Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 31

Janet finally snapped out of her astonishment when the owner of the restaurant left with his staff.

She quietly stared at Ethan. 'How could he be so calm?' she wondered.

"Ethan, what just happened? Why was the owner of this restaurant nice to you? Besides, he didn't probe the issue to find out what really happened. How was he so sure that the waitresses were rude to us?"

Janet fired one question after the other.

"He didn't have to question them. High-end restaurants always handle problems like these with care because they can't afford to lose their reputation. The manager and waitresses were thoughtless, but the owner knew what to do. After all, losing even one customer would impact their business because reputation is their biggest asset," Ethan explained.

Biting her lip, Janet nodded in understanding. Ethan's words made sense.

"Speaking of which..." She grinned and playfully nudged his arm. "You were domineering like you were his boss."

"Gangsters like us have to put on an act at all times. It's a dangerous world. Otherwise, I'd be dead by now." Ethan filled Janet's bowl with soup and looked at her.

Janet felt he was right, so she didn't probe further.

Since Janet didn't have to pay for their dinner, she enjoyed the meal and ordered all her favorite food. The owner gave them a bottle of Lafite as a token of his apology. Janet had never tried expensive wine before, so she downed a few glasses and soon got drunk.

Therefore, Ethan picked her up in his arms and walked out of the restaurant.

Sean had been waiting at the door of the restaurant for a long time. He opened the car door for Ethan and grinned at him. "Boss, you and your wife are in a good mood today."

"She is drunk." Ethan gently put her inside the car. "Ask Garrett to inspect all the restaurants that belong to the Larson Group once again."

Although Janet didn't drink much, she was a wimpy drinker.
