The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Ethan brushed the snow off his shoulders and emerged from the bushes.

He was wearing a long face, and he was carrying a bag of food that had clearly gone cold. Dressed in a luxurious suit, his image was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he looked like a warm partner who had prepared breakfast for his lover. On the other hand, he also looked like a mature and steady socialite.

Ethan didn’t answer Laney. The truth was he had been following Janet ever since she left the hotel. He just didn’t show himself until Janet was inside the villa.

Laney approached him anxiously. Considering how Ethan was her employer, it wasn’t her place to judge him. She could only shake her head wryly and say, “Mr. Larson, you’ve really done it this time. No wonder she’s so angry. But I think you can still fix things. Go and apologize to her right now.”

Ethan wasn’t good at expressing his feelings. He could only nod and say, “Janet only spoke out of anger just now. Your contract hasn’t expired, so you still have to protect her at all times.”

Laney smiled. “Even without you telling me, I would’ve protected her to the ends of the earth.”

Looking at the closed door to the villa, she added softly, “Because she’s my best friend.”
