The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Janet was a stubborn woman.Not only was she angry with Ethan, but she was also displeased that he was speaking to her in that tone.She shook off his hand and smoothed her hair which had been messed up by the cold night breeze.

After she put her hair behind her ears, she faced him squarely.

"Mind your words, Ethan.This might be a hotel, but it came with the restaurant downstairs.Kent booked a table in the restaurant and we were just having dinner.I’ve done nothing else with him.Or did you catch me doing anything out of line?"

Ethan suppressed his anger when he realized that he had been too harsh and his wife was getting angrier.

He fixed his eyes on her and said softly, "You should have declined his invitation."

"You and I know this is not just an ordinary invitation.It’s for work.Kent and I have to work together in the future.There’s no way I can decline seeing him always."

Janet lowered her eyes to stare at the ground.

The warm gleam in Ethan’s eyes and his soft voice made her feel guilty.

"I get that, but you should have told me in advance.You shouldn’t have hung up the phone without giving me a chance to talk.How do you think that makes me feel?" Ethan queried calmly.

Janet’s anger which was previously dying down was reignited by his last sentence.
