Chapter: 19
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. ©
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. I 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.

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, I 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. The

Did that mean she would not get any food until she apologized?
