Chapter 684

“What did you talk about?” Marcus approached Millie. He had come back intentionally because Derek

informed him that someone had been following her.

Even though Bruce had handled the situation, Marcus’ worry lingered.

“Nothing of importance,” Millie replied, shaking her head.

“Is that true?” Marcus asked, staring intently into her eyes.

“Yes. Why are you back? What happened?” Millie asked, deftly steering the conversation in a new

direction.

Marcus answered, his voice tinged with concern, “Someone has been following you.

What’s going on? Are you hurt?” He looked Millie up and down, searching for any signs of injury.

Had he come back for her? Millie was slightly taken aback.

“It’s two men sent by Fiona. She wants me to move out of this community,” she explained.

Confused, Marcus asked, “Do you know why?”

Why would she send people to follow Millie?

Millie responded, “She must be feeling guilty. She’s afraid I’ll reveal her hidden secrets since we live in

the same neighborhood and might bump into each other frequently.”

Marcus had already sensed something amiss with Fiona. Still, Leon’s infatuation blinded him to her true

nature.

As Marcus turned to leave, Millie suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

“Have you really recovered?” she asked, suspicion in her eyes.

She knew something was off, as Marcus had never changed his dressing at home.

And she knew that it wasn’t because he felt embarrassed.

A faint smile crossed Marcus’ lips as he said, “Yes.”

Millie’s concern seemed to ease the pain in his wound.

Upon seeing Marcus’ grin, Millie’s face flushed, and a wave of dizziness washed over her. But her mind

quickly sharpened, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

“you don’t believe me? Then unbutton my shirt and see for yourself,” Marcus teased, smirking.

He took Millie’s slender hand and placed it on one of his shirt buttons, his raised an eyebrow hinting at

her next move.
