Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

At that moment, her stomach rumbled.

Marcus was about to have dinner, so he invited her to join him.

Over the course of their meal, he learned that Shera was studying at H University, a testament to her academic prowess. She was deeply committed to charitable work.

She showed him photos from her various charitable endeavors. The images depicted her delivering new clothing to children in welfare houses, spending time with the elderly in nursing homes, and providing educational support in poor countries.

While girls her age were preoccupied with appearances and romantic pursuits, Shera remained focused on her studies and philanthropy.

Marcus held great respect for her.

Coincidentally, the Thomas Group made annual charitable donations and hosted a major charity event. He extended an invitation for Shera to join the Thomas Group during her holiday to assist in organizing the event.

And she accepted his invitation.

What he hadn’t anticipated were the rumors that surfaced as a result.

Celeste also welcomed Shera’s visit, conducting a thorough background check and ultimately forming a fond opinion of her.

Despite Shera’s awareness of Marcus’ lack of affection for her, the blunt refusal still weighed heavily on her heart.

“I believe that if the car accident hadn’t occurred, we might have been married. Your mother held me in high regard. She wished I could be her daughter-in-law.”

Marcus’ brows furrowed. He had already expressed his stance on their relationship being impossible. Why was she so persistent?

Turning away from Shera, he said deliberately, “You’re perceptive.

Regardless, we cannot be together. I trust you’ve already known that I am married. My love is dedicated solely to my wife. It will remain this way until death do us part.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Shera’s voice grew strained. After a pause, she rasped, “Can you take me back home? The rain is pouring down.”

Marcus’ love for his wife was so profound that he could confidently affirm his devotion until the end of his days.

“No problem,” Marcus agreed.

Along the way, he got a call from Millie.

Marcus answered the phone, momentarily disregarding Shera.

“Darling, are you still awake?” Millie asked in a hushed tone.

“I am. I’m dropping off a friend.”

Millie remarked sternly, “It’s quite late. Please be cautious driving at night. When you return, make sure to sleep early. I’ve reminded you time and time again to take care of yourself. Why don’t you listen?”

A gentle smile graced Marcus’ Lips. He was glad to know that she was concerned for his well-being.
