Chapter: 58
Slowly, Marcus’s hand moved towards Millie’s mask. Before taking it off, he paused for a moment to prepare himself mentally. He had to see her face for himself. She was his wife after all.
As soon as his hand touched her mask, she suddenly raised her head, wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed his lips. Marcus's eyes went wide open in shock. Even through her thin mask, he could still feel the warmth and softness of her lips.
The kiss didn’t last more than two seconds before she fell back to his lap and blinked several times, gazing at the handsome face above her.
She was still very unconscious, unaware of the fact that she just kissed him.
From the driver’s seat, Ethan saw what happened through the rearview mirror. He was so shocked that he couldn’t look away for a moment.
Then, he came to and looked at the road ahead of him, pretending not to have seen a thing.
The next morning, Millie woke up feeling a little lightheaded. As she sat up, the blanket slipped off her body. Then, she realized something was not right. She was not lying on the sofa but rather on a huge, comfy bed.
Additionally, there was a blanket on the sofa, indicating that it had been used as a bed. Millie's eyes widened when she realized that Marcus must have slept on it.
Seriously, what happened last night? With her mind whirling with questions, she grabbed her phone to see that Grace had sent her a message.
“Millie, have you woken up? Does your head hurt? Anyway, | want to thank you for what you did last night. You were really brave. In the future, | promise to protect you, too, if you get into trouble.”
Millie massaged her temples before typing a response. “How did | go home last night?” “You don’t remember? You don’t know that Marcus carried you to his car?”
Millie rubbed her eyes, convinced that she had read the message incorrectly.
“Did you just say that Marcus carried me to his car last night? Are you sure? Maybe you were seeing things,” Millie replied.
“Yes, I’m sure. | saw him carry you to his car with my own eyes. Your husband is amazing, Millie. | think he’s a decent person. You might have rescued me yesterday, but without his assistance, you would’ve been in a very precarious position.”
Still confused about why Marcus had carried her to the car the night before, Millie shook her head. From what she knew of him, she was sure he would leave her in that room while she was unconscious.
At first, she did not know what he was thinking or why he did what he did. Then, she realized that his actions might have been motivated by his need to save face in front of others and her own inebriation.
After thinking about it for a while, Millie concluded that what he did was the best choice for both of them.
Millie ended her conversation with Grace, then went to have breakfast. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
