President's Substitute Wife

“Oh.” I did not say anything.

Even though this was an obvious excuse, I don’t want to expose it.

After all, knowing the truth didn’t do me any good.

When he saw that I did not continue to ask, he asked me again, “Don’t you say that you recently participated in a design competition with a friend? How did you meet her?”

“We have already registered on the website, and we will be notified two days later, so I took the time to meet Marcia to discuss the wedding.” I lowered my eyes and said, “After all, this should be the last time in my life to get married. After thinking about it carefully, I think I should be careful.”

I said this just to hope that Ming was happy.

He seemed to be in a better mood to hear that.

In the afternoon, he took me to Arthur to discuss the case of Inez Fanning and Marlin Carter. After all, in a few months, the first trial will begin.

I had a firm attitude toward this case.

Whatever the result was, I didn’t care.

I will know the topic of the design competition tomorrow.

I took my computer and design tools to Linda’s office. I was ready to do my best in the design competition.

When everything was done, I made a cup of coffee.

Just after I took a sip, Linda asked me behind me, “Becky, this design competition lasts 30 days and is very urgent. If the plan cannot be determined at one time, we must work overtime if we want to ensure the completion. What about your son? Can he leave you?”

When it came to this, I was stunned.

I took it for granted that I planned to work during the day and stayed with Lester at night.

But when Linda said that, I realized I could not.

If nothing had happened recently, I would definitely give Lester to Ming, but now I was not assured.

He would not hurt Lester, but...

“How about bringing your son here with my baby? My family has a babysitter, and one or two children are the same.” Linda suggested.

“That is not
