Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Even if they managed to defeat this group, Victor’s elite team awaited them and they were far more formidable.

This all happened while he was at his physical weakest.

Well aware of his grandfather’s determination, Marcus knew that he wouldn’t easily give up on bringing him back to Raven Island.

He then tapped on Millie’s contact number.

Marcus had never foreseen that this trip to Oldfort might be their parting journey.

Amidst his hesitation, he refrained from calling Millie. He harbored concerns about her growing anxious, yet he yearned for her presence, wishing she could be by his side at that moment so he could hold her close in his arms.

Instead, he decided to send her a message.

“Honey, it’s raining heavily, and I’m stuck in Oldfort. Please go to bed early.”

Had he known the journey would become so perilous, he wouldn’t have rushed into it.

Shera couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy as she observed Marcus’s actions.

She couldn’t deny that when he shielded her from a bullet, there was a secret delight in knowing that he still harbored concern for her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

They all sat around the fire, leaned against the wall and gradually closed their eyes.

During this respite, Marcus dreamt that Millie was coming to him. He suddenly woke up upon hearing a commotion from outside. It was the sound of gunfire and approaching footsteps.

Marcus and Trenton swiftly drew their weapons, positioning themselves on both sides of the door, ready to shoot should anyone attempt to enter.

With a forceful kick, the door swung open, and an intruder barged in.

“Don’t shoot!”

Trenton instinctively readied to pull the trigger when someone entered, but he stopped when he heard Marcus’ voice.

Upon hearing Marcus, Millie turned around, caught sight of him behind her and rushed into his arms.

“Sweetheart, it’s you!”

“How did you manage to get here?”

Marcus was caught off guard. It was as if that dream had hinted at this moment to him.
