When Janet woke up, it was already noon of the following day.
She stretched and immediately felt the soreness and stiffness of her whole body. Almost as if she had been hit by a car.
Annoyed, she glared at Brandon, only to find the man already awake and grinning down at her. His eyes were deep and dark on her.
"Morning, honey." Brandon pulled Janet in his arms, kissing her gently on her hair. "Are you still angry?" With her head on Brandon's chest, she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. The sound of it cooled Janet down.
"I know you're not the kind of man who confines his wife at home. You said that yesterday to motivate me, didn't you?" Janet concluded.
"You finally understand," Brandon said with a slight smile.
Janet looked up and Brandon saw the determination in her eyes. "I accept your challenge. After eight months, assess my studio's profit and loss. By that time I will definitely impress you."
Janet's confidence made Brandon's heart throb. He could hardly believe he was holding such a woman in his arms right now.
He hugged Janet tightly and affectionately said, "Just do what you want to do. Let me know if you have any problems. I'll always be behind you to protect you."
The sincerity of Brandon's affectionate promise made Janet's heart skip a beat.
How lucky was she to have such a perfect and mature man to live with for the rest of her life?
Having a child as outstanding as him would be such an honor.
As she leaned against the man's chest, Janet couldn't help but look forward to the baby the two of them would create.

Soon it was the day Janet would leave W Marks.
Her studio was now fully decorated and soon, it would be functional. Besides, Clyde had also helped promote her own brand. Everyone following her social media platforms knew she was an independent designer now. She had no reason to stay in W Marks anymore.
