Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

A trace of mockery danced in Bruce's eyes. He had scarcely left the base when
the call arrived, leaving him to wonder whether Claudia had been observing his
every move.
“Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Thomas requests your presence at the old house,”
Freyja relayed.
Observing the passersby around him, Bruce responded, “Freyja, kindly convey to
Grandma that my current engagements are too pressing to allow me a visit.”
On the opposite end, Freyja translated his response to Renata as “Madam, Mr.
Thomas expresses his unavailability due to prior commitments.”
“Let me have the phone.”
Claudia, not to be deterred, seized the phone.
“Bruce, I heard about your injury. Is it grave?”
Her voice wavered, revealing her concern.
“No, Grandma, there's no cause for worry. I'm perfectly fine.”

Bruce's tone, once playful, now bore a weightier resonance.
Claudia persisted, her words measuring, “Bruce, is there a rift between us?”
Coughing softly, her words lingered in the air.

Bruce's lips curled into a derisive smile. As anticipated, his every move was
under Claudia’s watchful gaze.
“Bruce?”
“The matter concerns us alone. You need not intervene. I won't succumb to such
a trifling injury.”
With the line severed, Bruce deliberated for a moment, his lips pressed in
contemplation, before reentering the private room.
Upon Bruce's solo return, Ryan cast a surprised glance in his direction.
