Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 171

The two packed Hannah's belongings and took her to the city.

However, Hannah didn't like the idea. "I feel uncomfortable about moving into the city. You two are just married. I don't want to bother you. Moreover, you both have to go to work, and I'm sure you'll come home exhausted. I don't want to be a burden to you. Moreover, I'm not used to living in the city either. The high buildings and wide roads frighten me. I won't be able to chat with my friends in our village anymore."

"I'm not asking you to live with us forever. Stay here, in the city, so that we can avoid the debt collectors. I know you prefer living in the village, but it doesn't seem like a good idea now. We'll send you back once the problem is over," Janet comforted her.

Hannah sighed and nodded in agreement.

Once they returned to the apartment, Janet vacated her room and put her personal belongings in Ethan's room.

"Why are you moving your things? Are you two sleeping in separate rooms even after being married for so long?" Hannah grabbed Janet's arm and eyed her with concern. "Is that man not treating you right? Did you two fight?"

Hannah squinted and looked at Ethan, who was busy cooking in the kitchen. Janet couldn't help but smile at her concern. "No, we are fine. I've been working overtime, so I come home late at night. I didn't want to disturb Ethan's sleep, so I chose to sleep in a separate room. Hannah, the long ride must have exhausted you. Do you want to take a nap in the bedroom?"

"That's good. I thought the handsome boy wasn't treating you well." Hannah smiled, and the wrinkles around her eyes deepened like they always did. "All right. Don't overwork yourself. Keep it simple. I'm old, and I live a simple life."

Janet took all her clothes to Ethan's bedroom so that Hannah could rest in her room.

Just then, Janet felt a tight grip around her. Ethan chuckled, and the two rolled on the bed.

Janet yelped in shock. "Why didn't you make a sound before coming inside? Stop it. Hannah is still in the next room."

"My room is soundproof. Let's give it a try," Ethan mumbled, biting her collarbone. He pressed his body against hers. His loose black shirt slid down, revealing his collarbone. His chiseled jaw and the stubble made Janet weak in her knees.
