Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1121

"Brandon, are you home?" Janet asked tentatively as she walked in the villa.

Her voice echoed in the large living room before the place became silent again.

Janet climbed up the stairs and searched every room, but she couldn't find Brandon anywhere.

He had left. He didn't call or text her. He just left without telling her.

Walking over to the sofa, Janet sat down. Although she told Brandon she wanted him to leave, his absence still made her feel uncomfortable.

With a wry smile, she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. After frantically searching for Brandon just now, she was famished. Perhaps, Brandon had only come to her the previous night to fulfil his desires and she had thought too much of it.

The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board was heard as Janet started cooking. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the villa next door through the window and then saw the lights were turned on there.

She found it rather strange because that house had been unoccupied for a while, ever since she moved in. Johanna had even mentioned that most of the houses in the area didn't have buyers because it was far away from the city.

Could it be...

A sudden thought popped into Janet's head, and she became terrified. She immediately stopped what she was doing and ran out of the kitchen to turn on all the lights in her villa.

But then, after thinking for a moment, she realized that she might have overreacted. Her parents knew that she lived there, and they would certainly not let her live in a place where it was not safe. Besides, Malus Bay was known for its security measures. There were patrolling guards who walked around once every hour, so there was nothing for her to be anxious about.

After having dinner, Janet heard her phone ring, so she walked over to the balcony to answer the call.
