Chapter 746

“No, no. You have your work to attend to. I’m perfectly fine.”

If she didn’t meet Giovanni today, he would undoubtedly show up at the hospital and disrupt her well-

devised scheme.

A shade of darkness flickered across Leon’s eyes. Early morning brought a call from Marcus,

summoning him for a meeting. Marcus had promised to unveil Fiona’s identity.

“| wish you a restful day. I’ll be heading to the company.”

Rising from his seat, Leon retrieved his coat and strode toward the exit. A parting glance found Fiona,

their gazes locking momentarily. Startled, Fiona’s countenance transformed into a smile.

“Until later.”

Leon offered a nod before exiting.

At a tea establishment, Marcus prompted Millie’s curiosity, eliciting her query.

“Why have we come here?”

“T have an appointment,” Marcus responded, offering a cup of tea to Millie. “Give it a taste.”

With who? Why did he bring her along to meet this person? Since Marcus chose not to divulge, Millie

chose not to pry.

Millie sipped the tea, an amalgamation of bitterness and sweetness.

Shortly thereafter, Leon arrived. A swift, mutual exchange of glances passed between Marcus and

Leon. The sight of Millie’s presence seemed to mildly surprise Leon.

A similar astonishment settled within Millie, who sought clarification from Marcus —his intention to meet

Leon seemed apparent.

With a gentle touch, Marcus placed Millie’s hand on his lap, a gesture laden with intent.

Last night’s revelations ignited Marcus’ vigilance toward Leon.

If Millie was indeed the individual Leon sought, his reaction could signify an attempt to reclaim her from

Marcus now that she was married.

Puzzled by Marcus’ actions, Millie squirmed, unease tugging at her. The unfamiliarity of such public

intimacy unsettled her.

“Cease, my dear.” Marcus tightened his hold, adopting a petulant tone. Then he turned his gaze to

Leon.

“Please, take a seat.”

What was Marcus thinking? Millie was left bewildered.

Observing Marcus’ actions, Leon took a seat, his expression etched with a cold smile.
