SWNOVELS Chapter 20
Chapter: 20
What a jerk. Millie clutched the book even more tightly.
She would never apologize to that woman.
Marcus waited for some time, but Millie never expressed any regret for what she
did. In a huff, he stormed out and slammed the door shut behind him.
He grabbed the passing servant and instructed, “Keep an eye on this room. Don't
give her any food until I say so.”
Inside the room, Millie was boiling with resentment. Marcus was completely
How could he forbid her from eating? This was abuse.
She put down the book and went to open the door. It was locked, as she had
predicted. Millie rubbed her rumbling stomach and sighed, lamenting her bad
luck.
She had only eaten once the day before, and now, she was forbidden to
consume any food.
Enduring her anger, she grabbed her phone and dialled her grandmother's
number.
“Miss Brown, your grandmother is asleep. Would you like me to wake her up?”
Teresa, the caregiver she had hired for her grandmother, was the one who
answered the phone.
“It's fine. Let her sleep. How is Grandma, Teresa?”
Her grandmother, who had been stirred awake by the phone's ringing, perked up
when she heard Millie's voice on the other end of the line. “Is that Millie? Let me
talk to her.”
Teresa handed the phone to her.
Millie’s grandmother sounded worried as she said, “Millie, I'm fine here. Don’t
worry too much about me. You recently got married into a large and strict family,
right? How is it there? They're not mistreating you, are they?”
Her heart ached as she remembered the scar on her granddaughters face. The
Thomas family might give her a hard time because of her disfigured face.
An invisible hand squeezed Millie's heart. Only her grandmother truly cared
about her.
