President's Substitute Wife

“Oh.” I did not say anything.

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

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.

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.

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...
