The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Fine,” Laney finally said.

Soon, the car pulled into Garrett‘s mansion.

As soon as Garrett got out of the car, he opened the door and grabbed Laney‘s arm, pulling her into the house.

“I live here alone.Do you want me to show you around?”

“No, thanks.Just tell me which room I‘ll be staying.I can also take the couch if needed,” Laney said flatly As she spoke, she headed straight to the closed curtain and peeked through the crack vigilantly.

“They‘re lurking outside.I doubt they‘ll give up.Do you have a gun here?”

Now that Garrett was home, he felt safe and dropped his guard.He took off his glasses, picked up a bag of chips on the table, and turned on the TV.

As he casually stuffed chips into his mouth, he said absent–mindedly, “I don‘t have any weapons here.This is the twenty–first century.We‘re all civilized people.”

“Why don‘t you ask your assistant to send us some guns? I know you have access to the arms industry.If those guys make a move, I could protect you if I have a weapon.”

Standing by the window vigilantly, Laney looked at Garrett, who was lying on the sofa and watching TV.

With his glasses off, Garrett looked less refined and more down–to–earth.He was thirty years old, but there was still a bit of teenage spirit in his eyes.

Despite this, his jaw was firm and his eyebrows were straight.Now that she was getting a closer look at him, Laney found that he seemed really matured and handsome.

“Don‘t worry about it.This is my place.We‘re safe here.Relax.Do you want some snacks? Chips, chocolates, biscuits—whatever you like.My pantry‘s fully stocked.” Garrett gestured at Laney with a bag of potato chips in his hand.

Laney was bewildered.She had never seen this side of Garrett before.
