Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 79
Claudia shot a quick glance at Madison and scolded, “Just because you can't do
it, doesn’t mean no one else can. Woody's Biscuits have a unique scent. I knew
the moment I sniffed its fragrance that it was the real deal. Stop spouting
nonsense now, Madison.”
With a long face, Madison clamped her mouth shut.
Claudia then tumed back to Millie and Marcus with a smile on her face.
“I'm really grateful for the exquisite gift you gave me. Maybe this is the best time
for me to tell you my wish for my eightieth birthday. I wish that you and Marcus
will have a long and happy marriage. I can't wait to hear the sound of tiny feet
everywhere around me.”
Everyone's eyes went wide in surprise when they heard this. The matriarch had
always hoped for an ever-lasting prosperity for the Thomas family. But Claudia’s
wish expressed something totally different this year. It made no sense that she
would waste her eightieth birthday wish on Millie and Marcus.
Meanwhile, Millie and Marcus were just as shocked as everyone else. Millie felt
heat rise to her cheeks when Claudia’s words played in her mind again. How
could they possibly have a baby with the way they were? Also, as strange as it
was, it had never crossed her mind.
Marcus too couldn't understand why his grandmother would do that. But then,
when he stole a glance at Millie's red face, he felt a small flutter of excitement. A
shy Millie was a really rare sight.
Standing next to Claudia, Kelly said with a smile to the new couple, “The both of
you must be elated by this, right? Mrs. Thomas has dedicated her only birthday
wish to you both. You should express your gratitude to her.”
Millie looked at Marcus, her expression urging him to join her and express his
gratitude. Of course, the stubborn mule turned his nose up at her tuned away.
Millie discreetly pinched her arm and gritted her teeth. The damn cowardly man!
She stayed calm and reminded herself that men were unreliable beings.
So, she tumed back to Claudia with a beautiful smile on her face and said, “I
really appreciate your wish, Grandma. It's kind of you.”
Just beside them, Madison bristled with hatred, her resentment towards Millie
increasing. Claudia’s increasing appreciation for Millie only meant that her own
future daughter-in-law’s privileges would decrease.
How she wished something could happen to make Claudia hate Millie as much
as she did. Unable to hold her tongue, she said, “Maybe you should have
skipped out on attending this party since you have to wear mask all through. I
mean, you can't eat or drink anything. You should have just stayed at home, don't
you think?”
Millie looked at Madison who seemed determined to ruin her night. She wouldn't
let her. She smiled back at Madison and replied wittily, “Aunt Thomas, I
understand your concern. However, it's important that we all attend Grandma's
birthday party.
It won't be meaningful if we're not all here. I may have nothing to eat or drink
because of my mask, but I think the most important thing is us spending this
quality time together.”

Madison frowned, surprised and
annoyed by how Millie answered her.
Before she could say any more,
Claudia shot her a stern look that
warned her to stop provoking Millie.

“Grandma, now that you've received all your presents, which is your favourite?”
Claudia gave Bruce a pointed look. He was trying to set up a trap for her, but she
wouldn't fall for it. “I love all my gifts. They are all lovely.”
Bruce wasn't having it. He wanted her to say it.
