Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 7
She hurriedly ducked her head, put her mask on, and grabbed the servant's
hand.
Millie quickly cut her off mid-sentence, saying, “It's nothing. She just got scared
when I took my mask off.”
“No, I wasn't scared. It’s...” The servant tried to continue explaining, but she
paused when Millie anxiously squeezed her hand.
The servant gave Millie a questioning look, wondering why she was preventing
her from telling Marcus the truth.
Millie rubbed the servant's back in a comforting manner. “It’s okay. I'm sorry for
scaring you. Don't worry. I won't take my mask off again when you're around.”
The servant gaped at her. She could not fathom why Millie would say such a
ridiculous lie.
With furrowed brows, Marcus regarded the unusual scene before him
thoughtfully.
“It's good that you have some self-awareness. You'd better hide that face of
yours properly. Don’t you dare embarrass me by showing it to anyone.”
Marcus did not show it on his face, but he felt a shiver run down his spine. Millie’s
face had scared the servant so much that she actually screamed. It must have
been a horrifying sight.
A sigh of relief escaped Millie’s lips, thankful that Marcus had bought her story.
The man left the room and retreated to the first floor. He did not want to stay in
the bedroom any longer after witnessing the servant's reaction to Millie's face.
“You don't have any scars on your face at all. Why would you...”
Millie examined the servant from head to toe. Based on her innocent-looking
face, the young woman looked to be in her early twenties. She did not look like a
troublemaker, either.
“What's your name?” Millie asked.
“I'm Gemma,” the servant replied.
“Alright, Gemma. Listen, you mustn't tell anyone about what you saw. There’s a
reason why I'm hiding my face, so please don't let anyone know about this. Keep
this a secret for me, and I'll treat you more nicely.”
“Oh. Uh, okay, I guess...” Gemma Wright replied, squirming the words out of her
mouth with difficulty.

With a radiant smile on her face, Millie twisted the tiny ruby ring on her middle
finger.
“Well, now you know how great I am. Treat me better in the future, and you'll reap
the rewards.”
