Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 984

“Keep tracking her. We’ll act when the opportunity arises.”

After Emerie left, Nancy’s anger flared once more. Grabbing her pen, she resolved to design the starrysky series.

The next day in the countryside, Millie’s grandmother asked her to pack up and return to Preagend.

“Millie, I’m fine. You should head back to work.”

Millie’s hesitation was clear. Despite her pending design work, she wanted to remain with hergrandmother.

Bruce caught Millie’s uncertainty and approached, saying, “I haven’t eaten enough here, and grandmawants to send me away?”

The grandmother looked embarrassed. It was Bruce’s first time in the countryside, and she was alreadypushing him away. How thoughtless of her.

“I was inconsiderate. The weather is fine today, Millie. Why don’t you take Bruce for a walk nearby?”

Millie and Bruce strolled to a sprawling grassland. After Millie settled on the lawn, Bruce sat beside her,resting his chin on his hand as he studied her.

“You’re pondering the jewelry design for a wedding. Are you worried you’ll run out of time when you getback?”

Millie’s eyes widened as she turned to him. How did he know about the wedding jewelry? Had he beenspying on her?

Bruce’s wicked smile suggested he knew her thoughts.

“I know even more. Care to hear some secrets about Marcus?”

He clearly admitted to watching her.

Millie’s brow furrowed.

“I don’t want to know. I’m not interested in your affairs.”

Though curiosity tugged at her, she knew that understanding the cousins’ differences wouldn’t helpmend their relationship.

Bruce was taken aback by Millie’s lack of interest. He snapped his fingers, a bit surprised. Wasn’t itsaid that women were inherently curious?

“Smart,” he commented.

Millie picked up a branch, drawing a circle, a flower, and a sun.

She soon moved the branch away, revealing the word “Marcus.”

Bruce’s eyes narrowed as he teased, “You’re lovesick. It’s only been a day, but you miss your husbandthat much?”

Observing the word she had written, Millie was equally shocked.

Hadn’t she been drawing flowers and grass? How had she managed to write the name “Marcus”?
