Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

It was inconceivable that such an apparently insignificant caterpillar could unleash such intense suffering.

In agony, Shera sought retribution by crushing the caterpillar under her heel.

“The pain is unbearable, you creepy creature!” she wailed, her voice quaking with the torment she endured.

Millie released a relieved sigh, a fleeting sense of justice settling over her, and resumed her forward march.

Soon after, Marcus and Trenton caught up, their eyes drawn to the bizarre tableau before them.

Millie had one hand pressed protectively against her belly, and Shera, holding up her inflamed and swollen hand, stood in silent defiance, refusing to back down.

Trenton, puzzled by the scene before him, asked, “Did you both fight?”

In the tense silence that followed, neither Millie nor Shera uttered a word.

Marcus was solely focused on Millie’s well-being. He shot a quick, disapproving look in Shera’s direction and then turned his attention to Millie’s belly, concern etching his features.

“Did she hit your belly?” he inquired, his eyes aflame with anger.

Millie moved her lips, but Shera spoke up first. “My hand got hurt too. It’s all swollen.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

It turned out that Millie had taken action as well.

Millie couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Shera’s complaint. She acted just like her sister, always complaining first after her wrongdoing.

She then turned to Marcus and Trenton and asked with genuine concern, “Are you both okay? Are you hurt?”

Marcus placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and answered, “We’re fine, don’t worry too much. Sit down and rest.”

Though the attackers had come at them aggressively, it wasn’t a simple task to eliminate them completely.

Millie shook her head, anxious to keep moving. “No, we need to keep going.

Those people will catch up with us soon.”

Marcus, removing his coat and placing it on a nearby rock, insisted that Millie sat down.

“Rest for now. Before we continue, we need to address something, or we’ll never shake them off.”

After making her sit, Marcus fixed his ice-cold gaze on Shera.

She failed to notice the menacing look in his eyes. She clenched her fists and considered Millie unworthy of Marcus’s concern.

She believed Millie to be putting up a charade.

Shera’s sore and swollen hand seemed to go unnoticed by those around her.
