Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
Chapter 994

As Marcus attended to payment, a young girl handed Millie a note from Nancy.

“The lady asked me to give this to you,” she said.

Glancing towards Nancy, Millie read the note.

Each word was virtually searing, a testament to Nancy’s rage: “Don’t grow too proud. I will torment yousooner or later. Await my retaliation.”

With indifference, Millie discarded the note, unshaken by Nancy’s threats.

Upon settling the bill, Marcus was met with an unexpected gesture.

Millie approached, her face illuminated by a smile, tenderly grasping his robust arm.

“Darling, I must praise you, for the delicious and tender lobster you prepared.”

“Love, your collar’s awry. Allow me to fix it.”

“Did you notice our matching outfits today? Same brand!”

Her beautiful visage radiant, Millie’s smile bloomed.

Marcus, bewildered by her conduct, discerned a deliberate display of public affection.

Unaware of Nancy’s presence, and despite his earlier encounter with Harlan, Marcus’ focus remainedon Millie. The world around him seemed irrelevant.

Millie’s glance swept over Nancy, noting her worsening expression.

Contented, she guided Marcus from the restaurant, preempting Nancy’s anticipated retaliation with herown offensive.

Exiting the restaurant, Marcus halted abruptly.

Confused, Millie turned.

“Why’d you stop?”

“What happened earlier? Your behavior was odd.”

Marcus’ eyes roamed over Millie, pondering what had provoked her unusual display. As her spouse, hefelt a compelling need to understand.

She had remained close to him while walking out of the restaurant, a clear sign that the incident hadleft its mark on her.

Before Millie could answer the question, she spotted Nancy emerging from the restaurant.

Tidying her head and shrugging, Millie intentionally raised her voice.

“It’s because I just spotted an irritating individual. Her boyfriend is nowhere near as attractive orwealthy as you. I feel superior.”
