Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Marcus, momentarily distracted from his phone, asked with a serious tone,
“What's the matter?”
Millie turned to face Marcus, his figure enveloped in a brown windbreaker, a
picture of refined masculinity. Compared to the grotesque man they had painted,
Marcus was the epitome of elegance, which would stir envy in many.
A thought fluttered in Millie’s mind. If only it had been Marcus last night, it would
have been a different story.
No, Millie chided herself, her hand reaching up to slap her face lightly. What on
earth was she thinking?
“Mrs. Thomas, is something amiss?”
Some speculated that Millie was ensnared by some bewitchment, their gaze
shifting between her and Marcus.
Amidst the curious looks of the executives, Marcus addressed Millie
nonchalantly,
“You may enjoy your breakfast at the nearby table. We have a meeting here.”
As he finished speaking, Marcus accepted the laptop handed to him by Derek.
Indeed, they were done with their meal. Millie scanned the surroundings to find
that the entire restaurant had finished their breakfast.
Millie acquiesced; balancing her plate in one hand and her milk in the other, she
made her way to an empty seat nearby and quietly took her place.
As if on cue, as soon as Millie settled herself, Marcus emerged from his corner.
The sudden eclipse of her daylight told her she wasn't alone; she lifted her gaze
to find the source of her momentary shade.
“Is something bothering you?" Marcus’ voice thundered overhead.
Her thoughts tumbled like startled birds in the wake of his question.
Could he actually be worried for her? What twist of fate had led him to this point?
“Your outburst earlier, calling someone a “scoundrel,’ — was that a war cry against
an unseen adversary? Did someone provoke your wrath?” His voice betrayed a
trace of discomfort, though he endeavored to maintain a neutral tone.
