Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 659

"Mom, I haven't even figured out what's wrong with Brandon yet. I can't let our marriage end just like that. If we get divorced, Charis will have gotten exactly what she wanted. I have to figure out what on earth is going on first. Since Brandon doesn't want to tell me the truth, I'll have to find it out myself." As she spoke, Janet's voice was soft but firm.

"I'm only worried that you'll get hurt, Janet. Brandon's attitude toward you is very clear now. He just wants you to be his wife on paper." Johanna sighed heavily.

Janet lowered her head, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.

"Mom, I know where you're coming from. It's true. Brandon doesn't love me anymore. And I don't know why. But given the circumstances, no matter how hard I try to get close to him, it just doesn't work. I have to be cold and negotiate with him directly, showing him the advantages and disadvantages of being with me. Maybe that way, Brandon will pay more attention to our relationship. As long as I can spend more time with him, I am confident that I can bring the previous Brandon back."

Johanna knew she wouldn't be able to change her daughter's mind.

Since Janet was her precious daughter, she could only support whatever Janet wanted to do.

Finally, she snorted and said seriously, "If Brandon makes you cry again, I won't let him or the Larson Group go."

"Thanks, Mom. I know you're the best!" Tears welled up in Janet's eyes again. She couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms, acting like a spoiled child.

Johanna held her tightly and said helplessly, "You were always a smooth talker when you need something from your mother."

Beal burst into laughter. "Well, you can't blame her. You know what? Janet's temper is just like yours when you were young. She got her stubbornness from you!"

*******

That night, Janet didn't go back to the hotel with Johanna and Beal. Instead, she moved back to the villa she and Brandon had lived in before.

This villa was quite close to the Larson Group headquarters. Not long after she stepped foot inside the house, she heard the sound of engine coming from the gate of the villa.

When Janet turned around, she saw a handsome but indifferent man standing at the door.

Janet immediately stiffened. Brandon was still as good-looking as before, but his cold attitude toward her was extremely off-putting.
