The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 117

The temperature had dropped after the heavy rain. The air became cool.

As soon as Janet took out the key to open the door, she heard footsteps and the rustling of plastic behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a black shadow engulfed her.

Her body stiffened, and her heart began to race in her chest.

‘Oh, God! I hope Ethan has returned home.’

She waved her purse to attack, but the tall figure quickly dodged.

The man’s strong body pressed her against the door. His steady breath blew against her air. She could feel his rising body temperature. The man tucked Janet’s long hair behind her ear and gently kissed the back of her neck.

“My husband is inside. If you dare to even lay a finger on me, he will beat you to death!” Janet’s voice quivered with fear.

“You have another husband?” Hearing the familiar voice, Janet finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and pinched his arm. “That wasn’t funny. I was so scared that my heart was in my throat the entire time.”

“I’m sorry. Let’s go inside.” Ethan smiled and ruffled her hair. Then, he leaned forward and opened the door.

As soon as they entered the apartment, Ethan grabbed her waist, and the two fell onto the sofa.

Janet moaned as he peppered kisses on her ear and collarbone. Ethan was strong and aggressive. “I miss you so much. We agreed to sleep in my room tonight,” he said breathlessly.

Janet didn’t remember agreeing to it.

“No. I have something important to tell you. Please listen to me. Brandon texted me again,” Janet said, turning her head aside. Her ears turned red, and she felt itchy.

She told Ethan about what happened in the company today. After listening to everything, Ethan buried his head in the crook of her neck. “It’s good that your boss is willing to help you. I’m sure he can solve the problem,” he said in a muffled voice.

“I still don’t understand why Brandon wants to help me. In fact, I’m kind of afraid of him,” Janet said, shaking her head quizzically. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re just overthinking this. As the CEO of the company, he must protect the company’s interests first. Perhaps he doesn’t want your personal issues to come in the way of your work. Solving such a trivial problem would be a piece of cake for him.”

Janet cast a skeptical look at him as her heart sank with dejection.

Ethan was always calm whenever she mentioned Brandon. He was a possessive husband. However, he seemed tolerant of Brandon. She just couldn’t understand why.

Ethan looked up at her. His unfathomable eyes bore into hers. He smiled and bit her earlobe, wrapping his arms around her. “Didn’t you say that you would cook a delicious meal for me? Or do you want to go to my room first?”

He wondered if she’d be able to come out after they went in.

Janet’s eyelashes fluttered. She blinked and shyly pushed him away. “We have nothing in the fridge. Wait for me at home. I’ll go and buy some groceries right away.”

Ethan pressed himself against her. With Janet’s slender legs wrapped around his waist, he grabbed her fingers resting on his chest and kissed them. “Don’t buy anything. I just want to eat you. Will you allow me?”

Janet’s face turned red as she felt something hard poke her hip. “No, no. I’m still on my period…”

Ethan shook his head and chuckled. He gently bit her lip and finally got up. The plain white T-shirt clinging onto his body revealed his pert, chiseled abs.

Janet quickly got up and hurriedly smoothed her dress. ‘Gosh, he is like a dog who is constantly biting me.’

Ethan sat up and looked at her. “How about I come with you?”

“No, no. I can go on my own.”

Janet’s mind went blank, and her body was burning. She quickly smoothed her coat and darted out of the house.
