The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

The sight of tears in Janet’s eyes made Ethan panic.

The whole world knew him for his decisiveness, but when he saw Janet’s tears, he didn’t know what to do.

Ethan pulled a tissue from a box on the top of the dashboard and wiped the tears from her face. Then, in a soft voice, he said, “When did I ever say that I didn’t want you to be Brandon’s wife? I told you that I didn’t say anything in the beginning because I was afraid it would put you in danger. Later on, as time went by, I couldn’t tell you because I thought you would be angry at me.”

Janet took the tissue from Ethan’s hand and sniffled slightly, raising her tearful eyes before she replied, “I’m not worthy to be Brandon’s wife.”

A gust of cold wind blew through the window, driving chills down Janet’s body.

Ethan closed the window, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her body before sitting back on the driver’s seat.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and sat there silently for a moment as if he was thinking before he said, “Who told you that?”
