Chapter: 84 Millie froze as she recognized that voice. It was Marcus.
“The baby is healthy. It’s been kicking a lot recently. | understand that his father can’t be with him right now. In the meantime, I'll take good care of the baby.”
Millie hoped this was all a big misunderstanding. She took a few steps forward and saw a slightly chubby woman wearing a bright red dress with wavy curls trailing behind her back.
Millie wasn’t one to eavesdrop on conversations. So, she deliberately made her footsteps heavier and walked onto the balcony. Both Marcus and the woman tumed to look at who joined them.
Millie stood a distance away from them, her gaze darting between the two of them in confusion. Judging from her bulging belly, the woman must be several months pregnant.
The woman was equally looking at Millie, but unlike Millie, her eyes were full of surprise. She wiped the teardrops at the corner of her eyes and gave Marcus a small smile.
“I'd better leave now,” she said and walked past Millie, her eyes down the whole time. Millie looked at the woman's receding back, then looked back at Marcus with a quirked eyebrow.
She needed to understand what the hell that was all about.
She just heard Marcus tell a pregnant woman to make sure nothing happened to the baby she was carrying. Was the baby Marcus’? She hoped not.
“What brings you this way?” Marcus asked casually. He certainly had no intention of clarifying anything to her.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Clearly, | should have stayed right where | was. If your mother hadn’t been so kind as to ask me to bring you wine, | wouldn’t have been a witness to this lovely scene.”
Millie wondered who actually sent her here to listen to this. Was it Celeste or Rhea?
It had to be Rhea. She must have known what was going on.
So, she sent Millie here, probably to punish her with the knowledge of it.
Marcus ignored the look on Millie’s face and reached out to take the wine from her hand. Millie glared at him and moved back with her hand.
“What's going on with that woman? Is the baby she’s carrying yours?” Millie went straight to the point instead of torturing herself with questions.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and forcefully took the glass out of her hand. Millie obviously thought the child was his. “Did you overhear our conversation?” he asked instead, inadvertently admitting what Millie already suspected.
She felt like she had been shot in the head. This couldn’t be happening to her. Her husband of only a few days had a woman that was several months pregnant already. ©
