Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 175
Observing Millie's unlit room from outside, it appeared unlikely that she would
retire so early, considering it was merely eight o’clock in the evening.
Furthermore, she hadn’t been spotted in the area lately.
Intrigued by Marcus’ inquiry, Bruce's curiosity was stirred. It seemed that Marcus’
long-dormant heart was slowly thawing.
“So, you're searching for your wife, eh? Some individuals may deny it, but deep
down, their hearts have already been captivated by their wives. Well, Millie went
out for a stroll. She expressed a desire to behold the nocturnal scenery. Just give
her a moment; she'll likely return soon,” Bruce responded.
Each time he rambled on, Marcus’ gaze would shoot icy arrows in his direction,
sending a chill down Bruce's spine.
“She's in an unfamiliar place and yet she ventured out alone at night?” Marcus
grimaced.
“I'm not entirely certain whether she ventured out alone. You can inquire about it
yourself when she returns. As for me, I have an early morning meeting tomorrow,
so I'll retire upstairs to rest,” Bruce stated, purposefully leaving a cliffhanger
before making his exit.
Marcus settled into the bench, crossing his legs. Darkness descended,

During this period, he received two international phone calls. After concluding the
conversations, he stole a glance at his wristwatch, his countenance growing
stern.
Unbeknownst to him, it was already half-past eleven, and Millie had yet to return.
Tapping his knee with his fingers, Marcus pondered whether any danger had
befallen Millie during her nighttime stroll. Once he found her phone number, he
readied himself to call her.
“Mr. Thomas, I'm surprised you're still awake.” Patrick returned from outside,
passing by, and promptly noticing Marcus seated on the bench.
He was still donning his casual attire, looking quite fresh.
Marcus raised his gaze, pausing his efforts to contact Millie.
“T’ll head in first,” Patrick declared. “I've spent the evening with friends and
worked up a bit of a sweat. I think I'll retreat to my room for a moment to freshen
up.”
He then made his exit with a brisk stride. Clearly, he was in a good mood.
The comer of Marcus’ lips twitched. Patrick was out for a leisurely stroll as well?

Thereafter, Millie strode towards the hotel entrance, her gaze fixed ahead,
seemingly oblivious to Marcus’ proximity.
Marcus tightened his lips and inquired sternly, “Where have you been?”
