Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 590

Because the Lester family lived in Seacisco, in order to deal with them, Ethan now often stayed there, and so did Janet.

On the days Ethan didn't go to the office, he stayed in the study at home. It was as though he was always in a never-ending video conference. Holding a tray with a cup of coffee and a plate of pastries, Janet knocked on the door lightly. "Honey, may I come in?"

"Of course." Ethan's voice was low. He was scolding his subordinates just now, and there was still a trace of anger in his eyes.

Ever since he declared war on the Lester family, he had been on edge every day, always on the verge of snapping. Only when Janet was around did he have a smile on his face.

"The servant told me that you haven't had dinner. I make some chicken soup, and I can bring it to you later." After setting the coffee on the table, Janet put a biscuit into Ethan's mouth and pouted. "If this keeps up, your body will break down."

She tugged at Ethan's wrinkled shirt and narrowed her eyes at him disapprovingly.

Ethan looked back at her in silence. Then he stood up, leaned his back against the desk, and pulled her into his arms. Swallowing the biscuit, he then kissed her on the lips. "I never told you off when you were working nonstop."

Janet almost rolled her eyes, but stopped when she saw that there seemed to be something off about Ethan. He looked restless, like a bloodthirsty beast out to hunt his prey.

"Honey, I'm worried about you." Wrapping her arms on his neck, Janet started to kiss him back, deepening the kiss.

Soon, Ethan's palm slid from her waist to her buttocks.

It wasn't until the both of them were out of breath that Ethan finally let Janet go. He lowered his head, resting his forehead on hers. "I'm fine. I'm going to succeed."

In his deep voice was a strange mix of calmness and madness.

Fearing that Ethan would fall into an irredeemable pit of hatred, Janet hugged him anxiously. "Tomorrow is Saturday. Let's go out on a date, okay? We haven't hung out for a long time."
