The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“Is it your friend?” Janet wrapped herself in the blanket and sat on the bed. Her face still looked flushed. She pulled the black rubber band on her wrist with her teeth and tied her hair into a messy bun.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong. Charis was a woman’s name. Janet had lived with Ethan for so long, but he had never mentioned any woman, including this Charis. She didn’t think he had a close relationship with any woman.

Besides, considering the woman had called him at this hour, it seemed apparent she had a special relationship with Ethan.

Ethan knew that Charis was returning from abroad. He just didn’t expect to receive a call from her at this hour.

“She’s an acquaintance. I think she has called to tell me something,” Ethan explained briefly. He couldn’t think about anything else when Janet was lying beside him. Her body was soft and tender, as if she had no bones. Although she looked petite, ripples of pleasure had exploded in Ethan’s body as he cupped her warm flesh whilst caressing her smooth skin.

Ethan couldn’t contain his excitement anymore. He leaned closer to kiss her again, but Janet pushed him away.

“Why haven’t you mentioned her before? Why is she calling you late at night?” Janet asked, cocking her head to the side.
