The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

The waiting game was always the hardest.

Ethan sat with Janet in one of the corridors of the hospital.

It was mid-January by then and still a bit cold. Johanna wore a dark green maxi dress with a white cashmere coat on top. Her eyes kept darting between Janet and the man next to her as they waited.

Brandon Larson. She had seen his face in their wedding photos on the news, but she didn’t like him very můch. Brandon was indeed a handsome man, but Johanna didn’t think that was a good thing. Rich, good-looking men more often than not turned out to be playboys. And Brandon was rich, handsome, and successful. He had to be a scheming person, right?

On the other hand, Janet was a kind and lovely girl. She could easily have been played by Brandon.

But now that she, Johanna, was here for Janet, she would never let Brandon bully Janet.

Whenever their eyes met, it was hard to tell which one of them was the dominant one. Soon, a man with glasses and in his mid-fifties arrived. He looked like a well-read gentleman.

In fact, he looked pretty plain. But his eyes were bright and had a certain look of wisdom to them.
