Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Millie quickly added, “He's finished up his work and has come to visit you.”
“That's wonderful!” Grandma exclaimed. The sight of the striking young man
standing alongside her beautiful granddaughter seemed to her a perfect pairing.
“sit down, please. Let me pour you some tea.” The old woman's voice was
jubilant, and she even got out of bed to attend to Marcus.
“Grandma, don't trouble yourself. I'll take care of it.” Millie hurriedly stopped her
grandmother.
“Just let me make a cup of tea for Mr. Thomas, Millie. I can’t do much else at the
moment. If I were at home, I would have cooked you both a hearty meal.”
Millie was moved by this. “That's alright. When you're better, we can cook
together and make a feast.”
“You don’t need to go to any trouble. It's my pleasure to visit you,” Marcus
chimed in.
At his words, Grandma eased back onto her bed.
As Millie moved to pour water into the teacups, she glanced back at Marcus and
gestured with a pout.
“Take a seat. Don't just stand there, or Grandma will start feeling guilty again,”
she remarked.
With a slight frown, Marcus complied and sat down on a chair.
All the while, Grandma had been scrutinizing Marcus intently. She was fond of his
apparent integrity. She had always feared Millie falling for a deceitful man, but
Marcus had made a good impression on her.
“Mr. Thomas, although Millie lost her mother at an early age, she is hardworking
and has a heart of gold. She's always been sensible, always willing to bear
hardships without complaint, and has never caused me worry. She's also diligent
in her studies. I'm a simple woman, I've always earned my keep by growing and
selling vegetables. Millie has never been embarrassed about it. She always
helped me after school,” the old woman stated.
Millie blushed and felt the urge to interject. Why was her grandma sharing all
these intimate details with Marcus?
He probably wouldn't care about these things. Grandma must be hoping that by
sharing these stories, Marcus would see what a good girl Millie was and cherish
her.
But it was pointless. He had already labeled her as cruel.
