was palpable.

“Millie!”

“Grace!”

Marcus lowered the car window, offering Grace a nod in greeting before driving away.

“Oh, my goodness, your husband is incredibly handsome. Millie, you must be over the moon to be with such a good-looking

man.

Millie playfully pinched her friend’s soft cheek.

“Stop teasing!”

“Sorry about that!” Grace winced a little and quickly retreated.

After a bout of playful banter, the two settled into conversation.

Millie inquired, “Where are you headed?”

“[have a day off today, so I’m planning to do some shopping. | was actually going to invite you, but lo and behold, here you are.

What a coincidence!”

Grace hadn’t expected Millie to be so radiant and cheerful today, and she couldn’t help but wonder about the reason for the

change.

As they entered a department store, Millie and Grace embarked on a leisurely stroll together.
