Chapter 1378
“You’re not a stranger, but you’re a libertine,” Millie shot back.
Furrowing his brow, Marcus gently pulled Millie back down as she attempted to sit up. His hand threaded through her tousled locks, and he captured her lips with his own.
Branded as a libertine, he couldn’t just remain idle, could he?
“Hey… What’s happening? Won’t you let me get up? What time is it?” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Millie playfully evaded his advances.
Seeing her reluctance, Marcus leisurely released her, a self-assured grin gracing his lips.
“Will you continue to label me a libertine in the future?”
Millie grumbled inwardly, convinced that he truly was one, yet forbidden from acknowledging it aloud.
Observing her dissatisfied pout, Marcus playfully patted her behind.
“Alright, go and fetch the doctor for my morning examination.”
Millie cast a glance at the wall clock and mumbled, “Morning examination at this hour? Don’t you realize the time? It’s already past ten.”
Arching an eyebrow, Marcus responded, “That’s a matter for you to clarify. The doctors arrived promptly at half past nine for the morning examination, but you were soundly asleep on top of me.
Despite my efforts to rouse you, you remained in a deep slumber. The doctors waited briefly, but since you couldn’t be awakened, they had to go to the next ward.”
Millie was rendered speechless. Could that be accurate? It seemed implausible, right?
She suspected that Marcus was attempting to deceive her.
“Don’t deceive me. I can’t sleep that soundly. I’m a light sleeper.
How could I remain oblivious no matter how much you attempted to wake me?” Millie refuted. She found it difficult to accept.
Marcus admired her ability to argue, yet the facts spoke for themselves.
“Go and call the doctors. They can confirm it,” he suggested.
Approaching the door, Millie remained skeptical, but since Marcus had asserted as much, she had no choice but to summon the doctors.
