Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 47

Janet's head started to pound. It was hard for her to deal with this matter with ease. Normally, she wouldn't admit that she was married—especially since she had married in Jocelyn's stead. If people knew that she was married, their little secret would be exposed.

Forcing an apologetic smile, she tried to laugh it off and said, "I told Chris just now, didn't I?"

Ethan snorted but said nothing.

The atmosphere among the three seemed to be cold as ice. Janet had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the way into the restaurant.

After they sat down, Christopher excused himself and went to the bathroom to calm himself down. He just couldn't accept the fact that Janet was married out of the blue.

Ever since he had taken his seat, Ethan hadn't even glanced at Janet. While flipping through the menu, Janet nudged him gently. "Are you mad at me?"

The man rested his chin on his hand as he skimmed through the menu. His eyes were cloudy, and he didn't even look at her when she tried to talk to him. With a small, stiff smile, he replied, "No. Leave me alone."

Disappointed, Janet pursed her lips but didn't say anything more.

"Did you two order already?" When Christopher returned, he smiled at them politely.

He could tell that there was some tension between the couple, but he was still flustered and didn't know what to say.

"Not yet. Chris, is there anything in particular that you want to eat?" Janet handed him the menu with a small smile.

Throughout the course of the meal, nobody spoke a word. Only Janet and Christopher would occasionally make a comment, only for the conversation to die shortly after.

When he was done with his steak, Ethan sank into the back of his chair, giving off a cold aura.

Just then, Jocelyn and her friends entered the restaurant.

"Wow... Look over there, Jocelyn. Is he a celebrity?" Jocelyn followed the gaze of her friend and found Ethan sitting at a table. He was incredibly handsome, but seemed oblivious to the fact that he had become the center of attention.

"Wait. I know him..." A smug smile appeared on Jocelyn's face, but then the corners of her mouth dropped when she saw that Ethan was accompanied by both Janet and Christopher.

Two handsome men and a beautiful woman were all seated together. The scene was quite eye -catching.

Jocelyn gritted her teeth with rage.
