The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Janet saw that Laney’s face was slightly pale and she looked more fragile and beautiful. She suddenly had the urge to protect her. 

After pursing her lips, she said, “Miss Garcia, please pardon me for not coming before now to express my gratitude to you for saving my life. I didn’t have the strength to get out of bed previously. I’m here to thank you and also invite you for lunch.” Laney readily accepted the invitation. 

The three of them went to a restaurant near the hospital and had lunch.

The bright sun rays reflected on the glass windows of the restaurant. A few people were inside at that time. The tantalizing aroma of different foods, snacks, and drinks filled the air.

Janet sat next to her husband, while Laney sat directly opposite her. Ethan took the teapot and poured some tea for them.

The two women chatted happily.

 “Miss Garcia, what do you do for a living? Which company do you work for?” Janet asked inquisitively.

To buy some time, Laney took a sip of tea and stole a glance at Ethan. They had both discussed what she would say to Janet, but she didn’t want it to seem too prompt.

 “Well, I used to be a secretary. But the company I worked for laid off a huge chunk of their staff and I got fired. Currently, I am job hunting,” Laney replied straightforwardly and then set down the teacup carefully.
