Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 58

"Do you have the flower shop's phone number? Ask if the flowers can be returned." After clearing the petals on the floor, Janet laid a pile of flowers on the dining table.

Ethan painstakingly removed all the candles from the floor and made a call to have his men take the flowers away.

It was already midnight by the time they finished cleaning.

Exhausted, Janet leaned against the sofa.

"I was able to get this much back from the flower shop." With one hand in his pocket, Ethan walked over to Janet and put a wad of cash next to her.

"Why are you giving it to me? It's your money."

Janet looked tired, but her tone was as cold as it was that morning.

As she spoke, she dumped the money on the coffee table and then got up to walk to her room. Before closing the door behind her, she stole one last glance at the man.

Truth be told, she was delighted to have received flowers from Ethan. She had never seen so many flowers before, let alone the fact that they were from Ethan.

But the most important thing for two people to get along was to trust each other. Ethan didn't trust her enough, and that was what made her mad. She couldn't let go of it so soon.

Breathing a long sigh, Janet threw herself to the bed dejectedly.

Just outside her door, Ethan was seething with rage. He gritted his teeth and walked to the balcony to call Garrett.

"So how did it go? Have you won her heart yet?" Garrett asked bluntly, his voice riddled with amusement.

Ethan sneered. His eyes clouded over, even darker than the night sky. "Thanks to you, I haven't rested since sundown," he hissed.

"Oh, my God! You're amazing! It's been almost four hours! Good job, buddy!" Unfortunately, Garrett didn't seem to sense anything wrong. He continued excitedly, "I told you it'd work! Since I've helped you with something so important, would you consider giving me some time off?"
