Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 4

Seeing the frown on Janet's face, Ethan followed her gaze and saw his watch. Moments later, he realized what she was thinking. "This is a knock -off that I borrowed from my friend," he whispered into her ear. "I usually wear it to look cool but didn't expect you'd notice it soon."

Ethan removed the watch and put it into his pocket.-

"It looks real." Janet smiled and stepped back, covering her flaming ears.

Ethan was leaning closer, and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke.

As Janet thought about it, she realized it was normal for a man like Ethan to have a street friend who sold fakes.

She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, Janet had freaked out, thinking Ethan had done something illegal to make a fortune.

Ethan knitted his brows. He had heard that the daughter of the Lind family had several boyfriends and hung out with different men all the time. The girl's shyness seemed to surprise him.

"The bridegroom is here. Why hasn't the wedding started yet?" asked a sweet voice of a woman.

Jocelyn grinned and walked forward, holding her boyfriend's arm. "Since the bridegroom is here, let me introduce my boyfriend to you," she said, deliberately raising her voice a decibel higher. "This is Steve Carter, the eldest son of the Carter family. We are family. Steve and I can help you in the future."

Steve hurriedly lowered his head. It was almost as though he was too ashamed to meet Janet's gaze.

When Janet saw Steve arrive with Jocelyn, she felt nothing. So she pretended that it was their first time to meet and commented lightly, "Nice introduction. But your current boyfriend is different from the one I saw last week. I wonder if you're going to be with him or not next week."

Steve's feigned smile instantly went stiff.
