Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 712

Marcus’ lips compressed, lending him the semblance of a perplexed child.

Millie’s countenance was pallid with indignation, her lips curving in a trace of irritation.

Words appeared to have lost their efficacy. Millie strode past Marcus, heading towards the bedroom.

Initially, Marcus had intended for Millie to regain her composure. However, as his gaze flitted towardsthe bedroom, he observed her hauling a suitcase. One by one, she meticulously deposited hisbelongings within it.

Apprehension seemed to flicker within Marcus’ eyes, propelling him forward.

“What’s your intention?”

Millie sniffed.

“you don’t belong to this humble place. Go back to your villa.”

She wanted to put her trust in him, but she knew Marcus was not like her grandfather, who had nointerest in anyone but his grandmother. Marcus was a nobleman with far too much wealth. Whether itwas career, food, or women, he could have it all.

“Millie, are you seriously going to drive me away just because I fell asleep in the car and Derek didn’tpull over in front of you?”

Millie sneered. “Stop playing dumb. Marcus, if you like Rhea, you don’t have to hide it from me. Justfollow your heart, court her, marry her, or whatever. I won’t stop you.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Did she say something to you?”

Marcus’ head was hurting from all the confusion. What prompted Millie to bring up Rhea? What did thatwoman do this time?

He cursed inwardly. He really had no idea what was going on.

If Rhea were there, he would love to rip her to shreds.

Millie smiled, startling Marcus.

“Were you really on a business trip for the past few days? You were with Rhea, weren’t you? You evenbought specialties and souvenirs to make your lies more believable. I guess I should be thankful thatyou still care enough about me to lie to me about your wrongdoings, huh?”

She had decided to believe him because of her grandmother’s assurances, but that changed when hiscar drove past her, and she had to run after it like a fool.

Disappointment filled her entire being.

Even more so after she returned and saw the specialties and souvenirs that he bought for her.

Surprise washed over Marcus. Millie already knew that he was not out on business and had assumedthat he was spending time with Rhea instead.

He just did not want her to worry, but he ended up making a fool of himself and causing her distress inthe process.
