Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 193
Returning the collective glare, Millie spun on her heels and fled. She returned to
the hotel, retrieved a basket, and then sprinted to the orchard. She began to pick
every orange in sight. Her eyes began to sting as she was overcome with a
sense of injustice.
She had no desire to return to this cursed place. Her luck here had been
abysmal; she had been targeted for assassination, lost her virtue, and was nearly
suffocated by that brute Marcus.
After collecting the oranges her grandmother wished to eat, she would make a
swift exit. Regardless of the distance, she was determined to return home, even
if she had to do it on foot.
“Marcus, are you so quickly willing to absolve Millie of her transgressions? She
nearly brought about my end.”
Rhea, with the corner of her lips caught between her teeth, collapsed into a fit of
tears. A torrent of disbelief surged within her as she registered Marcus’ readiness
to forgive Millie. It felt as though her actions and her sacrifices were meaningless
echoes in a vast void.
Marcus allowed his gaze to sweep briefly over Rhea. She was attempting to
bridge the space between them, but he deftly sidestepped her.
Rhea, realizing the futility of her efforts, ceased her approach and settled into a
contemplative stare at Marcus. His handsome features ensnared her heart at first
glance.
Yet, despite her persistent endeavors, she remained an unnoticed shadow in the
comers of Marcus’ vision.
“Marcus.”
Rhea voiced his name in a whisper, an attempt to snare his attention, but Marcus’
gaze remained icy and aloof.
“Did you not notice my near strangulation?”
“Okay. Are you now accusing me of instigating this? I understand. She is your
wife and your confidante. If 1 maintain my distance, she will not harm me, and I
will cease to vex you.”
Rhea was at a loss for why Marcus responded to her with such cold disdain. Her
hands trembled, the aftershock of his increasingly bitter demeanor towards her.
“Return to your quarters and attire yourself anew,” Marcus instructed, his tone
curt.
Marcus had truly let Millie go, Rhea contemplated, a realization bitter and
sorrowful like swallowing a pill of anguish.
“Very well.”
As Rhea departed, Derek addressed Marcus with grave concern.
