Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 733

Once dinner was over, Millie began to clear the table and headed to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Toher surprise, Marcus followed her.

Millie was puzzled.

“Let’s go wash them together,” Marcus told her.

Although Millie had thought that men generally disliked washing dishes, she was pleased when heoffered to assist her with the chores.

She handed him a pair of gloves, saying, “Put these on.”

In the confined space of the kitchen, as they washed dishes together, Millie’s eyes wandered toMarcus. Dressed in his crisp white shirt and black trousers, he was tidying up the kitchen. She foundherself smiling and picked up her pace.

After cleaning up, Millie prepared a fruit salad, planning to enjoy it with Marcus as they watched TVlater.

Marcus was on a phone call on the balcony when Millie brought out the fruit salad and set it on the teatable.

Taking a seat on the sofa, Marcus turned on the TV with a content smile on his face.

He hadn’t seen Millie so joyful in a long while and wished she could feel this way every day.

As they settled into an engaging series, Millie began to savor the fruit. Due to her demanding workschedule, she hadn’t had the leisure to watch TV lately. But since her design business was temporarilyon pause, she relished the time to unwind.

She loved the tranquility of the night.

While Millie was engrossed in the TV show, Marcus found himself watching her instead.

Suddenly, the actors on the screen shared a passionate kiss.

Millie nearly choked on an apple slice.

She shot a look at Marcus, but his face was impassive as he stared at the TV.

Embarrassed, Millie reached for the remote control to change the channel, but as soon as she stoodup, she lost her footing. Stumbling, she ended up being pulled toward Marcus’ thigh, where she satdown, flustered.

The strength of Marcus’ legs made Millie feel a sudden nervousness as she braced herself against hischest, her body pressed against him.

“I think I should go to bed,” she stammered.

Marcus, however, was unwilling to let the moment pass. His eyes remained fixed on her beautiful faceas he swallowed hard.

“It’s still quite early,” he protested.

“I’m really sleepy. I think I might yawn,” Millie replied, trying to divert the tension.
