The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

The expression on Ethan’s face frightened Janet. Her heart leaped to her throat.

She took a piece of tissue and wiped her lips, pretending to be calm. “Why are you stopping me?” I’m in urgent need of money now; I have no other choice.”

Ethan’s eyes smoldered with anger. “How much money do you want? I’m your husband. If you’re going through any problems, why can’t you tell me? Why would you do something like that?”

Janet had been short of money ever since she was a child.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and looked at him. “We are husband and wife only to the outside world. You have already said that we shouldn’t interfere in each other’s business. What makes you think I’d share my problems with you and even ask for money?”

Her words silenced Ethan.

He rubbed his brows, and his chest tightened with unease. He stood up and looked at her. “Let’s calm down first and then solve this problem.”

Ethan closed the door and went out. The cold summer breeze and the chirping of cicadas filled the air.

Ethan took a deep breath, and the sweet scent of roses filled his nostrils. Janet had planted them on the balcony.
