Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Marcus pivoted, straightening his back to shield Millie’s view, and then raised his
right wrist to touch his sleeve.
In truth, he already knew beforehand that the button was missing.
The button didn’t disappear during their fall down the cliff. As a matter of fact,
before he ventured to the orchard to search for Millie, he noticed the button’s
absence.
Last night, after some contemplation, he surmised he might have left it in Millie's
room or on her bed. He had slept in his shirt that night.
Marcus scanned the surroundings but found no button on the floor. The bed was
now tidy, making it impossible to spot.
Observing Millie's vigilant expression, he deduced that she hadn't discovered the
button belonged to him.
Abandoning his search, Marcus declared, “Nothing. If you prefer not to walk
back, head downstairs and join us in the car.”
With that, he tumed on his heels and strode away. Frowning, Millie carefully
stowed the button into her handbag.
Upon her return, Millie made a beeline for the hospital, keen on visiting her
cherished grandmother.
As she entered the familiar yet cold hospital room, her voice, imbued with joy,
filled the space. “Grandma, I have a surprise for you. Your favorite oranges,” she
proclaimed.
That day, her grandmother was in a convivial mood, engaging in cheerful banter
with Teresa from the comfort of her hospital bed.
“Millie, come closer, my dear. Teresa is spot on. The scar on your face has truly
vanished,” her grandmother commented, coaxing Millie closer with a beckoning
gesture and observing her with gentle eyes.
“Miss Brown, I shared the news of your recovery with her,” Teresa chimed in, a
smile dancing on her lips. “Hearing it sparked such joy in her, I swear she looked
healthier.”
Her grandmother reached out to caress Millie’s face with her weathered hand,
her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
“I'm glad your face healed completely. It saves you from the harsh judgment of
others. The relief that it brings me is immense. The Thomas family is renowned
for its power and stern traditions. Should they mistreat you in any way, remember
that you are not alone. Come to me.”
Millie was moved. “Don’t worry, Grandma. Promise me you will live for a hundred
years.” She then peeled an orgage for the old lady. “Have a piece. I've tasted it.
It's sweet.”
