Chapter 585
Chapter 585:
Within the city’s elite circles, Vivian stayed in the spotlight, hyping up her debut luxury floral showcase through a livestream event at an elegant villa. For maximum impact, she timed her livestream to clash with the launch of Elliott Group’s newest series, turning the day into a silent rivalry.
Darden had lent his villa to Vivian for her project, as Brandon had asked. However, Vivian frowned at the option. It just didn’t have the wow factor she wanted. The opening needed to dazzle, so finding the perfect venue became her obsession.
A glint of mischief flickered in her gaze.
At the same time, Millie threw herself into final preparations for the Elliott Group’s upcoming event. This latest collection focused on brilliant yellow gemstones, aptly named the Golden series.
In recent weeks, Millie had juggled work and Ari’s care, grateful for Myron’s unwavering support. With so much time spent together, a quiet bond had formed between them. Once they dropped Ari off that evening, Millie and Myron wandered through familiar streets side by side.
Night after night, they’d found comfort in this same walk, letting routine knit them closer. Their fingers intertwined, and the two watched their shadows stretch and merge beneath the moon’s soft glow.
Conversation flowed easily, and soon, the talk circled back to the product launch and everything that could go wrong.
When the walk ended, Myron made sure Millie reached her door safely. Standing at her doorstep, he remarked gently, “The launch is almost here, Millie. Vivian’s not the type to back down. Just promise you’ll stay alert.”
Without hesitation, Millie gave a nod of agreement.
She had barely stepped inside when Myron interjected with a soft laugh, “Hold on, Millie. Don’t go in just yet.”
“What?” Confusion flashed across Millie’s face as she glanced up.
Before she could say another word, Myron swept in, wrapped an arm around her, gently held her cheek, and pressed a kiss to her lips.
Myron grinned and said, “That’s your goodnight kiss.”
Millie’s cheeks turned pink as she playfully tapped his shoulder. She laughed, unable to help herself.
He smiled even wider. “Now I can wish you a real good night.”
“You too, Myron.” She slipped inside, the smile still on her face as she closed the door.
Myron stood there, smiling, charmed by her bashful look.
Inside, Millie leaned against the cool wood, fingers brushing her lips. Her heart hammered, and her blush deepened as she replayed the kiss in her mind. Not far away, the darkness of a neighboring building concealed a silent observer.
Hidden in shadow, Brandon caught a glimpse of their kiss before he looked away, unable to bear another second.
He realized his hands were shaking as he walked back to his room. Resting in his drawer, the wedding ring he had once put on Millie’s finger now waited in the dark.
