Rhea ran over with a handkerchief to clean it up, but by the time she got there, Marcus had already gotten to his feet and headed upstairs. ©ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He had to change his stained tie.
In the bedroom, Millie waited for quite some time, but no one brought her food.
With her stomach growling, she looked around for something to eat and came across a mere box of chrysanthemum tea. With a sigh, she accepted the fact that she would be hungry throughout the day.
She ripped open a chrysanthemum tea bag and started the brewing process. She had learned the art of tea brewing and was quite skilled at it. Soon, a cup of chrysanthemum was sitting in front of her, its aromatic scent permeating the room.
Millie grabbed it, closed her eyes, and chanted, “I’m not hungry. I’m not hungry. I’m not hungry. Oh, this tea smells good.” It was the scene that greeted Marcus when he opened the door. He clenched his hands into fists. Was this woman for real?
Marcus walked further into the room. Millie had a porcelain cup in front of her, and in it was tea that looked particularly pretty, thanks to the pale yellow petals floating on it.
He scoffed. “It seems like you really aren’t hungry.”
Millie, unwilling to concede defeat, stubbornly responded, “I never eat breakfast at home. | prefer drinking tea in the morning.” As she talked, Millie jutted out her chin, and Marcus’s attention was drawn to her sparkling eyes.
He was speechless for a moment. How could a vicious woman like her have such pretty eyes?
Immediately, his expression hardened as he came to his senses.
However, the memory of Millie holding the cup of tea and quietly commenting that it smelled good made him want to laugh.
Marcus hurried to the closet. The last thing he wanted right now was to laugh in front of the woman. Millie cast him a curious gaze as she wondered what was up with his behaviour.
Then, she rolled her eyes and grabbed a book to read.
After changing his tie, Marcus walked toward the door but then stopped.
“You'll only get food after you apologize. Also, from now on, | don’t want to hear any crude language from your mouth. If you do that again, I'll make you regret coming into this world,” he warned.
Did that mean she would not get any food until she apologized?
