As Millie emerged from the kitchen, she encountered Marcus engrossed in a phone conversation, his

âIâm already home. Kaya unexpectedly surfaced in my car tonight. She shouldnât have been privy to my
whereabouts. Investigate this matter.â
Though Millie had intended to retire for the night, her hunger compelled her to craft a pot of porridge in
the kitchen.
Upon Marcusâ arrival in the dining area, Millie had already embarked on her meal.
Observing the delectable porridge and Millie herself, Marcus was genuinely impressed. She had
managed to elevate such a simple dish to such heights.
âArenât you making mine?â Marcus quirked an eyebrow.
Millie raised her gaze to meet his abdomen. âHavenât you had enough dining out?â
An undercurrent of resentment tinged Millieâs words.
Aware that Millieâs discomfort stemmed from Kayaâs presence, Marcus knew he had erred.
This encounter elucidated the intensity of a womanâs jealousy.
âIâm not satisfied yet. I crave a bit of porridge.â Marcus seated himself, helping himself to a bowl without
heeding Millieâs disgruntled expression.
Millie responded with an eye roll.
As their dinner drew to a close and they stood ready to ascend the stairs, a resonant chime of the
doorbell sounded, interrupting their tranquil evening.
Without hesitation, Marcus moved towards the doorâs beckoning call, and there, standing on the
threshold, was Nancy, her lips curled in a welcoming smile.
âMr. Thomas, I apologize for intruding at this late hour,â Nancy began, her eyes wandering briefly
before landing on Millie, who lingered just behind Marcus.
Within Nancyâs gaze, a hint of inscrutable emotion seemed to flicker, and Millie, ever astute, caught that
fleeting glimpse.
âAt this hour, what brings you?â Millie inquired, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Instinctively, Marcusâ brow furrowed slightly, and his thoughts were momentarily disrupted.
From her bag, Nancy produced a design draft with a sense of urgency.
âTruth be told, I had just wrapped up an extended bout of work. There was no time to falter in crafting
the jewelry for the impending union of the Fairclough and Lawrence families. Today, I sketched out the
preliminary design quickly. Mr. Thomas, would it be possible to engage in a conversation indoors?â
