The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 415

The dark circles under Ethan’s eyes were telling of how exhausted he was. When he saw Janet come in, he blinked nervously.

Holding up the paper bag of food, he said hesitantly, “Let’s have breakfast.”

Suddenly, Janet felt a lump in her throat.

It was obvious that Ethan had been standing here waiting for her for a whole night.

Janet lowered her head, trying to hide the mixed feelings in her eyes.

“You can eat by yourself,” she said indifferently, pulling out the room card and closing the door. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She was still undeniably angry with Ethan. Seeing that he had waited outside her door only annoyed her even more. “Mr. Larson, don’t get in my way, okay?”

Ethan had kept his identity a secret from her. In a word, he had deceived her.

It was all just so ridiculous! She didn’t even care whether she was Ethan’s wife or Brandon’s for they were the very same person. What she did care was Ethan didn’t trust her and lied to her!

If they were just ordinary friends or strangers on the road, it would’ve been fine for Ethan to conceal his secret identity as Brandon. But they were a couple who lived under the same roof. Ethan had never considered her feelings.

“Janet, can we find a time to talk it through?” With his arm on the door, Ethan lowered his head and seemed to want to say something, but he frowned, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Without answering him, Janet looked away, walked past him and left.

Janet walked the streets aimlessly, surrounded by crowds of people.

When she made it to a rental agency, she paced back and forth outside restlessly.

“Miss, are you looking to rent a house? Come on in. We have many good houses that are fit for anyone’s budget.” An agent opened the door and greeted Janet with a smile.

Janet hesitated, wondering if she should get her own apartment.

She couldn’t live in Ethan’s villa anymore. Just the thought of going back there angered her.

He had told her countless lies. He was a liar!

But she didn’t enter the rental agency just yet. Her things were still in the villa, so she had to go back to get them first.

As for her job at the Larson Group, Janet was not in the mood to work at all. Her mind was a complete mess. So she texted Tiffany and asked her for a leave.

Moreover, many senior executives of the Larson Group had found out yesterday about her relationship with Brandon, and she wasn’t in the mood to face them.

In a daze, Janet hailed a taxi and went back to the villa to pack up her things.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Laney at the gate to the villa.

Sitting on the steps outside, Laney stood up at once when she saw Janet approaching.

“Janet, why didn’t you go to work today? I was so worried about you.”

Laney’s concern was genuine. She had learned from Garrett that Ethan’s identity had been exposed, so she immediately came to see Janet. But Janet never came home, nor did she answer her phone calls. So Laney settled for waiting for her here.

“Hello, Miss Garcia. I’m fine.” A faint smile appeared on Janet’s face.

Truth be told, she wasn’t as angry with Laney as with Ethan. She was just disappointed with her.

She had considered Laney her good friend, but it turned out that she was just a bodyguard hired by Ethan. Come to think about it, Laney was probably only here to fulfill her duty to protect her client.

“Miss Garcia, aren’t you tired of protecting me twenty-four hours a day? I don’t need anyone to protect me now,” Janet said with an indifferent smile.
