The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

It still rained heavily outside.

The second Laney stepped out of the club, the cool breeze chilled her to the bone. She rubbed her arms and ran to the nearest convenience store to buy an umbrella.

As she was about to pay, she saw a mother with her child nearby. The child seemed to want to buy the candy bar on the shelf, so he reached out to take it.

Having been stopped, the child immediately burst into tears. The mother shot Laney an apologetic smile and pulled the little tyke out of the store.

The cashier smiled helplessly. “Kids, am I right?”

Laney smiled back subconsciously, but then the smile froze on her face.

It suddenly dawned on her that last night, Garrett didn’t wear a condom.
