Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 56

The bar looked dim except for the occasional neon lights that flashed from time to time. The loud music vibrated through the floor.

Seeing Ethan walking into the bar, Garrett quickly drove away the beautiful women clinging to him and straightened his clothes.

After hearing why Ethan was here today, Garrett burst out laughing. "I can't believe you'd come to me one day for such a thing."

Ethan slowly picked up the glass. The dim lights softened his features, making him look more handsome. He leaned against the sofa, stretching out his long legs. "Mind your tongue. Unless you don't want to have weekends this month."

Garrett cleared his throat and swallowed the rest of his words.

He picked a glass of wine and sat beside Ethan. "Do you want me to be single all my life? My eighteenth girlfriend is waiting for me to take her on a date this weekend."

"Didn't you say that your seventeenth girlfriend was pregnant? Don't you want to get married?" Ethan frowned and took a sip of the wine.

"How could I marry a woman pregnant with another man's child?" Garrett sneered but quickly rearranged his expression and smiled at Ethan. "Coaxing women is easy," he said, scratching his chin. "If you knowingly or unknowingly piss her off, just apologize to her. Hug her and say something sweet. Her anger will quickly subside."

Ethan rolled his eyes impatiently. "What's the matter with you? If I knew what to say, I wouldn't be asking you for help."

"Are you serious?" Garrett downed the remaining contents of his drink and pushed his glass up. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Do you know what she likes? Buy her something she likes: branded bags, jewelry, clothes. Buy a lot of the most expensive things she likes, and just shower her with gifts. I promise she will calm down the next day."

Ethan's face was hidden in the dark; only his high nose was revealed. His fingertips drew circles on the rim of the glass. "She likes those things, but that's only because she can sell them for money. I'd rather give her the money directly."

"Hmm... Your wife is quite interesting," Garrett said, smiling.

Ethan glared at him. Garrett immediately waved his hand and explained, "I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong. Since she likes money, it will be easier to solve the problem. You're a wealthy man, after all."
