Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“If you hadn't shown up today, I was planning to tell you after I got back from the
supermarket. Look, I'm telling you everything now, aren't 1?” Millie's words carried
a mixture of both assurance and a hint of vulnerability.
Millie's pleading gaze met Marcus’, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. In that
instant, Marcus’ heart clenched, his anger dissipating, replaced by a pang of
remorse.
She was already frightened, and he had exacerbated it. He realized his behavior
had been callous and unkind.
“This won't happen again. If you ever encounter danger, you must inform me
first.”
“Alright.”
She had managed to assuage his anger. Millie's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
However, she resolved to address this issue in the future. Trust is paramount in a
marriage.
Stepping out into the courtyard, Millie's gaze landed on the orange tree, its
boughs heavy with ripened fruit-each orange now tinged with hues of vibrant red,
Observing Marcus emerge, still harboring a cold and distant expression,
Millie shelved her plan to retrieve a ladder for picking the oranges.
“Honey, could you help me? The oranges are too high for me to reach
With a brisk stride, Marcus closed the distance, a playful smirk dancing across
his lips.
“How would you like me to help? Should I hoist you onto my shoulders or carry
you on my back?”
Marcus’ comment triggered an immediate flashback for Millie-a memory of their
wedding photoshoot. She had been irked, adamantly refusing to participate, and
had insisted on perching on his shoulders instead.
Millie's intuition proved correct. When Marcus was upset, he seemed to soften
when presented with a request from her, occasionally even embracing the
chance to display a touch of pride.
His actions were sincere, devoid of pretense, With a subtle, graceful bend,
Marcus effortlessly hoisted Millie onto his shoulder, showcasing his underlying
strength.
Millie's feet left the ground abruptly and were lifted to a level that allowed her to
pluck the oranges that had been out of her reach moments ago.
A mere ten minutes later, her task was completed, and she addressed Marcus,
who had executed the role of her human stepladder.
“Alright, you can put me down now.”
