The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

"You haven’t changed at all."

Charis looked down at her glass of wine, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.Ethan swept a glance over the room, then made a point of glancing at his watch.Without another word, he stood up and buttoned his suit jacket.

"It’s getting late, and I still have work to do.Enjoy yourself."

He had only attended the party for formality’s sake.

Charis’ return was no small matter, after all, and Brandon Larson certainly had to be present at het welcome party.

Charis’ head immediately shot up.

"Oh, you’re not done for the day yet?" she blurted out.

"Do you need my help with anything?" They had only been talking for a few minutes.

She was reluctant to see him leave so quickly.Her offer made Ethan frown, but his tone remained polite.

“This party is all about you.There’s no point in you disappearing in an event held in your honor."

In the end, Charis could only sit back and watch dejectedly as Ethan walked away.
