Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

She stared at the number on the screen and reluctantly hit the answer button.
Marcus’ voice was slightly raspy from the other end of the line as he asked, “Did
you call me last night? I didn’t hear it because I was asleep.”
Millie gripped the phone tightly and remained silent.
Asleep? What a ridiculous lie. Marcus was an extremely cautious person. Even if
he was asleep, there was no way he would not hear the phone ring.
“Millie?”
“Derek told me last night that you were on a business trip. I just wanted to know
which city you went to. I also wanted to ask you to bring some local specialties
home.”
Marcus felt his blood pounding hotly in his veins. He pressed his lips together
and looked at the IV drip in his hand. His temperature had not subsided at all.
“m in Braedenel right now. I'll have somebody go out and look for local
specialties.
T'll give them to you when I get home.” He had no choice but to lie to Millie again.
Millie's grip on the phone tightened even more, and her lips curved into a cold
smile. Marcus was lying to her.
Why would he lie to her, though? Was it because he betrayed her in some way
and felt terrible about it? Were men always so calm when they lied?
What happened between him and Rhea last night? Why did he not pick up the
phone when she called him? He was also acting strangely these days.
“Millie?” Marcus asked when Millie did not respond.
Millie's lips twitched, and she replied calmly, “I'm ending the call now. I have to go
to the hospital, and you must be busy since you're on a business trip.”
When she heard Marcus’ lies, she felt like her chest had been cut open.
It seemed that no man, not even Marcus, could be trusted in this world.
Marcus’ brows furrowed after Millie ended the call. There was something off with
the woman.
“Mr. Thomas, your fever hasn't gone down.”
