Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 23

Janet was busy every day at work and seldom had time for herself. Time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye because she was consumed with work.

"What a coincidence! How about we go back together?" Christopher stopped Janet in front of the elevator.

Ever since Janet joined the Larson Group, the two had been coincidentally meeting every day after work.

Sometimes, Janet would meet Christopher even if she worked overtime.

"Chris, how come we meet every day after work?" Janet asked, smiling.

Her biggest problem was not knowing to say no to people.

Just then, her phone blared in her bag. She took it and saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen. Therefore, she quickly answered the call. "What's up?"

"I found a house. I'm in the cafe opposite your company. Let's go and see the house together." Ethan's words were brief and concise.

She didn't expect him to act fast.

Janet put away her phone and looked at Christopher apologetically. "I'm sorry, Chris. I have important work to do. I have to go now."

"Okay, go ahead." Christopher smiled and watched Janet scurry out.

He couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the line had said.

However, judging from the smile on her face, Christopher felt she shared a good bond with the caller.

When Christopher walked out of the building of the Larson Group, he saw Janet and a tall man disappear into a corner. The man was holding Janet's laptop bag.

Looking at the man's side profile, Christopher felt he was a handsome man.

The house Ethan had mentioned earlier was near the Larson Group. It was a small apartment with two bedrooms, one living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The location, neighborhood, and every aspect of the house seemed to work well for Janet. The tasteful decoration was an added advantage.

"Ethan, the house has excellent lighting and is close to my company. It's only ten minutes' walk from the Larson Group."

Janet's eyes twinkled with delight as she walked around the house. However, the happiness vanished from her face in an instant.
