His stubbornness was perplexing. Was it truly necessary for her to concoct a
fabrication?
Observing Millie's icy gaze, Roland shifted uncomfortably.
“Don't be upset. I'm leaving. But trust me, he’s nowhere near as wealthy as I am.
Don't fall for him
As Roland sauntered away, downtrodden, Millie couldn't help but recall last
night's incident-the insect’s bite inflicted on Roland due to her. Her empathy
stirred, prompting her to set the record straight.
“Roland, hold on a moment.”
He halted with a glimmer of hope. Approaching him, Millie assumed a serious
demeanor.
“I haven't been dishonest with you. I truly am married. Please don't waste your
time pursuing me.”
Roland's initial joy faded swiftly, his expression clouding with evident
disappointment as Millie's words didn’t align with his expectations. However,
confronted with Millie's unwavering seriousness, he found it impossible to delude
himself any longer.
Millie's exquisite beauty and prestigious graduation from the top university in
Preagend naturally attracted a multitude of admirers, making her marriage
entirely reasonable and expected.
After a protracted silence, Roland finally spoke up.
“I apologize for my past actions towards you. I was rather foolish back then,”
Roland admitted with a hint of regret.
In truth, it wasn't until this moment that he recognized how his actions during that
time were fueled by an undeniable attraction to Millie’s unique personality. Amidst
his former role as a schoolyard bully, she stood apart from the rest. Her absence
of fear towards him piqued his curiosity, drawing his heightened attention towards
her.
Yet now, such comprehension arrived far too belatedly.
“It's alright. I've forgotten what happened in the past.” Millie smiled. Roland left,
feeling downcast.
Hans Ruiz, Roland's father observed the scene from a distance, his face
darkening. He deemed Millie ungrateful, failing to appreciate his son's affections.
After all, Roland hailed from a wealthy family in the town; it should have been an
honor for her to gain his attention.
What a shameless woman.
Millie had a mixed expression on her face as she walked towards Patrick. Seeing
her expression, Patrick smiled in return.
“If you're not a fan of these strawberries, feel free to share them with your
neighbors. I'll head back to my tasks,” Patrick said with a friendly smile.
“Sure, I'll give them to Joan. Thank you,” Millie replied gratefully. Millie thought
the strawberries would be perfect for Joan, who had a bad tooth and could easily
enjoy these soft fruits.
