Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

She coughed, averting her eyes from Bruce's knowing gaze.
“I was just practicing calligraphy,” she stammered, quickly writing another word to
cover her tracks.
Bruce crossed his arms, not calling her out on the apparent lie.
Millie continued to write, intent on making her story about practicing calligraphy
seem believable.
Bruce shifted to get a better view of Millie's lovely face, then suddenly asked,
“Millie, what would you do if Marcus were to die one day?"

Millie's hand, holding the wooden branch, froze in place. Frowning, she turned to
look at Bruce, who spread his hands innocently. “I'm just imagining things, don’t
be alarmed.”
Millie's reaction was as Bruce expected, both nervous and angry. He had
touched a nerve with his teasing.
“You're being tedious,” Millie complained.
Bruce pressed on, his tone more somber.
“I'm not just spouting nonsense. Ever since Marcus took control of the Thomas
Group, he’s made many enemies. There are those who want him dead.”
Millie's grip on the branch tightened, but her reply was steadfast.
“He won't be in danger easily.”
Bruce shrugged, a smile playing on his lips. “You have great confidence in
Marcus.”
His laughter faded, and his eyes grew dark. Logically, Marcus should have
succumbed to the poison of the Bloody Herb and die.
“Millie...” Bruce began, but Millie, clearly irritated by the conversation’s direction,
cut him off.
“Anything else? Well, even if he is in danger, I can grant him a life, okay?”
Bruce was taken aback by Millie's incredible assertion.
“You can give him a life?”
“Yes, I have nine lives. I can spare one for him and still have eight left,” Millie
replied.
Bruce was left dumbfounded by her words. Her serious expression made it hard
to believe she was joking.
