Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1051

Derek entered the ward, parading the fruits and flowers in his hands. Meanwhile, Gilda decided to wait for him in the corridor just outside the ward.

Derek discretely reminded Janet he had to discuss something important with Brandon alone. Janet did what she was asked and went out first.

What could they be talking about?

Janet almost pressed her face against the door in an attempt to see what was going on inside through a gap in the door.

"Mrs. Larson, eavesdropping is impolite," Gilda suddenly said from behind Janet.

Janet sprung to her full height, desperate to explain herself but unaware of how to as she blushed in embarrassment.

Gilda let out a chuckle. "I won't tell anyone."

All the while, the situation inside was way different from what Janet imagined.

"What's up, bro? How's your condition? Well, your ruddy complexion tells me you're feeling much better now. Are you?"

Derek was unfiltered. He placed the things he brought, and then settled on an empty seat.

Brandon sorted out the pile of documents, taking time to talk to Derek. "If you're only here to pay a visit, you can go now that you've seen me."

A frown crumpled Derek's face. Somehow, he felt belittled and that did not sit right with him. "I'm here to tell you that I will not bother Janet anymore. You can rest assured in the future."

Brandon put down the documents and said, "You finally decided to retreat. That's a good thing. Next time, if you're going to chase after a girl, make sure she isn't a married woman."

Derek did not sense any anger in Brandon's words. There wasn't even a hint of emotion directed at him. His plan totally failed.

Frustrated, he leaned back on his spot, complaining. "Hey, did you already I would stop chasing after Janet? You didn't look surprised at all!"

Brandon did know, in a way. Janet seemed to be in a good mood these past few days. She was always either at W Marks or the hospital, taking care of him. She never once mentioned Derek whenever she told him about her day.

Brandon assumed Derek had been keeping his distance from Janet since the car accident. Perhaps he had given up on her from that day on.
