Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1130

Janet knew Brandon struggled to fall asleep because of work pressures. However, she had never known him to take medicine for his insomnia.

Brandon understood the side effects of sleeping pills. He wouldn't take them unless he absolutely had no choice.

"Is your condition getting worse again?" Janet asked. She shook the bottle and then looked into Brandon's eyes. She hoped he wouldn't lie to her again.

"It has nothing to do with my illness. I suffer from insomnia." Brandon reclined on the bed. He rested his head on his arm and said, "I don't want to be controlled by this drug, but I have to be alert for work. Every day is intense at the Larson Group, so I need at least some sleep at night."

"Brandon, you know these pills are addictive." Chewing her lower lip, Janet wanted to throw the medicine bottle in his face.

"Hear me out before you lose your temper." Brandon grabbed the medicine bottle, smiled, and pulled her into his arms.

Janet struggled, lost her balance, and fell into his embrace. She pinched his chest and complained, "Okay, I'm all ears. What excuses are you planning to make this time?"

Brandon played with the medicine bottle. "I started taking them recently. Frank prescribed them and the side effects are minimal. If you are worried, you can ask Frank."

"Frank wouldn't discuss your case with me. Even if he did, I wouldn't trust him. You might have colluded with each other. You are not allowed to

take the medicine." Janet grabbed the medicine bottle. "I'm confiscating it!"

Brandon smiled seductively and pinched Janet's chin. "If you come back, I won't take the medicine. I sleep better with you beside me."

Janet's ears turned red. Her eyes glistened with saline, and she pursed her lips. "Go to bed. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

Janet struggled to get up, but Brandon hugged her tighter. "So, you'll have to give me an answer tomorrow. I need you to forgive me. It's agony when we're like this."

Janet nodded, thinking he would let go of her. Instead, Brandon maneuvered her onto her back.

"What the hell do you want? It's getting late." Janet frowned. Her view of the ceiling was blocked by Brandon.

Cupping her jaw and stroking her chin, Brandon whispered, "Have you missed me?" His breath tickled her ear.
