Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1245

Janet and Clyde had both agreed to rendezvous at an upscale cafe, nestled amidst stunning scenery.

Nerves tingling with anticipation, Clyde reached the cafe early, eagerly awaiting Janet's arrival.

The photos he took of Hannah were no coincidence.

He'd known for some time that Janet yearned to leave W Marks, aspiring to be an independent designer. Hannah's garments were Janet's first solo endeavor.

Initially, Clyde puzzled over why Janet would design for an ordinary elderly woman.

Upon discerning the connection between Janet and Hannah, a plan took shape in his mind.

To get closer to Janet, Clyde resolved to approach Hannah first.

Thus, he ventured to the countryside, capturing those images of Hannah and investing heavily in high-profile marketing campaigns. With considerable effort, he propelled the photos to the top of trending topics.

As anticipated, upon seeing the pictures at the summit of the trends, Janet reached out to him, even consenting to a private meeting.

As long as their encounter remained uninterrupted, Clyde believed he could capture the fair maiden's heart.

Lost in reverie, a knock at the door jolted him back to reality.

His gaze darted to the door.

A delicate hand gently pushed open the door to the private room. The ethereal figure who had haunted his dreams gracefully entered.

Clyde's heart thundered as the captivating woman drew nearer.

Janet's beauty remained unparalleled.

"Excuse me, are you the artist, Clyde Lambert?" Janet's dulcet tones echoed within the chamber.

His breath hitched. "Yes... Yes... Yes, I am," he stammered, struggling to control his galloping heart. A charming smile graced her lips. "Nice to meet you. I'm Janet White, the designer of Hannah's clothes." Trembling slightly, Clyde inhaled deeply before cautiously accepting her outstretched hand, feigning composure. "Hello, I'm Clyde Lambert."

"I've heard a lot about you," she replied. Janet's smile was unwavering as she released his hand and seated herself opposite him.

Her poised speech and self-assured smile sent his heart aflutter.
