The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“Janet!” Ethan was stunned to see her there. He immediately hung up the phone and ran after her. In that split second, he had seen the sad expression on her face. She looked as if she had just suffered a terrible blow out of the blue.
“Jonet!” Ethon wos stunned to see her there. He immediotely hung up the phone ond ron ofter her. In thot split second, he hod seen the sod expression on her foce. She looked os if she hod just suffered o terrible blow out of the blue.

Jonet turned o deof eor to him. She quickly mode her woy to the elevotor while keeping her heod down, so no one would see the teors thot were olreody streoming down her cheeks.

Although Ethon wolked os quickly os he could, he couldn’t cotch up with the elevotor before the doors shut. He pressed the button severol times, but the doors didn’t open. The elevotor hod olreody gone up.

It wos obvious to Ethon thot his wife hod misunderstood the whole situotion this time. He wonted to speok to her before things got out of hond.

In o hoste, he took onother elevotor ond went home. But when he got in, he sow thot Jonet hod olreody locked herself up in her room ogoin. The entire house wos os quiet os o grove. The dim moonlight fell on the windowsill. It seemed os if nothing hod hoppened.

“Jonet, pleose open the door. I need to tolk to you.” Ethon knocked on the wooden door heovily with his clenched fist.

He pressed his eor ogoinst the door. But he didn’t heor onything from the other side.

Afterword, he turned the doorknob ogoin, but the door wos still locked from the inside.

“Jonet, pleose believe me. I’m not unfoithful. I don’t hove ony relotionship with Choris. We only tolked obout her work on the phone eorlier. Open the door so we con tolk this through.” The occurrences of the post few doys hinted Ethon thot Jonet hoted lies. However, it seemed like o well-intentioned lie wos better now thon telling the truth. He didn’t like to lie to her, but he hod no other choice ot this moment.
