Chapter 212
You mentioned her obstinacy. She must've uttered something to incense you.” Marcus remained impassive, dismissing Bruce, saying, “You may take your leave now. My affairs are mine alone to handle.”
“you cannot banish me thus. As a man, you must not let a petty argument with a woman ruffle your feathers. She is, after all, a greenhorn, fresh out of university.
She’s bound to falter in her behavior. As her husband, you should show more patience.”
“She just graduated from university?”
Derek confirmed, “Indeed, Mr. Thomas. She only graduated this year.”
The revelation left Marcus stupefied. The idea that Millie was a recent graduate had never crossed his mind. “Let me enlighten you. Girls her age are prone to faux pas and temper tantrums.
Unlike us seasoned veterans, they struggle to discern the appropriate from the inappropriate. As her husband, you mustn't take umbrage at her gaffes. Instead, you should guide her.”
Marcus’ brow creased in confusion. According to Bruce, he was the one at fault. He had failed to teach Millie. The concept seemed ludicrous.
The situation seemed quite peculiar.
Marcus stubbed out his cigarette. Mulling over Bruce’s advice, he reached for his coffee and took a sip. The brew wasn’t as distasteful as he thought at this point.
Setting his coffee aside, Marcus rose, glanced at the harsh weather outside, and exited the study. It seemed Marcus was genuinely convinced. With a sigh, Bruce quickly trailed after him.
Upon reaching the entrance, Marcus surveyed the vicinity but found no sign of Millie. He shot a cold, questioning look at Gemma standing nearby.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Where has she gone? Wasn’t her punishment to stand outdoors?”
Bruce, now by their side, peered out and also found it curious that Millie was missing,
Gemma bowed his head and responded, “The rain was too intense, and Madam couldn't withstand it, so she departed.” Just moments earlier.
Gemma had surreptitiously ventured out to check on Millie.
“Madam, are you okay?”
Exiled with no shelter in the torrential downpour, Millie had sought refuge beneath a large tree. But even the tree offered little protection, and she was drenched through and through.
