The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 812 Vera Is Mad

Garrett could tell that Laney was not as jolly as she used to be. He had been learning a lot ever since Laney got pregnant. Apparently, many women often felt depressed during pregnancy. At the thought of this, Garret became even more concerned about his wife.

Before he could finish his words, his phone on the table vibrated.

Laney glanced at the phone screen and handed it to Garrett. "Your mom's calling. You should answer it. She might have something important to tell you."

Garret stroked Laney's hair and did as told.

"Garrett, where are you? Go back to the company for the meeting now. Stop wasting your time on useless things,’ Vera calmly said, though her words meant otherwise.

"I'm doing the most important thing in the world now," Garrett replied with a smile.

He then pulled Laney into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.

Laney smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Vera seemed to suddenly fly into a rage. “Fine. Do whatever you want. Who am I to you anyway? I'm just your mother and I don't think it’s my place to tell you what to do!"
