Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1094

The living room's television channel was in flux, shifting and morphing into something new.

Sophia let out a tired yawn, feeling heavy-eyed. Janet urged her to rest, so Sophia slowly began her walk to retire for the night.

The front door then opened and closed shut. Janet looked up and noticed that Elizabeth had returned from seeing Frank off downstairs.

A sense of unease crept over Janet as she asked, "Is Frank upset?"

The realization suddenly dawned on her that she had been too harsh on Frank.

"He's not upset. He left with a smile on his face," Elizabeth said as she walked over, sat down, and switched the TV channel. "He won't inform Brandon about it, so don't worry. Just stay here."

"I already told Frank in the kitchen earlier. Please don't take it out on him because of me. I can handle my issues with Brandon." Janet was anxious that Frank and Elizabeth might argue because of her.

"It's fine. Despite Frank's usual aloofness, he's quite timid. I was only trying to shake him a bit, and he quickly promised not to tell Brandon," Elizabeth chuckled and explained.

"You two seem to get along well." A smile graced Janet's lips. As she realized they were alone, her thoughts soon drifted back to Brandon.

Elizabeth noticed she was preoccupied and hesitantly asked, "Did you and Brandon fight? Usually, you two seem to have a good relationship. For you to have run away from home, something big

must have happened."

Janet was seated on the sofa, feeling depressed. Elizabeth couldn't tell what was going through Janet's mind, but a tinge of sadness was visible on her beautiful profile. Once someone who loved to talk and laugh, Janet was now unusually quiet and withdrawn.

"It's not that big of a deal." Janet didn't want to discuss it any further.

As Janet withdrew from the conversation, Elizabeth's expression grew increasingly solemn. She had a sinking feeling that something terrible had happened to her friend. Worried, Elizabeth asked hastily, "Please tell me the truth, Janet. Is it bad? What did Brandon do to you? Did... Did he assault you?"

Janet shook her head with a faint smile, deciding she shouldn't disclose to others that Brandon had once suffered from amnesia. She didn't delve into the details but replied, "No, he didn't physically hurt me. Don't worry too much. However, he hid something significant from me. Everyone around him was aware, and I was the only one left in the dark for a long time, like an idiot. That's why I'm mad."
