Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 5

"You better take a shower first. I can wait." Janet subconsciously stepped back as if guarding herself against an enemy.

She looked like a trapped bird, struggling hard to hide her panic.

She didn't know how to face her so-called husband.

The man stood at the table and looked at Janet.

She looked like a deer caught in headlights.

Ethan looked at her and chuckled. "Don't be nervous. I won't eat you. I need to discuss something with you."

Janet crossed her arms over her chest and hesitantly walked over to him. She didn't want to be associated with this man in any way. Everything was happening too fast. She was married to a man she had just met at her wedding.

"What is it?"

Ethan picked up a wooden chair with one hand and put it in front of her. "Sit down, please."

Then, he dragged his chair closer to Janice and sat down. "I don't like beating around the bush. I know you're unwilling to marry me."

'Is it that obvious?' thought Janet.
