Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1091

"You don't look well, Janet. What's wrong?" Cup of coffee in hand, Elizabeth approached Janet. Her knee caught the edge of Janet's suitcase.

"Sorry," Janet said, quickly moving her suitcase. She stared at the steaming coffee on the table, lost in thought.

Noticing that Janet seemed strangely vacant, Elizabeth waved her hand and said, "What's on your mind? You haven't heard a word I've said, have you?" "I'm sorry. I just didn't sleep well last night. Don't worry." Janet returned to her senses, smiled, and tried to concentrate on her work.

"Well, I should get back to work." Elizabeth looked at Janet and then at the suitcase. Shaking her head, she returned to her desk.

At dusk, when most of her colleagues had left, Janet packed up her things. She didn't know where she should go, so she decided to find a hotel for the time being.

Elizabeth hadn't left. When she saw Janet struggling with the suitcase, she asked, "Would you like to stay at my aunt's place tonight, Janet? She hasn't seen you for such a long time and keeps asking when you'll visit."

Earlier, Elizabeth had spoken to Draco and established that Janet wasn't due to go on a business trip. Janet's reason for bringing a suitcase to the studio was not work related. Had she quarreled with Brandon?

Janet liked Sophia, Elizabeth's aunt, but was still hesitant. "But aren't you going on a date?"

She had heard a car horn outside, and when she checked who it was, she saw Frank. He must have

come to collect Elizabeth for a date.

"It doesn't matter. It's not an important date." Elizabeth smiled.

Frank was making her angry recently. Elizabeth thought she could use this opportunity to punish him.

Noticing that Janet was still unsure, Elizabeth picked up her suitcase and said, "Let's go. You don't have to tell me what happened if you don't want to. But we're friends, okay? At least let me stay with you."

"What about your date with Frank?" Janet asked. In an apologetic tone, she added, "I can stay in a hotel."

Elizabeth grabbed her hand, and they went downstairs together. "Don't worry. Frank will be fine about it."
