Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

“Just looking at her, one can tell she’s from a modest background. I wonder how
my exceptional nephew ever fell for her.”

Madison's words struck at Celeste’s most sensitive nerve. Celeste’s chest
tightened.

It wasn't so much infatuation as they had been deceived by the Brown family.
Any fool would see that this ugly-looking woman was a poor match, but Celeste
was aware that Madison's comments were aimed at shaming her family.

“An awkward silence permeated the room.

Marcus, wearing a grave expression, stepped forward and presented his gift.
“This is a silver cup from ancient times. May it bring Grandma longevity and
everlasting joy.”

Asilver cup from ancient times?

Everyone was astounded. The cup was a rare artifact of inestimable value.
Marcus's gift was indeed remarkable and undeniably the most precious present
at the birthday celebration.

Millie stealthily glanced at Marcus. His gesture seemed to assist her in extricating
herself from this uncomfortable predicament.

Claudia, smiling, accepted both gifts, apparently unperturbed by Madison's
remarks.

“Both of you are so considerate. I appreciate these heartfelt gifts.”

Then turning to Millie, she asked, “These biscuits, were they baked by Woody
himself? Are these the renowned zodiac biscuits from him?”

Upon opening the cookie box, Claudia noticed that these were not ordinary
biscuits.

They were soft, fragrant, and each bore a distinct, charming animal pattern,
making them all the more delightful.

Millie nodded.
