Burning Passion: Love Never Die

She shook her head, firm in her decision. “No need, we'll take the bus ourselves.”
As she reached to open the car door and help her grandmother out, Bruce swiftly
intervened.
“Don't, Millie. I've already spoken to your grandma. I'm giving you both a ride
back to the village. Grandma said she'd gift me some local products. Grandma,
I'm correct, aren't I? You promised to give me some local products. You can't go
back on your word now.”
Bruce flashed a knowing wink at her grandmother.
This left Millie's grandmother in a rather awkward spot. Realizing that Bruce was
Millie's younger cousin-in-law, she didn’t want to appear rude, yet found it hard to
resist his endearing address as “Grandma.”
Aware that they were on their way back to the village, Bruce was insistent on
chauffeuring them.

Her grandmother’s voice trailed off, caught in uncertainty. She had indeed
promised to provide Bruce with some local products after he had so eloquently
persuaded her. Her eyes shifted between Bruce and Millie, clearly torn.
“Millie, get in the car. It's safer to have a dedicated ride for Grandma, especially
since she’s just been discharged from the hospital. We shouldn't stress her
further.”
Millie hesitated for a brief moment. “I'll call Marcus and let him know. We haven't
informed him yet that we're going back to the village.”
Bruce nodded understandingly. “Sure, go ahead and make the call. Just let him
know you're with me.”
To the best of his knowledge, Marcus was currently tied up in a meeting, and his
phone was turned off.
As anticipated, Millie was unable to reach Marcus on the phone.
After ending the unsuccessful call, Millie’s brow furrowed in contemplation before
she reluctantly climbed into the car. Bruce hadn't interfered with her attempt to
call Marcus. If he harbored any hidden agenda, he certainly wouldn't have
allowed her to contact Marcus.
As the car glided smoothly down the road, Bruce's eyes flicked to the rearview
mirror, contemplative.
It was clear that Marcus had already cautioned Millie to keep her distance from
him.
Millie’s earlier hesitation hadn't been lost on Bruce; she wasn’t concerned about
imposing on him, but rather, she seemed to be on her guard against him.
After a stretch of silence, Bruce initiated a conversation.
“Grandma, what kind of local products do you have?”
