Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 60
Millie saw the frown on Marcus's face and immediately knew he did not believe
her.
Since he obviously thought she was lying, she stopped trying to explain and got
back to work.
Twenty minutes later, Millie was still working on the dress when Marcus emerged
from the bathroom and went to bed.
Marcus woke up in the middle of the night to find the room dark, with only the
lamp on the desk serving as a light.
He blinked in surprise and wondered if the woman had been awake all this time.
He stared at Millie with an unreadable expression on his face. The warm light
highlighted her features, particularly the bridge of her nose. She looked like a
painting as she worked under the golden glow of the lamp.
He turned over in bed but found himself unable to go back to sleep.
When Marcus concluded that it was the lamp that was keeping him awake, he
knocked on the table. “Turn off the light and go to sleep.”
Millie's head shot up with a start. Why did the man wake up? Earlier, when she
saw him sleeping, she turned off the bedroom lights and switched on a small
desk lamp to avoid disturbing him.
Millie examined the damage to the dress that still needed fixing.
She was nearly done, but she did not feel like going to bed yet. It was not in her
nature to leave a task in progress before retiring for the night.
“Go back to sleep. I'll just finish this.”
“How will I go back to sleep when there's still a light in the room?”
Marcus looked at the clock on the wall and groaned. How on earth was Millie not
tired of working after so many hours? It was already late.
Millie on her part, was annoyed by Marcus’ antics. She had reduced the light so
much already. Why was he still complaining? Suppressing her anger, she took
out a black eye mask from the drawer and held it out to him.
“Wear this. It'll block out the light and help you sleep,” she said and reduced the
lights again, making it even more difficult for her to see what she was doing.
Just then, a sharp needle accidentally went though the fabric and pricked her
fingertip.
“Ouch!” she yelped and withdrew her hand, a drop of blood standing on the
fingertip.

Marcus tumed back sharply when he
heard her cry of pain. Then, when he

saw the blood on Millie's rosy
fingertip, he strangely felt like he had
been hurt too. The content is on

Millie tore a piece of tissue and wiped
away the blood. Without a care in the
world, she bent down and continued
mending her dress, yawning

Marcus discreetly clenched his fists
under the blanket. Why the hell was
this woman so stubborn? Just to
annoy him? She refused to sleep at
such a late hour just to mend a
stupid dress. The content is on

Suddenly, Marcus pulled open a drawer, took out a card and threw it onto the
desk.
