Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 560

Later that evening, Janet went to the Michelin-starred restaurant Ethan had booked.

Wearing just a simple T-shirt and jeans, Janet stood out like a sore thumb in the fancy restaurant.

Sitting opposite her was a calm man with a cold temperament. He propped his chin on his palm and watched helplessly as the woman tinkered with her iPad.

"Is your work really that urgent?" Seeing the dark circles under Janet's eyes, Ethan felt tired for her. It had been half an hour since Janet sat down. She had been on her iPad that whole time, tirelessly working on her design drafts.

Janet broke off a piece of a cookie and popped it into her mouth. "We just received two big orders. Plus, we're launching another line this coming fashion week. Everyone's been so busy lately. In fact, Elizabeth's still in the office."

Ethan frowned slightly and plucked the iPad from her hands. "Can you take a look at me for one second? You can continue working after dinner. I won't take up too much of your time, I promise." With the iPad taken away from her, Janet looked at him sheepishly. "Sorry, honey. I've just been so busy at work lately. When my schedule frees up, how about we go on a trip?"

"Soyou're aware thatyou'vebeenneglectingme?" Ethan grumbled. Realizing he was whining like a child, he coughed in embarrassment and cut the steak for Janet. "Let's eat first."

Janet put on a charming smile and ate the steak that Ethan had cut into bite-size pieces for her. As she chewed, she looked around the restaurant, deep in thought. "This restaurant's design is pretty simple but elegant. The color scheme will look good on clothes, I think."

"Why's your mind still on work?" Ethan felt both helpless and amused. "Please pay attention to your husband, whom you've neglected for so many days."

From under the table, Janet gently touched Ethan's thigh and smiled innocently. "But I've never neglected you in bed."

With his chin resting on his palm, Ethan's eyebrows shot up.

The more he got to know Janet, the more he felt that she was two different people in and out of bed.
