Chapter 26
Chapter: 26
It was not until then that Marcus realized his grandmother’s birthday was coming
up and that everyone in the family was expected to be at her party.
After resting for a while, he headed to the bedroom on the second floor. When he
pushed the door open, he was greeted by total darkness.
With a flick of his wrist, he switched on the light.
The enormous gray bed had a bulge in the middle, indicating that someone was
lying on it.
As Marcus walked up to the bed, he could hear Millie's soft breathing. The
woman. had fallen asleep, finally content after the satisfying meal she'd had.
Marcus did not know that, though, and he could not help but wonder if she had
really gone all day without eating. He then noticed a loss of volume in the
exposed areas of Millie's cheeks.
However, he still found it hard to believe that a vicious woman like Millie would
willingly starve herself.
Additionally, Bruce had been there. He would not have left if he had not gotten
what he wanted.
Marcus gently drew back the comforter covering her. Millie’s pajamas were loose,
so it was hard to determine if her stomach was full or not. Slowly, he raised his
hand to feel it.
His hand was only a couple of centimetres away from her stomach when Millie
suddenly swatted it away and grumbled, “How dare you touch me, you bastard?
I'll Kill you.”
Marcus withdrew his hand and discovered a red mark on the back of his hand.
Was the woman only pretending to be asleep? It was impossible for her to be
asleep and still be able to speak with such clarity.
However, Millie reached groggily for the comforter, wrapped herself in it, and
resumed her sleep, giving no indication that she was faking it.
Marcus's furrowed brow relaxed slightly. It seemed that she was just babbling in
her sleep. Why did she sound like she was cursing at him, though?
He did not get to feel her stomach, but it appeared to be flat. With a stern
expression on his face, Marcus left the room and summoned a servant.
“Did she eat today?”
The servant hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Marcus’s probing look.
“No, she didn’t. We didn’t dare give her any food without your permission.”
Marcus looked at the servant suspiciously, trying to determine whether or not she
was telling the truth.
