Marcus felt grateful that he'd arrived just in time to intervene.
At the sound of Millie’s voice, Marcus’ steadfast profile subtly shifted, his eyes
softening.
“I wanted to surprise you,” he explained.
In response, Millie instinctively lifted the corners of her lips. She recognized that
his schedule was typically demanding, making his presence here a genuine
effort.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
At times, Millie couldn't shake the sense that everything unfolded with uncanny
synchronicity. During their previous encounter at Snow Mountain Villa, Laurel
ridiculed her with acerbic remarks. Laurel's mockery stemmed from Humphrey's
lavish gift to Nancy-a precious bracelet. The barbs insinuated that Marcus didn’t
hold the same affection for Millie.
Yet, by a twist of fate, Marcus had bestowed upon Millie an invaluable hairpin.

features-the elegantly arched nose, the tender curve of her lips. involuntarily, he
cleared his throat and leaned in, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
