Chapter 1337
Millie, during her time with Marcus, noted his lack of diverse hobbies. However, she did observe his acquisition of two lavish cars, both transported via air from overseas directly to their villa.
The sight was truly a wonder.
Marcus, on the other end of the call, pondered over Millie’s hesitant voice, wondering if she feared his reaction. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Are you injured?” he inquired, concern evident in his voice. Her safety was his sole concern.
“I’m unharmed. But the car’s front is ruined. I apologize,” said Millie, her voice filled with regret.

Marcus felt his heart rate increase.
“Millie, your excessive politeness might just irritate me,” he cautioned her.
His voice then took on a firmer tone.
“A car is just an object. How can it be more valuable than your well-being?”
Stunned by his stern words, Millie fell silent. She soon responded, her voice tinged with a sense of injustice.
“I’ve heard that cars are like a man’s second wife. I worried you’d be devastated to see the damage.”
Marcus now realized Millie’s misconception. Where she got such ludicrous ideas, he couldn’t fathom. To him, her safety always trumped any material possession.
What second wife? He dismissed the thought as ludicrous!
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Ignore those online myths. You’re my only treasure. Now, how did the accident happen?”
“I hit the front gate after I left the garage. I hadn’t even reached the road,” Millie confessed softly.
Hearing this, Marcus was taken aback. The paths within their property were broad and clear, yet Millie had collided with the gate.
He recalled the time she drove out in the dead of night to fetch him, filling him with gratitude that she remained unharmed.
“You’re free to choose any car, but you must wait for me to return and personally teach you how to drive,” Marcus offered.
Millie’s response was subdued.
“I won’t drive anymore.” Marcus was momentarily taken aback.
“Really? Are you that frightened? I promised to teach you, so there’s no need for fear.”
He wondered if his earlier sternness had intimidated her.
“We’ll decide later. I’ve just reached the office and need to get inside. I believe your groundbreaking event is starting soon, so proceed with your duties. I’m hanging up now.”
