“I came to invite you for a meal. I closed up shop early upon hearing your
husband's arrival and prepared a feast for you both.”
Millie attempted to politely decline, not wanting to impose on Joan's generosity.
“Don't worry about that. Think of me as family. It's the first time your husband has
visited the countryside. Since your grandma isn't here, it's my duty to extend
hospitality. Let's go.”
With a conspiratorial tone, Joan cast a glance at Marcus, who was occupied with
selecting oranges in the yard.
“He's quite the looker, isn’t he? You've got good taste. We've never seen such a
dashing man in our small town before.”
Taking the compliment in stride, Millie directed Marcus’ attention to Joan's
invitation, and he obliged.
The evening unfolded with a delicious meal at Joan's home, complete with her
renowned bread and an assortment of delectable dishes.
Following the dinner, Millie even took the initiative to assist Joan with washing the
dishes before departing with Marcus.

Since the sun had not yet set, Millie seized the opportunity to give Marcus a brief
tour of the area.
“Joan is my grandma's closest friend in town. She’s always been kind to me
Marcus acknowledged her with a silent nod, attentive to Millie's anecdotes.
“Did you enjoy the bread? Joan has been making them for decades. Whenever I
passed by her stall during my school days, she'd always treat me to one. She's
truly a generous soul.”
A smile played across Marcus’ lips.
“They were delicious.”
He recalled that Millie had mentioned her meal at Joan's place during their phone
call the previous night, so he had intentionally savored the same bread today.
As they strolled past a grocery store, Millie made a quick decision.
“I'LL just grab some water from the store. Wait here for a moment.” Positioned at
the roadside, Marcus waited patiently. Passersby couldn't help but steal glances
at him, mesmerized by his striking presence. Exiting the store with her purchase,
Millie unexpectedly crossed paths with Roland, who appeared to be on a similar
errand.
Roland's gaze naturally turned towards Marcus, standing on the sidewalk. There
was no doubt-he was Millie's husband. Tall and robust, his magnetic charm was
evident even in a casual stance.
Rumors had swirled that the watch on Marcus’ wrist was worth over a million
dollars. Roland had never encountered such opulence in their small town.
