Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 715

When they arrived at the restaurant, Janet texted Brandon a quick message.

It was an impromptu dinner so she wasn't able to inform him beforehand. She sent a message saying that she was having dinner with her colleagues.

"Who are you texting? What's with the goofy smile on your face?" Elizabeth asked mischievously. She was sitting opposite to her and pouring a glass of water when she saw the bright smile on Janet's face.

Janet sighed wistfully, her eyes shining.

She picked up the glass of water and took a sip. "Oh, it's just my husband. He said he would pick me up later, but I told him I can just walk home." Besides, their boss was dining with them tonight. Nobody knew when the dinner would end.

Elizabeth nodded quietly. She was a little envious of Janet for having such a loving husband.

"You two have been through a lot, right? Yet you're still so sweet with each other." Elizabeth lowered her eyes. There was slight bitterness to her tone.

She was a quiet girl who rarely ever showed emotion. Janet couldn't tell whether Elizabeth was upset or not.

So she simply nodded.

She didn't know what was going on in Brandon's mind, but she knew that their relationship was good now. "We're doing well now, but yes, we've been through a lot. Sometimes I wish that Brandon was an ordinary person. Nevertheless, I love him no matter what."

She didn't go into detail about the challenges they had suffered.

Janet knew that she was happier than most people—at least, on the surface. She knew that even if she complained, the others wouldn't understand where she was coming from. In fact, they might've even thought that she was showing off.

Elizabeth smiled faintly and then fell into silence. There seemed to be a lot of unspoken things on her mind.

Draco didn't say anything at all. He was a very quiet person who usually just listened.

Janet noticed Draco's gaze, so she looked at him curiously and asked, "Is there something on your mind, Mr. Wesley?"
