Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 412

Janet clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms.

Even though Ethan's explanation made sense, she still felt inexplicably sad.

The man standing in front of her now was graceful, gentle, yet indisputably powerful. He was wearing an expensive suit, leather shoes, a luxury watch...

Janet couldn't help but feel like they were not from the same world.

She had grown close to Ethan, but now she felt that there was still an insurmountable gap between them.

A lump formed in her throat. "But you lied to me, Mr. Larson."

The words "Mr. Larson" cemented the huge gap between them.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Even if I knew your other identity, I wouldn't have leaped at the chance to announce to the world that I am Mrs. Larson. I still would've wanted to be an employee at the Larson Group. Did you think that women have to be housewife after marrying a rich husband? Or were you afraid that I would take advantage of the situation after finding out that you are the CEO of the Larson Group? You don't trust me, do you?" "You misunderstand me, Janet," Ethan started to say.

"I do trust you. I just feel that you will be hurt if we can't tell the world that you're Brandon Larson's wife."

Janet shook her head and bit her lower lip, trying so hard not to cry. "You never thought that I'd like to be by your side as Ethan Lester's wife even if I found out the truth. Because of that, you lied to me countless times. I was so stupid to think that I was just lucky! I had even started to wonder if you and Brandon were either lovers or twins. Did you think it was fun to keep me in the dark like some fool?"

Seeing Janet's mounting anger, Ethan was at a loss for words. He could only lower his head and keep silent, like a child who knew he had done something wrong.

Ethan had chosen not to tell her the truth because he believed it wasn't the right time. Now, he was tongue tied.
