The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Laney smiled and put her number on Greg‘s phone.Since then, Greg had been calling and texting her almost on a daily basis.

"I haven‘t been around much since I moved to Barnes.Do you know any scenic spots here? If you do, can you show me around some time? I'll pay you for your time!" The extroverted Greg was good at conversing.

When speaking to him, one could always feel at ease.Laney hadn‘t been in the city for long, so she answered him honestly.

"I‘ve only been here a month.I‘ve never been anywhere except home and work."

After thinking for a while, Greg suddenly suggested, "Then let‘s get familiar with the city together.I can go with you everywhere."

Laney didn‘t find such a proposal strange.She viewed Greg as a friend, so she agreed readily.

"Sure.My schedule‘s been pretty free lately anyway."

And so the two of them went and visited several famous tourist spots in Barnes.It was a sunny day in April.

Standing by the river, one could see the vast endlessness of the cloudless blue sky.As the summer breeze washed over them, the two felt really relaxed.

"Did you see those two stone lions at the gate of the museum? They looked just like the ones at the training grounds we used to go to.I remember that you used to like climbing on top of it and barking orders at us like a commander." It seemed that Greg really missed the good old days.

Whenever he talked about the past, he‘d wear a dreamy, wistful smile.It was so long ago that Laney had forgotten all about it.

"Are they still there? I haven‘t been back in so long!"

With a sad smile, Greg shook his head.
