Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1229

Brandon agreed to Garrett's request.

Janet had been nervously watching him answer the phone call. The moment Brandon hung up the phone, she asked with concern, "How is everything going with Garrett? Is he angry that Laney's leaving?"

A smile broke Brandon's serious expression from seeing the nervous look on Janet's face. "Don't worry, Garrett's very calm right now."

"Really?" Janet couldn't seem to believe it.

Brandon nodded and sighed. "After what happened this time, Garrett has been more mature. If I were him, I might not be able to be calm enough to simply wait in Barnes."

Janet angled her head teasingly. "Then what would you do?"

Brandon pulled Janet into his arms and looked into her eyes affectionately. His tone was serious when he said, "I would find you right away and make sure you won't be able to leave my side. You'll have to stay with me forever."

With her arms around Brandon's neck, Janet smiled gently. "You wouldn't even let the whole thing happen, to start with."

Raising his eyebrows, Brandon asked, "You know me so well?"

Janet kissed him. "You're my husband, of course, I know you," she said against his lips.

"But..."

A second or two passed before Janet continued, "I think Laney and Garrett could have a happy ending. No matter how much hardship they have gone through, their love for each other will always make a way for them to eventually be together."

Brandon had a different opinion, however. "If Garrett wants to make up with his wife truly, he'll only succeed when he reorganizes the Harding family. He needs to get rid of the shackles of the Harding family completely for Laney to be really happy."

Janet nodded in agreement.

Garrett's next steps would dictate the future of their marriage.

Through Janet's help, Laney managed to go to another city with her baby.

"Mrs. Harding, it's cold here. You'd better put on a coat," Ian reminded, as considerate as ever.

He opened the suitcase, took out a warm coat, and carefully put it on Laney's shoulders.
