Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter 257

I'll take them with my prince charming, anyway,” Millie declared, holding her ground and meeting his gaze fearlessly.

Marcus’ inky eyes narrowed. He remained expressionless, but his aura took on an icier air. She still believed in prince charming? What was she, a child?

She was his, and no one else was allowed to have her.

As Marcus’ menacing stare penetrated her, Millie sank her fingernails into her palm.

Even though it was daytime, she felt as though she were confronting a messenger from hell. “That’s enough chit-chat. Get back to work.” Marcus averted his gaze and tumed around to leave.

Bruce scratched his head and sighed. “Grandma is really smart. She already knew what your response would be before she sent me here. Fine. I'll stop trying to convince you; I'll let Grandma do that. You have to accept this, though. This is expensive.”

Marcus cast a cold look at Bruce, silently asking the other man if he wanted to be beaten up.

Bruce immediately withdrew his hand and schooled his expression.

Suddenly, Marcus looked at Millie with a frown on his face and ordered, “Go and meet Grandma. Tell her we're not going to do the photoshoot. Come up with a reason why we can't.”

Millie looked at him with a raised brow. The man was actually forcing her to deal with the situation as if it were her obligation. Unbelievable.

“Why do | have to do that? Why don’t you do it yourself?” Millie demanded. “Because I’m busy. | don’t have time for such a trivial thing,” Marcus replied.

“I'm busy too...”
