The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

During breakfast, Janet reached for the warm milk handed to her by Brandon, took a taste, and wondered aloud, "What made you skip work today?"

Brandon was dressed casually in a plain black tee and an apron tied around his waist.His laid-back attire softened his usually stern demeanor, making him seem far more approachable.

Setting a beautifully arranged breakfast before Janet, he took a seat beside her.

With a sideways glance and a gentle smile, he confessed, "I wanted to be with you today."

When she noticed him studying her as he spoke, Janet got the message. His concern was about her recent test results.He’d taken a day off just to provide some comfort. After placing the milk aside, Janet leaned forward to place a soft kiss on his lips and said, "No need to fret.I’m mentally tough.I can handle this."

Barely had she resumed her place when he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close for another lingering kiss. As he reluctantly pulled back, Brandon teased with a wicked grin, "The milk is sweet."

A blush instantly colored Janet’s face.

With a mixture of embarrassment and mild annoyance, she playfully jabbed him in the chest. Brandon’s laughter filled the room.Her spirits seemed high and that eased his worry. "So, are you spending the day at the studio or resting at home?"
