Chapter 85

Chapter: 85

Millie walked to the railing, pressing the space between her eyebrows and scratching the marble carving with her fingertips as

she went. The damn man literally cheated on her without any scruple.

“So what? You plan on keeping the baby?”

“| believe you heard me, right? The baby will definitely be born,” Marcus replied without missing a beat, staring at the foolish

woman who actually thought the child was his.

Looking at her eyebrows creased in concentration, or was it frustration, gave Marcus an idea. Perhaps this was his chance to

tease this silly woman who always found a way to annoy him.

“Why exactly didn’t you make it clear that you had gotten someone pregnant before we got married?”

“[m pretty sure | informed Mia. Did she not tell you?”

Millie’s frown deepened. Maybe this was why Mia became reluctant and finally backed out of marrying Marcus.

“From the look on your face, she didn’t. But what exactly did you think when | married you? Do you really think that with my

status, the Brown family is a match for me? | only chose the Brown family because of the other factors that played into it,”

Marcus said casually and took a sip of his wine, completely relaxed.

Meanwhile, Millie was about to explode. She clenched her fists and tried to keep her tone even as she said, “Yes, | understand

that there was a reason behind the marriage, but 1 assumed that it was because you were disabled. | mean, it makes sense. No

one would want to marry a disabled man!”

Millie was barely keeping herself together. It was as though sparks were about to fly out of her eyes, and flames out of her ears.

Her anger seemed to bring Marcus immense joy. He hadn’t had this much fun in a long time.

“Don’t talk with so much disgust. | know you were very eager to wed me.”

Millie rolled her eyes.

“Believe it or not, but | wanted nothing to do with you, talk less of marrying you.”

“Really now? Of course, you won't admit it now. But the way you talk now makes me realise that you are just worried the child

will one day fight with you over family property. Am | wrong?”

His assumptions almost undid Millie. Did this man really think everyone spent their hours thinking of money? She was just really

embarrassed. She never even knew about the existence of a child.

“Trust me, | don’t care about your family property. What | need to know is if everyone here knows that the woman is pregnant

with your child. Do they know that I’ve been made a fool out of? Oh, the embarrassment!”

The woman returned to the banquet hall and greeted others. It was evident that everyone present was familiar with her and knew

her connection to Marcus.

“What are your plans after the baby is born?” Millie inquired, glancing at the woman’s protruding belly. She couldn’t help but

speculate that the woman had already given birth before she divorced Marcus.

The woman seemed somewhat timid, leading Millie to assume that her social standing wasn’t high enough to be accepted into

the Thomas family.

“My child will naturally call me Dad and call you Mom.”

Millie touched her forehead in disbelief, taking a deep breath to compose herself.

She reminded herself that Marcus was a despicable man unworthy of her anger.
