Nancy had delivered the design draft to Marcus’ house the previous night, receiving approval from the Fairclough family. They awaited her final draft, but now, with her hand injured by the chair, she could no longer work on it.

Millie noticed there was no condemnation in his eyes. Did he trust her?

“I overheard you say you didn’t mean to hit her. Who were you aiming at?” he probed, sensing that Millie wouldn’t brandish a chair without provocation.

His words warmed Millie’s heart.
