Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 187
Once seated, though tardy, Millie found her appetite missing. An unbearable
weight clung to her heart.
Apart from Marcus, the others at the table were the company’s brass, the power
holders. As Millie occupied her seat, their expressions morphed into inquisitive
masks.
Marcus, unfazed, picked up his milk glass, leaned back leisurely, and cast a
sideways glance at Millie.
He remembered how he had slipped back into his room at the crack of dawn,
guilt gnawing at his conscience as he stole a glance at Millie's flushed, peaceful
countenance in slumber.
His initial intention was merely to find solace in Millie's bed, troubled by sleepless
nights. But seeing her sleep so peacefully, his heart faltered, succumbing to the
temptation of staying longer.
He had intended to recline upon the bed, simply to acquaint himself with its
touch, before promptly departing. However, little did he anticipate that he would
find himself on the cusp of slumber, lingering in the embrace of sleep until the
break of dawn.
If Millie knew that he slept in her bed last night, she would be furious.
Although Marcus never doubted his allure, he had an uncanny feeling that if
Millie were to discover his nocturnal intrusion, her reaction would not mirror the
delight of a woman who had won a fortune.
As Millie listlessly forked a piece of bread and chewed, she allowed her palm to
prop up her cheek, her mind lost in thought.
She was wondering who that man last night was. Such a scoundrel.
She recalled Marcus being in her room before she retired for the night and
surreptitiously shot him a sidelong glance. Could he be the man?
What if he had unlatched the window in the morning?
Marcus, in the meantime, was engrossed in dissecting his steak, the profile of his
face radiating authority. No signs of deviation were evident.
Marcus met her gaze as he casually lifted his eyes; the timing was so precise
they almost locked eyes, but Millie managed to avert her gaze swiftly.
She yearned to seize Derek, who stood diligently by her side, and interrogate him
about Marcus’ whereabouts last night.
“Mrs. Thomas, you seem under the weather. Shall I escort you to the hospital?”
Noticing her preoccupied demeanor, Derek interjected preemptively.
