Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 236

A clinking sound rang out as the cups collided.

"Okay. Cheers to reconciliation." Janet was sneering on the inside, but she clinked cups with her. She smiled at Jocelyn with clear eyes, as if she was oblivious to everything.

Jocelyn fixed her eyes on her adoptive sister and took a few sips of her coffee. Several ideas on what she would do next swirled in her conniving mind.

"Oh, you are almost done drinking your coffee." When she saw that Janet had almost finished up her cup of coffee without suspecting anything, her smile became brighter.

"Well, I can't help it. I like the coffee here. No other cafe makes such a perfect cup of coffee." She supported her jaw with one hand, and circled her index finger on the brim of the cup while looking into the night through the window.

At this moment, a tall and familiar figure wearing a windbreaker quietly passed by the window and blended into the dim street. This figure had a black cap on. Although his face was covered, his tall figure was eye-catching under the streetlights.

Janet was relieved to see him. That tall figure was Ethan.

Ethan took glances at the two women who were sitting beside one of the windows of the cafe. He stood beside the newsstand across the street. Afterward, he took out today's newspaper and leafed through it.

"What did you see, Janet? Why are you smiling from ear to ear all of a sudden?" Jocelyn tapped the table with her fingers to call Janet's attention. She was waiting for the drug to begin to take effect on her.

The tap on the table made Janet come to her senses at once. She pursed her lips to hide her joy and decided to change the topic. Waving her hand, she said, "It's nothing. I've accepted your apology and was done with the coffee. Do you have anything else to say to me?"

'You want to leave now? Not so fast, bitch. I finally got you to drink the coffee. How can I let you leave just like that? You have to pass out in my presence. And then, I will take my revenge!' Jocelyn thought devilishly.

"Oh, Janet. I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to catch up with you. We can talk just like all sisters do." Jocelyn called her name dearly as if they were really close. She even brushed the back of Janet's hand.

The drug was supposed to take effect in a few minutes. Now, she was only stalling time.
