Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1050

"Derek, stop it!" Janet said as she tried to match Derek's pace. "My husband is still recovering. Don't disturb him."

Derek was behaving like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. "Really? Why can't I visit him? Why is the CEO of Larson Group so narrow-minded?"

When he saw that Janet looked like she was going to lose her temper, Derek hurriedly added, "Please, don't get mad. That was a joke. I just came to express my gratitude to Brandon for saving my life. I even brought my girlfriend with me. I'm definitely not going to pester you like I did before."

Janet finally noticed a tall, beautiful woman with curly hair standing behind him as he spoke. She was slender and stunning, with a height and a disposition that complimented Derek's.

Before Janet could utter a word, the curly-haired woman hit Derek while protesting, "I don't recall agreeing to be your girlfriend yet! Don't just go telling people that I'm already your girlfriend!"

"Gilda, please! We are in public!" Derek complained. "Stop embarrassing me!"

Ignoring Derek, Gilda Greville smiled at Janet and said, "We are still getting to know each other. However, we aren't really dating yet. Please, Mrs. Larson. Don't believe him."

"How do you know who I am?" Janet was caught off guard. Did Derek tell Gilda about her and how he had been trying to woo her in the past?

Gilda smiled and said, "I'm in the same line of work as Derek... I'm a model. I also watched the Iridescent Show and the wonderful W Marks Studio

collections."

Oh, right. Gilda was a model. She'd probably heard the rumors about Derek then. Or hadn't she?

Janet wasn't one to interfere in other people's affairs. She just grieved at the thought of this beautiful woman getting involved with such a notorious playboy.

"If that will be all, I will be on my way to bring my husband his dinner." It was getting late. Janet didn't have much time to spare talking to them. However, Derek stopped her from entering the ward.

"I have something important to say to Brandon," Derek said as he pulled Janet back, holding on firmly to her wrist.
