Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 542

Janet was left breathless from the deep kiss. She pinched Ethan's cheek and smiled shyly. "I'm not a child anymore. I can handle this. I'll get going now, okay?"

Glorie Street was an old and remote block. There was only one restaurant here—the steakhouse Lila mentioned.

It wasn't a particularly clean restaurant. There were all sorts of bugs and flies all over the place.

In the restaurant sat a group of tough-looking men with tattoos covering their arms. With toothpicks in their mouths, they looked just like a bunch of hooligans.

As soon as Janet stepped foot inside the steakhouse, they all turned to look at her with eager eyes.

Lila stood up and waved at her from the table near the door. "Janet, over here!"

Janet nodded in greeting.

They hadn't seen each other for over a month. Lila had lost a lot of weight. Her makeup was not as pristine as before, and her eyes were full of undisguised fatigue.

"I know several good cafes in the area. How about we talk there?" Janet suggested, glancing at the men from the corner of her eye.

"This place is owned by a friend of Jeff's. I don't have that much money now, so I could only afford the food here," Lila explained with a smile.

"Oh, Jeff's my brother."

Left with no choice, Janet sat down at the table.

The restaurant was empty other than the group of men. There were barely any people outside, too. This was clearly a place for doing illegal stuff.

The staff soon brought them two plates of steak. Lila pushed one of them in front of Janet and said, "Try it. I like their food."

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at the man who had served the steak just now.

She knew that Jeff and his friends were hiding in the kitchen.
