Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1002

With a poker face, Brandon declared, "I knew you went to Vivian to get some information."

When Sean realized Brandon had grasped his meaning, he was greatly moved. Eventually, after much effort, he succeeded in getting Brandon to appreciate his efforts.

Just as Sean was basking in his own thoughts, Brandon suddenly spoke in a more serious tone, his eyes emanating a cold light. "But Vivian isn't someone to be trifled with, especially if she really has ties to that pharmacologist. It's extremely dangerous. If we approach Vivian without being well-prepared, it could even raise her suspicions."

After dining with Vivian the previous night, Sean had also come to this realization. He had been impulsive and failed to appreciate the gravity of the situation. "I won't be as reckless as I was last night," he vowed.

Just then, the doctor entered the room. Sean leaned back on the sofa to cooperate with the doctor's examination.

It was only then that Sean had a chance to rest. As he calmed down, his mind became much clearer. Suddenly, the events of the previous night came back to him.

Sean's face gradually turned grim, and the doctor was at a loss as to the cause of this sudden shift. He cautiously inquired, "Are you feeling unwell or something? Tell me where it hurts."

Sean took a deep breath and his face darkened as if he had remembered something extremely unpleasant.

It wasn't because of a physical issue, but rather as the memories returned, Sean slowly remembered what had happened the previous night.

He had confessed his love to Estella and kissed her, but then fell asleep and didn't take things further. The next day, he said he needed to be responsible for her.

"Ah!!! This is so embarrassing!" Sean scratched his head and yelled. It was mortifying. He wished he could just vanish.
