Marcus’ tone shifted from a light snicker to serious concern. He still worried about
Millie being with Bruce.
Understanding Marcus’ fear, Millie replied solemnly, “I'll protect myself.”
She thought Marcus was about to hang up, but he spoke softly.
“Always remember that I'd rather suffer ten times the pain myself than see you

Millie's optimism pained Marcus’ heart. This little woman was sometimes too

Before hanging up, Millie's voice grew anxious, “Honey, wait!”

blinked her long eyelashes, feeling a blush of shame at her first act of love.

can't lose to Millie.”
Having had her starry sky series chosen by the Fairclough family, she knew
perfection was the key to success.
Emerie tried to comfort her, pained to see her friend in such a state.
But Nancy's pale face was resolute, and Emerie dared not persuade her
otherwise.
“I've discovered that Millie has gone to the countryside,” Emerie informed.
