The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

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. However, the mother immediately patted his hand and shook her head. 

“You already have a cavity, little one. You can’t have sweets until the dentist fills 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. 

After paying for the umbrella, she headed to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraception. They had sex less than a day ago; she couldn’t take the risk. As soon as she got home, she quickly took the pills and then sat there, not knowing what to do next. 

If she stayed in Barnes, she’d inevitably run into Garrett. After thinking for a while, Laney soon came to the conclusion that she had to leave. Last night had made it clear that she couldn’t control herself around Garrett.
