Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Patrick nodded and proposed, “How about we grab a bite to eat? I'll drive you
back afterward.”
Millie declined, shaking her head. “I'm not hungry. I should head back.”
Avoiding proximity was essential; she could sense Patrick's growing concem for
her.
Yet, the moment Millie declared her lack of appetite, her stomach emitted an
unexpected growl, abruptly plunging the atmosphere into an awkward tension.
During her earlier time at the hospital, gazing at her frail grandmother, Millie’s
heart had been flooded with compassion, rendering her appetite nonexistent.
Teresa's attempts to provide a meal had been met with a mere two bites before
Millie relinquished the food.
After emerging from the hospital environment, her stomach inexplicably chose
this inopportune moment to growl with a rumble.
Patrick grinned, extending the invitation once more.
“Come on, a meal won't take long. We finally crossed paths today. Who knows
when. we'll have the chance to meet again?”
In the past, he'd regarded most girls as bothersome and artificial. He now
recognized that his previous disdain stemmed from the fact that he hadn't
encountered someone he truly admired.
Earlier in the day, a woman approached him, claiming to be a friend of Millie's.
She asserted that Millie’s existence within the Thomas family was one of torment
and oppression. Her status was akin to that of a lowly maid rather than Marcus’
wife.
Atrifecta of challenges plagued her existence: an unsupportive mother-in-law, an
indifferent husband, and the demanding care her ailing grandmother required.
Though skepticism clouded his interpretation of the girl's narrative, an
inexplicable unease lingered within him. A nagging sense of doubt prevailed, and
he found himself pondering her underlying intentions.
Patrick's response was nonchalant.
“That's not my concern. Millie and I are unrelated. You've approached the wrong
person.”
The woman then confessed, “Let it go. If you wish to locate her, she’s at this
hospital. Her grandmother is critically ill and confined here. Millie dedicates much
of her time to her care.”
