Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1110

"You ran away from home?! What happened? Did he cheat on you?"

Laney knew that Janet wasn't the kind of person to throw a tantrum over nothing. Since she had run away from their home, Brandon surely must have done something that crossed the line.

Laney banged on the table and stood up, biting on her lower lip angrily. Her sharp eyes were teeming with anger. "Call him over right now! Does he think he can mistreat you just because I'm pregnant? I can still fight for my friend!"

"Easy, Laney. You're pregnant now, so don't get angry. You need to be more careful at least for the baby's sake." Janet immediately helped her sit back in her chair. "If Brandon cheated on me, my mom would kill him before you even got the chance to. The reason we fought this time was that he hid something very important from me."

"What happened? You definitely need to spend the night with me and tell me exactly what is going on." Laney craned her neck and called out to Lola. "Lola, pack up all the desserts and put them in the car. We're taking them home."

Lola did as instructed and quickly sent the desserts back to the villa.

"The servants recently went on leave, so the house is a bit messy. I hope you don't mind." Laney opened a shoe cabinet and took out a pair of slippers.

"I don't think it's advisable for you to not have any servants helping you now. You should at least hire some part-time workers." This was the first time

that Janet had been to Laney's new place. Unlike the Harding family's house, it didn't cover a large area and wasn't luxuriously decorated. It felt like home, nonetheless.

"I'll take you upstairs to the baby's room." Upon noticing that Janet's eyes were fixed on the paintings on the wall, Laney subconsciously wished that she wouldn't look at them. "Vera signed me up for art lessons, so those are just some rough sketches I made. Garrett insisted on hanging them up on the wall. Don't pay them any mind."

"Wow, I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful." Janet winked at her. She hadn't seen Garrett since she came in, which was odd. Looking around, she asked, "Where is Garrett, by the way?"

"He has a business dinner tonight and won't be back today. Rest assured that you can spend the night here." Since they returned to the house in a rush, Laney didn't have time to tell Garrett that Janet was coming over.

The pair walked into the baby's room, only to find that it was messier than the outside. Several large brown paper boxes were piled together, and pieces of bubble wrap were everywhere.
