Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 393

"Ethan, am I your all-around-nanny?" Garrett continued whining over the phone. "I only get paid for one person's worth of labor, but I put in twice as much time."

"You want a raise? Wait, you don't need money at all. What you really want is a vacation, don't you?" How could Ethan not tell what Garrett was thinking? He was like an open book.

Garrett raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you realize how long I've been working for you without having a proper vacation? Years!"

"Fine. Once you finished the task I assigned to you, I'll give you some time off."

"Now we're talking," Garrett replied, obviously pleased with what Ethan said. But he had to be honest; the fire incident was really weird.

"I'll call you once I find out something."

*******

For starters, Garrett visited the other residents of the building Ethan lived in and asked around about the truck.

It didn't take long until he found some clues.

The fire incident happened on the day it stopped snowing in Seacisco.

Was it truly just a coincidence? If the fire broke out during a snowy day, it wouldn't have spread to the rooftop that fast and cause injury to Ethan.

Soon, Garrett told Ethan everything he found out.

They had their own theory about who had hired that truck driver. The man had once delivered seafood for clients who lived in high-end gated communities, and the Lester family was on his customer list.

But still, it couldn't really prove anything. The Lesters could argue that he was just a delivery man and they didn't even really know him.
