Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1022

Frank looked down at the smudged lipstick with a frown. "What are you talking about? I have a girlfriend. The most gorgeous at that."

At the mention of his girlfriend, Frank's voice rose in worry. "Oh no! I never got a chance to explain to Elizabeth why I had to leave so suddenly tonight."

He glanced at the clock and pulled himself together. "I still have time to explain. Seeing as you're okay, I can leave at ease."

"You sound like you're going to croak," Brandon chuckled, surprised by Frank's uncharacteristic fluster. "Looks like she's the one."

Frank chuckled and then snapped, "If I weren't worried about your life, I should have been with her right now. If anything happens, you know how to reach me."

Before leaving, Frank sternly reminded Brandon, "You can't put off telling Janet about your condition any longer. I have a feeling she's not in a good place emotionally today."

Brandon's frown deepened. His once sparkling eyes were now filled with sadness. He said slowly, "Even you can see that she's feeling down. How could I not notice it?"

"It's not like you, Brandon," said Frank, puzzled.

"Believe me; I was thinking about telling Janet, but... She cried her heart out in my arms for a long time yesterday." Brandon's frown deepened as he thought about the pain on Janet's face. "I'd rather that Janet never knows about my condition. It's not a death sentence. I want to bear everything alone instead of upsetting her. When I recover, I want a baby with her." "Good. It's indeed time to think about having a baby and entering a new phase of your life." Frank smiled. "But I never imagined you'd ever tell me something like that one day."

Well, it was said that everything panned out with time and Brandon's changes were quite a testimony. With someone he cared about, he became much softer.

Frank was lost in thought when his phone suddenly started buzzing wildly.

Even the ringtone seemed full of anger. Frank swallowed and answered, "Elizabeth, it's so late. Why aren't you in bed yet?"
