Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

She was putting on a delicate snowy chiffon dress. She tied her hair up, a few
strands falling against her forehead and exposing her slender neck. Her soft rosy
lips stood out on her fair complexion, making her look particularly radiant and
enchanting.
Marcus forced himself to look away from her after realizing that he had been
staring for too long,
All of a sudden, Millie hit the table with her fists and cursed loudly.
“I get it now. That crazy man was insulting me!”
The room suddenly fell silent, an awkward feeling hanging in the atmosphere.
For some reason, Marcus felt guilty, but he didn’t clarify on the topic. Instead, he
said, “You're really careless. How do you manage to forget stuff at your age?”
Millie looked at Marcus in disbelief. Was he really lecturing her? She wouldn't be
surprised if she was the Doberman they were talking about earlier.
With an angry huff, she grabbed her bag and turned to leave.
But then, Marcus unexpectedly grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her flat
against his sturdy chest in one move.
His chest felt so firm and hard, but Millie immediately recoiled and tried to get
away, as if she had been bummed.
That wasn't the reaction Marcus expected, and it annoyed him.
“You're going to tell me why you pretended to be ugly all this time!” he ordered
angrily, letting his dissatisfaction with her reaction get the better of him.
“Ouch! It hurts.”
Millie winced in pain as his hold on her wrist got tighter. She braved through the
pain and refused to give in. She had no business giving him an explanation as to
why she wanted to look ugly. It was her face.
Besides, her silence was much better than the real reason why she did this. She
was so scared that Marcus would develop feelings for her that she had to ruin
her appearance.
She was determined to hold her tongue, but the look in Marcus’ eyes made her
understand that she didn't exactly have a choice.

Marcus scoffed. Surely, she didn’t expect him to believe that lame explanation.
