Chapter 459

Chapter 459:
Millie only smiled. She let out a quiet sigh and placed the carving back in his hand.
“What would I do with your life? Keep it.”
She didn’t want to get caught up in tangled feelings again. One Brandon had been enough.
Egbert looked like he wanted to speak, but a shadow fell over them.
It was Myron.
He smiled at Egbert and then turned to Millie.
“You two have been talking for a while. Thought I’d come over,” he said.
“Who do you think you are to—” Egbert’s tone was sharp at first, but then he stopped when he turned and saw the newcomer. He studied Myron’s face. “It’s you?” His eyes moved between the two of them, confused.
Myron didn’t answer. He took Millie’s hand and gently pushed Egbert’s away, the fox still in it. “Look,” Myron said. “If she doesn’t want it, don’t force it. That’s just disrespectful.”
His voice stayed calm, but the message was clear.
Egbert’s face darkened. He looked like he had more to say, but Myron was already holding Millie’s hand.
“Let’s go,” Myron said. “Isn’t Ari’s class about to finish? It’s time to pick her up.” Egbert’s gaze dropped to their joined hands.
Millie fought the urge to laugh and gave a small nod. “You’re right,” she said before turning to Egbert. “Enjoy your time back home.”
“You two—” Egbert began, but they were already walking away. He stood there, unsure of what had just happened.
In the car, Millie fastened her seatbelt. “You know him?” she asked.
“We’ve met through business,” Myron said as he started the engine.

The drive was quiet and smooth. Soon, they reached Ari’s school. Millie was unbuckling her seatbelt when Myron spoke.
“We said we’d meet twelve times, just the two of us,” he reminded her. “Let’s start the day after tomorrow. What do you think?”
A flicker of unease passed through him. She had just finalized her divorce, and already others were circling. He didn’t want to fall behind.
Millie was surprised but remembered her promise. After thinking it over, she smiled. “Alright.”
At Watson Group, Brandon looked grim. Eugene had just called a doctor to treat the bruises on his face. Phone calls kept coming in from abroad. Shareholders were demanding answers.
Reporters had already gathered outside the building. Online, rumors were spreading fast.
“Mr. Watson,” Eugene said carefully, “everyone’s asking when the press conference will begin. They’re waiting for a statement.”
If it wasn’t an emergency, he wouldn’t have risked souring Brandon’s mood further.
Brandon stayed silent, his eyes shut. All he could see was Millie. That distant expression on her face. That easy warmth she shared with Egbert. The jealousy burned. For more chapters visit ⓝovelFind.net
