Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 69

"What?" Garrett was scared out of his wits.

His hands trembled, and the teacup fell to the floor. He sprang up from the sofa and peeked out of the room to see if Ethan was outside.

Then, he looked at Janet and shook his head vehemently, "No, I absolutely do not have a crush on you. Don't talk nonsense! I did everything for the company. And for Mr. Larson!" "Well... Mr. Harding, it was just a casual question. I..." Startled by his reaction, Janet quickly stood up too. "Are you okay, Mr. Harding?"

Garrett quickly stepped back to keep a safe distance from her as if she were a dreadful monster. Sweat beaded his forehead.

"I'm fine. Don't come near me. Stay away! Although only the two of us are in this room, there's a third pair of eyes watching us."

With that, he opened the door and stormed out of the room. He didn't dare to stay in the same room with Janet anymore.

Garrett completely forgot that this was his own office.

Janet frowned, her eyes still fixed on the door, dumbfounded by his reaction.

She had thought about it a lot before coming here but didn't expect Garrett would react this way.

Even if her guess was wrong, he should have either yelled at her or laughed at her for being stupid. But he was strangely scared, which seemed to confuse Janet.

'What did he mean? Is there something scary and horrible about me?'

she wondered, rubbing her hair. Not knowing what else to do, Janet let out a weary sigh and walked out of the office in confusion.

She couldn't understand what was going on.

After Garrett left his office, he rushed out to see Ethan.
