Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 81
Millie tried to be as polite and pleasing as possible, but it seemed to irritate the
renowned doctor even more.
“Have some dignity, please!” Leon snapped impatiently. “My fiancée is a very
jealous woman, and I would like to stay out of trouble. I have made myself very
clear. Do not bother me anymore.”
Millie remained on the spot for a moment, flustered and confused by his obvious
aversion to her.
However, she didn't need him to like her. She needed him to save her
grandmother.
“Leon, I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand me. Trust me, I would love nothing
else but to leave you in peace. But you see, my grandmother is the most
important person in my life. I cannot lose her. You may have stopped practicing,
but I'm certain that you're still as good you used to be. I'm begging for help. Her
state is rapidly deteriorating, and you're her only hope.”
Millie didn’t think he could get even more cold and cruel, but he did. “Why exactly
am I supposed to care what happens to your grandmother? I've warned you
already.
Stop pestering me, or you'll regret it,” he said and left without looking back. This
time, Millie let him go. She couldn't rush this. She could use some time to think of
how to convince him.
She didn’t know if Leon was naturally this cold-hearted, or if he just didn't like her
for some reason. She had a distinct feeling that it was the latter. But why?
Unconsciously, Millie looked towards the centre of the banquet hall, where
Marcus stood tall, listening to the conversation in front of him.
She recalled when she presented her gift to Claudia earlier. Leon had been
standing opposite Marcus at the time. Now that she thought about it, the air was
unusually tense between them, as though they were having some sort of silent
battle.
Perhaps they didn’t have a good relationship. Worse still, maybe they loathed
each other, and Millie was suffering from it by extension for being Marcus’ wife.
As soon as Millie looked away in thought, a woman in a red dress walked
towards Marcus. After exchanging a few words, they headed towards the
balcony.
Not long after, Rhea walked over to Millie in her splendid attire, and a glass of red
wine in hand.
“Take this glass to Marcus. He is on the balcony.” Rhea held the glass of wine out
to her.
Millie looked at the glass, then at Rhea, puzzled. Why couldn't she deliver the
glass herself? Besides, shouldn't Rhea be very eager to go to him herself? She
was the one always fawning over him.
Besides, when did Marcus go to the balcony when he was over there a minute
ago?
Despite her curiosity, she still refused with a shake of her head. “You're already
holding the glass. Go give him yourself.”

suspicion, cautiously took hold of the
wine glass, pinching it between her
fingertips. Lost in thought, she took a
