Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1127

As soon as Janet got off work, she rushed to Malus Bay. As usual, her villa was empty. Brandon's villa which stood next to hers, however, was brightly lit, and the aroma of the dishes filled the air.

With a frown, Janet walked over and knocked on the door, only to find that it was unlocked. She pushed it open and saw Hannah placing knives and forks on the dinner table.

"You came back just in time. I'll prepare two more dishes and then we can have dinner." Hannah wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the kitchen with a big smile on her face.

Janet quickly held Hannah's arm and assisted her to sit down. "Didn't you say that you would wait for me to return to cook? Please, just sit here and wait for the food to be served."

She untied Hannah's apron and then wrapped her hair into a bun. Then, she glanced at the dishes on the table and eagerly rubbed her hands together. "I'll cook a few more of your favorite dishes. Just give me a little time."

Hannah couldn't stop Janet in time. She'd forgotten to tell her that Brandon was also in the kitchen.

Shortly after Janet entered the kitchen, Brandon sent out the servants who had been helping in there to go do other chores.

Only the two of them were left in the kitchen now, and the atmosphere was tense with awkwardness.

For some reason, Janet became uneasy. Her eyebrows twitched, and the blade of the knife she was holding almost touched her finger. "Did you bring Hannah here on purpose?"

What was he up to? Did he bring Hannah here as a mediator? It was obvious, however, that Hannah had no idea that Janet was not on good terms with Brandon.

"I picked her up for a reason. She took care of you when you were a child, so I need to take care of her now on your behalf. She deserves to live a happy retired life." Brandon had already planned to take Hannah to Barnes, however it escaped him because he first had to figure out how to get rid of Vivian. As a result, he hadn't quite had the time to make proper arrangements.

"There's no one taking care of her now. I'll make sure to find a help in Barnes to take very good care of her while she enjoyed her retirement here." Brandon strode towards Janet and suddenly lowered his head. The pair gazed at each other. The burning desire in Brandon's eyes made her blush. The corners of her eyes were a little red because she had been cutting onions.

"Why're you standing so close to me? Move back!" Janet's voice trembled as she leaned back subconsciously.
