Chapter 884

Darin’s affection for Rhea had taken a sinister turn, transforming him into a perilous instrument poised

to strike at her. Although she had been rescued today, the resolve within Darin remained unyielding.

Without a lesson imparted, he would undoubtedly persist in his pursuit, orchestrating further attempts

on her life through the hands of his henchmen.

Amidst the storm of uncertainty, Marcus extended a soothing touch to Millie’s hair, offering gentle

solace amidst the turmoil.

“Leave behind these distressing thoughts. I stand by your side. During his hospital stay, Marcus

reached out to Derek. A veiled promise lingered in the air: any harm befalling Millie would provoke dire

consequences for Darin.

With a firm grip on her hand, Marcus assured, “We will journey through life together, aging in each

other’s embrace. Our legacy will be generations of children and grandchildren.”

Millie’s demeanor, previously heavy with despondency, dissolved into laughter at his words.

“Sounds like there will be an abundance of offspring that our home will scarcely accommodate them all.

Alas, I cannot bring forth such a multitude. Her response tickled his amusement.

Yet, as Marcus’ gaze inadvertently wandered, fixating upon her posterior, Millie’s cheeks tinged with a

rosy hue.

“Perhaps you can,” he playfully countered, delighting in her response. Caught off guard by his scrutiny,

Millie couldn’t help but question his intentions, Additionally, where had his gaze been directed just

moments ago? Millie’s curiosity prompted her to turn her head, revealing that his attention had been

fixed on her posterior.

What had prompted him to cast his gaze upon her buttocks? Millie’s cheeks flushed, her response a

reflection of her embarrassment.

“Where were your eyes wandering just now?”

“Can’t you guess?”

Marcus’ smile bore a hint of mischievousness, and he found her straightforwardness endearing.

Millie inhaled deeply, her resolve asserting itself as she addressed the situation.

“Why were you gazing at my behind? Cease such scrutiny

A blush adorned her cheeks as she playfully threatened to pluck out his eyeballs.

“The lore suggests that ample derrieres are linked to fertility and intelligence in women,” Marcus jested,

his eyes alight with affection as he spoke.

Millie found herself taken aback. She hadn’t considered her posterior particularly ample. Yet Marcus‘

newfound facetiousness intrigued her. Engaging in their playful banter lifted her spirits, her fleeting

sadness supplanted by their lighthearted exchanges.

As her gaze remained fixed on him, her eyes shimmering with a watery radiance, he found himself

compelled to close the distance between them, their foreheads tenderly meeting.

“Would you consider gracing me with a child?”

Marcus’ inquiry was tender, a whisper amidst their private world. Enveloped by solitude, with his visage

framed before her, Millie’s Lips began to move. Gently rising on her tiptoes, she encircled his neck with

her arms and sealed her response with a kiss. Then, her eyes blinked open, and she uttered her

sentiment in a hushed tone.

“Yes, I would.”

Her adoration for babies was steadfast, their purity and innocence akin to celestial beings.

Furthermore, if she were to bring a child into the world with him, as Rylie had once suggested, their

offspring would undoubtedly possess exceptional qualities, a testament to the union of their love.
