The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 1053 A New Beginning

Derek dragged Gilda out of the hospital angrily to somewhere that was quieter. He then let go of her hand and complained, “How dare Brandon vent his anger at me! I have never been treated like that by anyone before!”

Although the sun shone brightly in Barnes today, the chilly winter winds could still make people shiver.

Gilda was slender, and her dress was blown wildly against the wind. She held herself tightly to keep herself warm as her body shivered slightly from the piercing cold wind.

Derek saw her shivering and quickly took off his coat, wrapping it around her thin shoulders. “Wilder should be arriving soon. Let’s just wait a little longer,” he assured her.

Gilda smiled at Derek’s graciousness. She then glanced towards the door of the in-patient department and tugged Derek’s sleeve. “Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Janet? Are you just going to leave like this?” she asked in confusion.

Derek choked and darted his eyes away guiltily. He hurriedly changed the topic as he didn’t want to admit that Gilda was right. “I don’t know what you are talking about. Anyway, are you hungry? Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the new French restaurant last time? How about I take you there now?”

“Oh, you still remembered. Thanks, but I don’t want to have dinner with you. I don’t want to date a man with another woman in his heart,” Gilda said coldly and walked away.
