The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Is your mom mad?” Laney worriedly asked.

Garrett pushed the plate towards her and assured her, “Don’t mind her. Let’s continue eating.”

Laney nodded in response. But then, her phone rang this time. The moment she answered the call, Vera’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Hello-“

“Laney, I don’t want to be mad at you. You’re my son’s wife now. But as his wife, you should behave yourself. Let him go to work, and don’t distract him. Our company has a lot of employees, and they have families. They’re hoping that Garrett will give them a job so that they can have money to support their family. Don’t be selfish, please.”

Although Vera’s voice was low and calm, Laney could feel the anger in Vera’s words.

After she hung up the call, Laney nudged Garrett and beckoned to the door, no longer in the mood to eat. “I’m full. You should go back to the company now.”

“How can you be full after only having a few bites? Besides, it’s not every day I get to spend time with you. Don’t push away.”

Garrett wanted to be with his wife for as long as he could.

Laney sighed. “If you don’t go back to the company now, your mother will blame me for it.”

Vera would never let her off.

Meanwhile, Garrett massaged his temples. His current situation was making his head ache. Of course, he did not want his mother to make things difficult for his girl. Even so, there was nothing much he could do about it.

It was Laney who often made concessions but always getting the short end of the stick.

“If I go back to the company now, I won’t be able to help you when you go home alone later,” Garrett explained with a heavy sigh. Suddenly, his face lit up as an idea occurred to him. He looked at Laney with bright eyes and suggested. “I’ve got an idea! You won’t have to worry about getting scolded!”

Laney was actually dubious of his idea even after his explanation. But seeing him so confident, she forced a smile and acquiesced.

At this moment, Garrett patted her on the shoulder and said, “I’ve already paid the bill. I’ll call Kelly to pick you up. Wait for her here, okay?”
