Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

In truth, Marcus was most averse to Millie witnessing the extent of his agony—
the sensation of being incapacitated by pain, reduced to helplessness.
This pain was venomous, akin to serpents and scorpions relentlessly rending at
his wound. Despite his robust endurance and considerable vitality, he struggled
to remain composed when the agony surged.
Marcus’ eyes flickered with contemplation. Rising to his feet, he approached the
bookshelf and extracted a rectangular container. Revealing its contents, he
disclosed a transparent vial housing a concoction.
“Have you readied the specialties I requested?” Marcus inquired. “Everything has
been prepared,” Derek affirmed.
Observing the container’s contents, Derek gleaned Marcus’ intention.
Marcus intended to briefly quell the pain with this unique elixir. However, it
wouldn't effect a permanent remedy. It would merely offer transient respite,
masking the severity of the wound for a limited duration while postponing the
requisite treatment.
Derek yeamed to convince Marcus otherwise, but he recognized the futility of his
efforts; Marcus wouldn't be swayed.
Meanwhile, Millie returned home bearing groceries. Upon entering her
apartment, she beheld the scene before her, her eyes doubting their perception.
Marcus and Derek were present.
The individuals she had exerted herself to catch up with now stood before her,
their sudden appearance confounding.
Millie lingered in the doorway, momentarily stunned. Marcus approached, softly
addressing her, “Millie, I've returned.”
Millie blinked, confirming the reality before her. However, despite the authenticity
of the scene, she wasn't exactly overjoyed.
Issuing a faint Hmm, she moved past Marcus and positioned the groceries on the
table.
Derek hesitated momentarily, then gestured towards several sizable bags of
walnuts in the living room, directing praise towards Marcus.
“Mrs. Thomas, these are the regional delicacies you requested: Braedenel
walnuts.
Mr. Thomas personally selected them.”
Millie glanced at the bags of walnuts, her expression growing even chillier. Was
this a show? Did they genuinely recall her specific request?
Derek eyed Marcus. Millie was genuinely displeased. How should they navigate
this situation?
Furrowing his brow slightly, Marcus waved his hand, indicating that Derek should
leave.
