Millie cast her gaze down, torn between the two. Their relationship seemed to be
growing more strained.
Marcus exuded an icy and aloof demeanor, while Bruce ventured forth with
cautious steps.
“Starting now, it would be wise for you to maintain a certain distance from him as
well.” The resonance of Marcus’ words lingered within Millie’s thoughts.
At the time, she hadn't paid much heed to it, not delving into its meaning.
Yet now, it seemed Marcus had been quite serious.
“Marcus, I bought this wine specially for you.”
Marcus’ refusal was evident, yet Bruce's hand remained extended in an
unyielding gesture. Despite the faint flush of embarrassment coloring his
features, he pressed on.
A hint of frigidity etched itself onto Marcus’ lips as he turned to Bruce.
“Kindly reclaim it and indulge yourself; I'm well-stocked with wine.”
The air grew taut, and Millie pressed her lips together. Bruce appeared weighed
down by something beneath his surface.
Bruce's countenance became increasingly abashed. He cast a sidelong glance at
Millie, then diverted his gaze, a faint, awkward smile gracing his lips.
“In that case, I'll head back.”

Marcus offered no further explanation, and Millie refrained from delving deeper. If
he desired to share his thoughts, she understood that words weren't necessary.
After disembarking and settling into the car, Bruce nervously turned the wine
bottle in his grasp. A heaviness clung to his heart. With a resounding “crash,’ he
hurled the exquisite bottle to the floor, staining the floor with its crimson contents.
