Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 710

At a loss, eyes wide as saucers, Janet said nothing.

Damn it! She was caught in the act!

Without changing her expression, she carefully put the plate of meatballs back into the fridge, licked the sauce off of her fingers, and then patted Brandon on the shoulder. "Not bad, but you can do better."

Then she walked right past him, intending to go upstairs as if nothing happened.

"Where do you think you're going, little thief?" Brandon grabbed the collar of her pajamas and pulled her back to him in one swift motion.

He lowered his head and locked eyes with her.

Perhaps it was because of the dim light from the kitchen, but Brandon looked unprecedentedly aggressive at that moment. It suddenly occurred to Janet that when they first met, he was nothing but a bad-tempered and slovenly man.

"What thief? What're you talking about?" Janet asked warily, unable to meet his wild gaze. "I didn't steal anything."

Brandon pinched her chin and forced her to look up at him. "Do you want me to gouge out the food in your mouth as evidence?"

Hearing what he said, Janet quickly tried to swallow the half-chewed meatball. However, it got stuck in her throat. Choking, she grabbed her neck with her hands and started to cough violently.

Brandon's eyes darkened. He held her up and made her sit on the table. Then he rushed to the fridge and got her a bottle of water.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, Janet finally felt better.

Patting her on the back to help her breathe, Brandon took a tissue and carefully dabbed her mouth with it.
