Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 309

Laney hobbled out of the bathroom, every inch of her body sore.

Garrett saw the sweat gathered on her forehead and that she clutched onto the door frame of the bathroom with her fingers, seemingly not knowing what to do next. She seemed to be hesitating at the bathroom door about how to walk back awkwardly.

This was indeed very inconvenient for her and she would feel even more uncomfortable if Garrett continued to stay there.

Garrett picked up his suit jacket from the chair and uttered these words, "I have a meeting to attend to later, so I'm heading out now. I'll call the nurse over later. If you need anything, she can help you. Feel free to spend Ethan's money as you please. Your injury was a result of you protecting his woman after all. You can also call me if anything else comes up."

Before leaving, Garrett placed his fingertip on the cake box and tapped on it. "Since it's not going in the fridge, you'd better finish it up soon."

Watching Garrett walk out the door, Laney staggered from the bathroom in the direction of the bed. She looked at the pink bear-like cake and hesitated for some time. After that, she slowly made her way over to the cake box and opened it. She dipped her fingers into the pink cream and placed it into her mouth.

The cream was very sweet, much sweeter than she originally thought. But it was not very greasy. Looking at the door that Garrett had gone out of, Laney thought that he was not that bad after all. • • •

As soon as Janet snuck back to the company, Tiffany asked her to meet her in her office.

"Why haven't you shown up the whole morning? Where did you head off to?" There was anxiety evident in Tiffany's voice. She was dressed up very gracefully today. She had on a long pink off -the-shoulder dress, appearing very elegant.

Usually, she liked to wear suits of black and white colors, which made her appearance seem very shrewd and capable.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Rubbing her fingers together in a nervous manner, Janet appeared a little confused. Tiffany wouldn't be looking for her if there wasn't anything important.

Tiffany shook her head with a look of disappointment on her face. She took the coat hanging from the hanger and rapped Janet's forehead with her knuckles. "You are really forgetful. This afternoon happens to be the opening of Fashion Week in Seacisco."
