Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 123

A silence fell over the car. Even the driver didn't dare to make a sound.

Outside the car window, the trees swayed as the wind whistled through their branches, like a ghost singing in the night.

At Janet's question, Ethan's expression darkened.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, just forget it. I'm sorry I brought it up," Janet apologized immediately, sensing that she had said something wrong. "I was just curious. I didn't mean to offend you."

She turned around and focused on the scenery outside, watching the trees and scattered lights. Truth be told, she was a little disappointed.

She didn't know what was with her tonight. Maybe all the booze from the party gave her the courage to ask Ethan something personal.

To her disappointment, she failed at the first try.

The wind blew in through the window. Suddenly, Janet felt a warm hand holding hers.

She turned around to meet Ethan's deep eyes. "Didn't you want to know about my mother? You're sitting so far from me. How could I tell you without shouting?"

Janet looked around and found that it was true. Her whole body was pressed against the window, as though she wanted to put as much distance between her and Ethan as possible.

Just as she was about to scoot over, the car came to a halt. They had arrived at their apartment.

"Already?" Janet muttered unhappily. Ethan hadn't spilled any beans yet.
