The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 432

“How could you believe a word of what Charis says?”

Ethan shook his head in disappointment.

Sometimes he wished Janet wasn’t so easily manipulated.

“I knew she was up to no good, but what she said was true.” Janet’s eyes darkened.

Ethan squeezed her cheeks and looked at her sullen face carefully. As his eyes fell on her pink lips, he said, “Can’t you tell that she desperately wants you to leave me?”

Janet turned her head away, pouting her lips.

“Don’t touch me, Mr. Larson. I’m a married woman. I should warn you that my husband is very good at fighting. If he finds out about this, he’s going to pin you against the wall and teach you a lesson.” Clearly, Janet was still mad at him.

Ethan turned a deaf ear to her words. He grabbed her leg and slowly moved to the gap between her thighs.

Although Janet was wearing jeans, she could still feel the warmth of his hand.

With his strong arms, Ethan put down the passenger seat and pressed his body against hers.

“Ethan!” Shocked, Janet clamped her legs and propped up her elbow on each knee.

“I’m the only one who gets to spoil you.” Ethan pinched Janet’s legs and then moved his hands to her waist. He leaned down and rubbed his nose against Janet’s. “What are you afraid of? Have I ever forced you? If I had known earlier, I would have made love to you already. If I can’t have your heart, then at least, I could have had your body.”

“Don’t say that,” Janet scolded him in a low voice. It was as though Ethan’s old roguish self had returned.

She knew she shouldn’t care about what Charis said either, but she couldn’t help it. After all, Charis sounded very convincing.

Like a magic spell, her words kept repeating in Janet’s mind.

Looking closely at her fluttering eyelashes, Ethan raised his hand and gently smoothened her knitted brows.

“I know you still have doubts, but you can go back with me first. It’s okay if you don’t want to work in the Larson Group, but you have to stay with me.”

Ethan’s words softened her heart.

Maybe she just couldn’t say no to this man.

Now that this man had come all the way here chasing after her, she could never escape him. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

After tidying up her messy clothes, Ethan took Janet back into the airport.

His private plane had been waiting there for a long time.

It was the first time Janet had ever been on a private plane and she was nervous. Ethan put his arms around her and said, “You’ll be taking private planes more often in the future.”

Pretending as though she didn’t hear him, Janet kept silent. In truth, she didn’t want to be so close to Ethan.

Although she had no choice but to play along and go back with him, she panicked at the thought of what she would do later.

It was already eleven o’clock in the evening when they arrived in Seacisco.

Ethan dropped Janet off in front of the villa. Having no intention to go inside, he simply said, “You can either wait for me or get some sleep. There’s something I have to take care of at the company.” Ethan’s face darkened at the thought of who he would have to face later.

Biting her lips nervously, Janet looked down in disappointment, but she nodded her assent in response.

She wasn’t used to the fact that Ethan was actually Brandon, but she was willing to try and understand him from another perspective.

After all, the Larson Group was one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. The pressure of having to hold such a high standard must have been exhausting.

“Be good and I’ll be back soon, okay?” Ethan rubbed Janet’s ear gently and winked at her before he got in the Maybach.
