Chapter: 14
Millie, it seemed, had not been sleeping quite so soundly after all, as she opened her eyes abruptly. She blinked, anda handsome face came into her view.
Her eyes widened in bewilderment, and she exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
Marcus felt a sense of guilt when he withdrew his hand.
“I'm waking you up. Get up. You're sleeping on the sofa,” Marcus ordered.
Millie glanced at the sofa and grimaced. It was spacious, but it was no substitute for a bed.
She knew that Marcus would not want to sleep next to her and that someone would have to spend the night on the sofa. She decided to go to sleep before Marcus so that she would be the one to sleep on the bed. However, she did not expect that the man would wake her up.
Millie clung to the comforter and snuggled up against the pillow. “| don’t want to. I’m tired. You sleep on the sofa.”
Marcus narrowed his gaze, a strange sensation tickling his chest. Millie looked like a child throwing a tantrum as she stubbornly refused to get out of bed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He immediately adopted an indifferent attitude. He looked at Millie with an expression of utter disinterest and apathy.
“Do you even know who you're talking to? | can easily make you sleep on the doorstep, you know?” Marcus pointed out threateningly.
Biting her lower lip, Millie loosened her grip on the comforter and slowly sat up. She knew she would not win against the man ina direct confrontation.
As she made her way to the sofa with the comforter in hand, the lights flickered and then went out.
Millie stomped her foot in frustration, cursing Marcus inside her head for being petty. He did not even wait until she was properly lying down before turning off the light.
On the large bed, Marcus was scowling deeply as he rolled over to his side. The smell of the ugly woman’s body lingered on the sheets, even though she had only been there for a short time.
The following day, Millie woke up bright and early and got dressed for the day.
She walked down the stairs and found Rhea seated on the sofa in the living room. The servant was serving her a platter of fresh fruit and a cup of tea. Celeste was also there.
When Rhea looked up, she caught sight of Millie. A frown formed on her face as she pondered the possibility that Marcus had spent the night next to the hideous-looking woman.
Last night, Rhea could not sleep at all, and the moment daylight arrived, she made her way here to find out if something really happened between the newly married couple. She shook her head. It was impossible. To sleep next to such a repulsive creature would have been beneath Marcus’s dignity. ©
Rhea seethed inside as she thought of Millie’s domineering behaviour last night.
She was definitely going to put the woman in her place today.
