Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

However, the situation had been too perilous. Had he and Trenton not shown
restraint, Millie could've been fatally wounded.

In that moment, Marcus struggled to articulate what it felt like to see Millie there.
No words could truly encapsulate his feelings.

“Harlan helped me get through,” Millie explained.

By now, the sound of gunfire had ceased outside. It seemed that Harlan had
pulled back.

“What about Harlan?” Trenton inquired.

It was then that Millie realized that Harlan still hadnt shown up.

“Damn! Did he get shot?” Millie blurted out in a voice filled with worry.

“No, he’s not shot,” Marcus assured her firmly. “I believe he retreated when he
found out that you got inside without a hitch.”

Millie was relieved to hear that.

Millie suddenly remembered something else and retrieved a long, dark object
from her pocket. “Harlan asked me to give this to you,” she said.

Taking it from her, Marcus discovered it was a magazine filled with fifteen bullets;
a truly timely gift under the circumstances.

Marcus and Trenton divided the bullets among themselves and then guided Millie
toward the fire to sit down.

When Millie arrived at the fire, she and Shera locked eyes, and a mutual sense of
displeasure filling the air.

Millie frowned, wondering why Shera was even around.
ANGELA'SLIBRARY

Reflecting on the malicious actions Shera had undertaken in the past, Millie felt
her anger rise. However, she knew this wasn't the appropriate moment to settle
personal scores, so she decided to suppress her ire.

Shera took note of Millie's confusion and felt a surge of joy, but her mood soured
with Millie's arrival. It had been a rare opportunity for her to spend time alone with
Marcus.

Just then, Marcus received a message from Harlan.

“I have another task to attend to, so I must leave. I hope bringing her here was
not a mistake.”

Before his phone shut down, Marcus managed to send a reply. “Thank you.”
Millie turned to Marcus and asked, “Are you injured?”

Spotting the blood-soaked sleeve on his arm, she immediately became teary-
eyed, overwhelmed with worry.
