Chapter: 62
Millie didn’t believe in supernatural things. In fact, she was quite the rational person, but this was just too much for her heart to take. Could it be karma playing on her after she played ghost and scared people last night?
The man holding her hand frowned as she screamed and tried to get away from him. What the hell was wrong with this woman? Did she want to wake the whole villa?
And believing in ghosts? How old was she? Sleep eluded Marcus earlier, and he felt inexplicably annoyed. Ever since he married Millie, his carefully planned out life seemed to be taking a different turn. So, he came to the balcony for some fresh air to clear his mind, and to come up with solutions to put everything back on track.
“Stop! It’s me!” Marcus shouted so she could hear him above her screams. Millie abruptly stopped when she heard the familiar male voice.
She took a deep breath, then slowly tuned around, her hand on her rapidly beating chest. She leaned closer towards him and observed him like a criminal.
Marcus’ frown deepened, irritated by her scrutiny. “| had no idea you were so ignorant. Ghosts don’t exist,” Marcus said.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
It was only after Millie was certain that it was indeed Marcus that she relaxed. Just as soon, she got annoyed again and scolded, “What the hell are you doing on the balcony so late at night? You almost scared me to death!”
When she was working, he bugged her and wanted to sleep. Now that she gave him just what he needed to sleep, he chose to come out here and scare people instead?
“Maybe | should have let that happen. It would have solved more than half of my problems. | wouldn’t have an ugly wife like you anymore,” Marcus retorted.
‘That was exactly how Harvey and his gang referred to Millie last night.
Millie gritted her teeth and tried her best to calm down in the face of his infuriating words.
He really scared her earlier.
Marcus let her go, and with a long stride, was leaning against the wall and staring at her.
“Trust me, if your plan worked and you scared me to death, | would come back every night and hunt you until this house turned into a haunted house. You'll be so scared that you won't be able to sleep or do anything. Before long, you'll join me.
You should go to bed now.”
Millie rubbed her eyes as she finished. She turned to go, expecting Marcus to let her go, but she felt a tug on her arm and stumbled back.
Marcus couldn't believe his luck. His wife was so vicious that she would love to torture him even after her death.
They fell silent after that. As the moonlight faintly fell on Millie’s face, it seemed to accentuate her beauty. Marcus looked up at her, as if hypnotized by the pleasant scent coming off of her.
His fingertips began making small circles on her inner wrist, frustrating Millie.
