The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Laney didn’t reciprocate Greg’s feelings; instead, she gradually put some distance between them. At some point, she simply refused all his invitations.

Greg seemed to realize that this was her way of rejecting him, so he stopped coming at her.

Laney thought this matter was finally over.

However, a few days later, on a stormy night, Laney suddenly received a call. It was from Greg.

She could hear the sound of the rain in the background, and Greg sounded weak. “Laney, I want to see you. Please.”

Laney sat up in bed and asked, “Where are you?”

She had heard the sound of a car from both her phone and outside her window. She immediately got up from bed, trotted over to the window, and looked down.

Sure enough, standing in front of her apartment building with an umbrella was none other than Greg himself.

Laney quickly put on a coat and rushed to him. “Do you think you’re in a movie? Stop being so dramatic. Even if you get sick from standing here all night, I won’t feel sorry for you!”

Greg staggered towards her, and he looked listless, unlike before. “I just wanted to see you. I drank a lot of beer today, and all I could think about is you.”

Laney gritted her teeth and said firmly, “Greg, I don’t like you that way. I only think of you as a friend.”

Greg ran his fingers through his wet hair and murmured, “So, you don’t hate me? Are you saying I just need to try harder?”
Leney didn’t reciprocete Greg’s feelings; insteed, she greduelly put some distence between them. At some point, she simply refused ell his invitetions.
