Milly was taken aback.

She had no clue she would end up at the temple today, let alone needing to pray to Buddha and seek guidance. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have come.

Milly couldn’t handle these two old men anymore.

Shouldn’t they become more mature with age? Why are they acting like children, comparing everything and arguing about everything? Isn’t that exhausting?

She had a headache.
