“What transpired between you and Millie?”
Celeste squirmed under the scrutiny.
“She revealed the details to you? She truly excels at concocting tales.”
Marcus’ gaze lowered. Millie hadn't divulged a single word.
“She remained silent. She’s my wife. Spare her any future trouble. If you need
anything, just contact me.”
Celeste’s lips tightened. Observing Marcus’ concern for Millie, she couldn't help
but deem her cunning.
“Fine, she didn't speak, yet she incited suspicion and admonishment from you.
That's her cunning at play. Marcus, do you recall your initial disgust when she
married you? Why have you fallen for her now?”
Marcus’ brow furrowed. If he could turn back time, he would expunge the disgust
he initially harbored toward Millie.
Yet events had unfolded irreversibly. His only recourse was to cherish her moving
forward.
“Past misconceptions clouded my perception of her. After spending time together,
my understanding has evolved. I won't let her go.”
Celeste’s temper cooled, and she regarded her son with astonishment.
Simultaneously, her worry swelled—a nagging concern that the fortune teller's
words might indeed come to fruition.
The more fervently Marcus fell for Millie, the more ominous the disaster he might
encounter.
“You aren't seeing her clearly. Your judgment is clouded by obsession,” she
remarked.
Marcus’ face darkened at that.
Deciding to change the subject, Celeste inquired, “Do you plan on staying
outside indefinitely?”
Marcus’ response was indifferent.
“I've also spent time away from home before, and you've never inquired.”
